FIVE CATTLE THIEVES.


Arrested at Spokane and the Gang
Broken Up.
SPOKANE FALLS, Jan. Especial. l-One
of the most extensive cattle stealing rings
ever organized in the west was broken up
by the arrest of five members of the gang
near this city to-day. They are the Van
Cleve brothers, Jack Comfy. A. August and
George Mills. Their scheme was one of the
boldest and most gigantic Of its kind ever
operated in the Pacific northwest. More
than $4,000 worth of cattle have been sto-
len and slaughtered before the owners had
time to identify them. The cattle have
been stolen from every part of the county,
and in many instances have been
driven as far as sixty miles. Ger
tain members of the band were
rounders or rustlers. Their part in the
thievery was to drive tho cattle to the
slaughter house on Hangman creek. where
tho animals were quickly butchered and the
carcasses brought to a meat market in the
city. Some of the hides were buried and
some were burned. Detectives have been
watching the slaughter house on Hangmsn
creek every night for the past week. Last
night Sheriff Pugh and posse spent the
night i'll hiding close by. During the night
a band of cattle WAS driven in. and at day
light this morning the sherif's posse sur
prised three members Of the gang while
slaughtering the beeves and took them
into custody before they could get TO
their guns. The Van Cleve brothers
were arrested i'll town this afternoon
by ex-Chief of Police doe. Warren. Deputy
Sheriff Pugh was shot in the leg this after
noon by John Miles, another OF the gang.
Pugh called at Miles house near Spangle,
about three o'clock and was just in time to
see John Miles and John Matthews run out
of the back door and make for the woods.
he started in pursuit, when they turned
and opened fire with their revolvers. One
shot took effect. causing n slight wound in
the leg. Pugh returned the fire, wounding
both men, but they managed to escape to
the woods. Sheriff Pugh left here tonight
with a posse to assist his brother in the
capture of the two men.
