Tacoma Ledger Editorial, June2
Ono fact Tacoma may as well wake up to at
once, and that is that her prosperity has SO far
excited the envy of some people that means not
heretofore resorted TO are being used to her in
jury. Evidence OF this, the one side, is
found in the conduct of some representatives
OF Seattle on the Multnomah yesterday. There
is similar evidence that Portland is working
by quite "a questionable means.
For some time past visitors coming here from
that direction have expressed surprise at the
evidences of prosperity they have found, in view
OF the fact that they had been told repeatedly ut
Portland that Tacoma had utterly collapsed
Members of the late Presbyterian assembly
heard much of this talk, and some OF them who
had been here and knew better were quite dis
gusted at II, because, as good churchmcn. they
hated lying The visit OF the editors has also
brought to light more of this business On
Saturday. sunday and Monday it was found to
be impossible to get message to Tacoma's rcn-
resentative on the train in spite of everything
that could be done The messages reached
Portland, but could lie got no further, although
other messages from there were delivered on the
train all along the route, as We now know

Located at Vancouver and En-
ticed Over the Line by
Detectives

Horace Greeley Robinson, young
namesake and came West, to avoid APP
prehension for the crime of grand
larceny, was sent East in the custody
of officers on the Great Northern pas
senger train yesterday afternoon upon
requisition received from Governor
Merriam. The crime for which young
Robinson is wanted was committed
while he was in the employ of the gen.
eral manager of the Northern Pacific
railroad in st. Paul, the larceny of 100
round trip tickets, aggregating in value
over $4,000. He Immediately sought
refuge in flight. Pinkerton detectives
were put on the trail, and the fugitive
was located in Vancouver little over
week ago by J. c. McGinn, of st.
Paul, superintendent of Pinkertons
National Detective agency. To avoid
the delay and Inconvenience of
extraditing Robinson, clever scheme
was devised to entice him over the
border. Mcclure sent to the Portland
agency for another detective who sue
ceeded in insinuating himself into
Robinson's confidence. He professed
to be a doctor and proposed to the
fugitive to come to Fairhaven and en-
bark in the lrug business, if a suitable
opening could be found. They ar
rived in this city Wednesday and reg
istered at The Fairhaven, the detective
writing his name Dr. G.. Nj. Cox
Soon after their arrival here McGinn
showed up and told the young man
that he was in the tolls and gave him
the choice of being turned over to the
tender keeping of the sheriff or remain
ing quietly with him until the arrival
Of the requisition. He preferred The
Fairhaven to the Hotel DeLorimier
and remained there until yesterday.
Yesterday morning another PinkertOn
detective arrived from Portland with
the requisition and Robinson was
placed under arrest by Deputy Sheriff
Eastabrook.
