Sunday afternoon Central railroad po-
liceman Brelsford. Policeman Rex, Detec-
tive Lentz and s. F. Behler arrested gang
of six burglars near Nesquehoning. They
had in their possession jewelry and other
rNro atA
They gave their names as William White,
Thomas Ryan, Michael Patterson, Thomas |
Conway and Henry Marsh and all have the I
appearance of being professional burglars, !
being supplied With tools and revolyers. |
They were in Fort Levan over Sunday |
Monday the were given hearing at Free
land and are now in Jail at Wilkesbarre. |
When caught the men were asleep which |
probably prevented bloodshed. S. F. |
Behler particularly deserves credit in the |
ticipation in an arrest of their kind but he
stood the ordeal successfully showing that
he had the metal of ''stayer'' and the
courage of good Democrat.
