to Chappek's house, at 49S West
Twentieth street and arrest him. The
men at Farrell street waited until
nearly Z O'Clock before Hronek emerged
from his house and strOlled leisurely
toward the corner where Lieut.. Elliott
was lying in wait with three men. The
lieutenant Immediately recognized
Hronek from his picture and gave the
signal for his arrest. Two officers
Sprang from the corner, while, another
stepping from behind a tree, took the
anarchist in the rear and in spite of
A DESPERATE RESISTANCE
he was soon Overpowered and locked up
at the Deering street station. Then
Inspector Bonfield and Officer Mum
casky jumped into the inspectors
buggy and drove to Chelbowas' house
on Zion place. The anarchist was
put under arrest and taken to the
Deering street station. In the mean
time Lieut.. Elliott and his men entered
Hronek'S house, where they were met
by the anarchists wife and two chill
dren. who attempted to oppose their
passage. The women were pushed
aside and the officers went to HrOnek'S

and under the pillow was found large
revolver and the poisoned dagger. In
one corner of the room were a lot of
tin cases, about one and One-Quarter by
four inches, which were all empty.
There was large tin can full of some
substance, which has not yet been ana
lyZed, and bound with twine. Several
cast iron pipes about four inches in
length were also found, and small
quantity of dynamite. At Chelbowas'
house Inspector Bonfield found
four packages of dynamite containing
eight sticks. each about ten inches in
length, Illuminating cap and a loaded
bomb. These were taken to Deer
ing street and with the stuff
seized at Hronek's house were sent to
the central station. The officers were
tity of dynamite found in ~HrOnek's
house, as they had been informed that
he had large stock ON hand. 1t is
supposed that there is a lot more
either buried in the yard or hidden in
some nook in the house. A further
search will be instituted tomorrow.
The story was told by Inspector Bon
field, who said he was convinced that
the plot in all its details was the
MOST DANGEROUS ON RECORD.
"The dynamite" said he, sis the same
kind as that found in the possession of
the Haymarket cOnspirators." "Have
you had any talk with the prisoners?'
"Oh, yes. We first talked with Chap
pek. He denied knowing any
nell or Gary. He was not a
member of any group, and positively
denied all knowledge of acquaintance
with Hronek. We then went to see
Hronek, who at first told Capt. Fitz-
patrick and myself that he knew moth
ing of Chappek. We intimated that he
had with Chappek and Chelbowa visited
Aldine square, where Judge Grinnell
lived. Hronek then admitted that this
was true, but said he was only taking
a walk with some man he did not know.
ChelbOwa was also interviewed, but
could not talk anything but Bohemian,
and in that language denied everything
emphatically."
''Will there be more arrests?''

we will take in one or two more prison.

''Do you think the plot is completely
