We have repeatedly explained that the

than the imposition Of the tax on oleomar-

A NOTED ROBBER.
Arrest Of the Leader Of the Glen
dale Train Thieves.
HE Is AN OLD TIME HIGHwAYMAN,

Having "Done Time" for Robbing
the American Express Company of
Package Containing $780, 900 in
1854 Female Acoomplice Also
in Custody.
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 8t.-The leader of the
gang who robbed the Adams express
messenger, Mulrennan, on the Frisco
road, at Glendale, suburb of st. Louis,
on the night of Nov. 80. is under arrest.
A female accomplice is also in custody,
and the capture of the other robber
seems to be but matter Of time. The
leader of the gang turns out to be Adel-
bert ID. Sly, noted convict from the
Missouri penitentiary.
The latest series Of exploits by Sly and
his fellow bandits began with the rob-
berry of the street car barns at Omaha in
October, in which they used dynamite
and secured large amount of money.
They cominitted robbery on the Met
ropolitan street barns in Kansas City in
the same month and then came the rob-
berry of the Pacific Express company on
the Missouri Pacific railroad near Omaha
on the night of Nov. 4, and the Alneri-
can Express company robbery near
Western Union Junction, Wis, on the
night of Nov. 12. In all of these rob-
berries Sly figured as leader, and their
engine OF war almost invariably was dyn-
amite.
His $4,000 steal.
After the robbery at Western Union
Junction William A. Pinkerton found
out that Sly, in 1888, while acting as
driver for the American Express COM
pany at St. Joseph, Mo-, defaulted with
a package containing $4,000. At that
time, after long search, Sly was ap-
pretended in California by the Pinker-
tons. He was returned to Missouri and
sentenced to seven years In the Missouri
penitentiary at jefferson City. On COM
ing out it was learned Sly became asso-
ciated with gang of rough burglars,
who made their headquarters around
Kansas City and Omaha.
On the theory that Sly was possibly
concerned in the robbery at Western
Union junction, the Pinkertons quietly
began an investigation towards locat-
ing Sly and traced him to st.
Louis few days previous TO the Glen
dale robbery ON the Frisco road. The
case against him was clearly traced, and
he stands chance of another long term.
Sly is well known in the crooked fra
ternity as Bert Sly, is native of Wis
consin; was born and raised in Oshkosh.
After committing the express robbery in
ST. Joseph, for which he was sent to the
penitentiary in 1884, his family moved
to st. Joe, Mo-, where they now reside.
Since his release from the penitentiary
in Missouri he has been twice is custody
In st. Joe, once for highway robbery
and once for burglary.
