CAUGHT AT LAST.

One of the Sevcrat Burgi ars ia
Town Arrested with Some Of the
Stolen Property on His Person,
and Three of His Supposed Pals
Also jagged.
1t Is confidently believed that Sheriff
Stinson and his posse have at last suc-
ceeded in arresting the ringleaders in the
numerous bold thefts committed in town
during the pest fortnight. For several
days the posse Swallowed two or three in
dividusls, but il was deemed advisable to
make no arrests until the whereabouts OF
some Of the stolen articles could be learned.
On Tuesday evening one OF the suspected
parties was missing and although a quiet
search Of the haunts no frequented was
made he could not be found. Officer
Pearce knew where one Of tho suspected
individuals, Low Manning, lodged, and
about midnight no woke him up. Pearce
told Manning that he had positive proof
that he was one OF a party engaged in sew
ersl burglaries committed in town OF late,
and that he might as we'll own up to the
crime at once. At first the fellow showed
q defiant disposition, but whom he saw the
officer manifested no evidence OF weakening
he acknowledged that the individual whom
the posse had missed had showed him a
piece of jewelry that day and had said that
he had more OF 1t in his pockets; hat the
fellow had expressed a desire TO 60 to Elko
and wanted to know il some coin for
both OF them to travel on could not be
rail- d; that he could easily raise the

Officer Pearce, on suspicion, arrested
Manning. and after placing him in the
lookup notified the Sheriff Of what he had
learned. II was then CLEANED from parties
on Lower Main street that the name Of the
missing man was Charley Leonard; that
while he was several years ago q resident
on the Oomstook sud in Idaho he had
come to Eureka about q month ago. as he
claimed, from Leadville, Col, stopping
for brief periods in towns OF Central
Utah. A search for him was at once inau-
gurated, and tracks were found leading
from the main road below town of to.
wards Diamond Mountain. The officers
felt 30 certain the tracks we're those Of the
missing man from their winding and ap-
perently aimless course that she search
was postponed until morning. At about 8
A. NJ. yesterday, Caller Stinson mounted q
saddle animal and continued the search,
and after travelling almost to the base Of
the mountain mentioned he found that the
fellow, evidently finding the snow deeper
than he expected. had retrsced his steps
and gone towards the Willows. where

Stinson spurrod up his steed and soon
overlook the offender, who. having no re.
volver, saw that 1t was useless for him 10
resist arrest. He told the officer after
wards that IL he had been armed he never
would AVE been taken alive.
Leonard. when arrested. had his coat
and p%antaloon pockets filled with grub,
and was evidently ready for q tramp.
Upon his person was also found the gold
watch and chain and the gold necklace that
had been stolen from Miss Annie Doyle
one night last week, and the pair OF gold
bracelets and several fancy hairpins that
we're stolen from tho residence Of Mrs.
Matthews, proprietress of the Stone
saloon, q week ago last night. The officer
brought his mar TO town and quietly in-
carcerated him In q room separate from
the one occupied by Manning, and then
arrested on suspicion two others. whose
names we hayo been unable to learn, who
ran with Leonard here and " bunked "

Among the articles stolen last week that
have not been recovered are o gold watch

buried somewhere. and a sealskin cloak
belonging TO Mrs. knight. II ia believed
the residence of Mrs. Mathews was robbed
by no less than three persons, and from
evidences they left behind them it is sp-

designs. In one OF the rooms was found

The Sheriff and his posse. and also the
community, are to be congratulated upon
the arrests made. Not only have burRlaries
been committed during the past fortnight,
but citizens have been "held up while
going through the streets at night and
their pockets relieved of the cash in them
There was some quiet talk a day or two
ago about "G01," and 1t is more than
possible that that organization would have
been heard from shortly had not tho at
