and swore out a warrant for each of the sus-
poets under section "a, chapter SO of the re-
vised statutes. This section Is usually known
as the dynamite act" and provides pen
atty Of not less than five nor more than
twenty-five years in the penitentiary for
having in possession for any illegal purpose
any dynamite or similar explosives.
The warrants having been secured, the in
spector selected the officers who were to assist
in making the arrest, and about 3 o'clock
yesterday morning the party started for the
house of Hronek, on Farrell street, between
Lyman and Thirty-first. Each of the officers
was provided with photograph of Hronek,
copies of one furnished by the informer. The
officers were taken to Farrell street and
three were placed at each end of the block to
watch for Hronek's appearance, the inspector
not desiring to capture him in his house and
run the risk of having man killed with
bomb or the barbarous knife. Meanwhile
Lieut. Mahoney, at West Twelfth street sta
ton, had been directed to go to Chappek's
house at 49S West Twentieth street, and ar
rest 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 imme-
diately recognized Hronek from his picture
and gave the signal for his arrest. Two Off
GERS sprang from the corner while another,
stepping from behind tree, took the An
archist in the rear, and in spite of desper-
ate resistance, he was soon overpowered and
locked up at the Deering Street station.
Then Inspector Bonfield and Officer Num-
casky jumped into the inspectors buggy and
tn Nil
The Anarchist was found in bed and was
promptly put under arrest and taken to the
Deering Street station.
In the meantime Lieut.. Elliott and his men
entered Hronek's house, where they were
met by the Anarchists wife, aud two chill
dren who attempted to oppose their passage
The woman was pushed aside and the officers
went to Hroneks room. Over the bed was
a frame containing the pictures of the exc
cuted Anarchists, and under the pillow was
found large revolver and the poisoned
dagger. In one corner of the room were
lot of small tin cases about ~ inches by
4, which were all empty. There was a large
tin can, full of some substance, which has
not yet been analysed. Several cast iron
pipes about four inches in length were also
found, and small quantity of dynamite.
At Chelbowa's house Inspector Bonfield
found four packages of dynamite containing
eight sticks, each about ten inches in length,
a Illuminating cap, and a loaded bomb.
These were taken to Deering street, and with
the stuff seized at Hronek's house were sent
to the Central station. The officers were
greatly disappointed at the small quantity
of dynamite found in Hronek's house, as they
had been informed that he had large stock
on hand. It lis supposed that there is a lot
more either buried in the yard OF hidden in
some nook in the house. A further search
will be instituted. -.
