train-robbery near Reeds station.
About a week ago an ex-convict, named
Robert Carter, alias Gentleman Bob"
called on Deputy Sheriff Coburn and told
him Brady was concealed in his cabin,
near Mokelumne Hill, and that he would
deliver the fugitive into the hands of the
officer provided he would pay transporta-
ton to the place and guarantee him a por-
ton of the reward. Both Deputy Coburn
and Sheriff White were inclined TO dis
credit Carriers statement, but with visions
of the $15,500 reward floating before his
eyes, Deputy league offered to undertake
the trip and started in company with the
.ex-convict.
At Sacramento they were joined by a
railroad detective, to whom league had |
wired to accompany them and assist in the !
capture. Carter Immediately began to
grow restless and when Jackson was
reached demanded that league leave the
railroad employee behind, saying that the |
latter was known at Mokelumne Hill and |
that Brady would get word of the affair |
and escape.
league consented to this arrangement, |
but secretly instructed the officer to follow !
them closely, fearing that Carter pedi- |
tated mischief. The deputy and his COM
panion had left Jackson but a short time !
when the latter became abusive and evil |
IDENTIFY wanted to pick quarrel.
Fearing danger league finally held him !
up at the point of his revolver and kept
him in custody until the railroad detective
came up. Carter then refused to go on
and the two railroad men went ahead to
Mokelumne, and after a consultation with
the officers there concluded that they had
been led on a wild-goose chase, and that
carriers only object was to get transporta-
ton to Mokelumne and the few dollars he
had borrowed en- route.
On returning to jackson on their way
home they found that Carter had been in
duIg1ng In great deal of hilarity at their
expense, and explaining to the townspeo-
pie how he had hoodwinked two smart de-
tectives.
The officers intimated that they took
what satisfaction they could get by thrash
ing Carter.
Burglars at Work.
Burglars made big haul in Mark Ever
son S hardware-store at 1016 Broadway
some time during the early hours of yes
terday morning.
An officer discovered the door of the |
place ajar about daylight and sent for the !
proprietor, when it was found that thieves |
had carefully selected a quantity of expen- |
slye goods and made away with them |
The lock had not been tempered with and |
the supposition is that the door was either |
lett unlocked or had been opened with a
skeleton key. Among the articles taken /
were couple OF dozen fine revolv5rs,
about the same number of high-grade
razors and several dozen pocket-knives |
The loss will foot up 5000. The burglars |
left no clew behind them.
The same store was found open by |
Special Officer Smith several days ago, and |
II is now thought that burglars were at
work on that occasion but were frightened
away before stealing anything.
Failed to Provide.
R. NJ. Dean, who for several years was
employed in the Oakland Iron Works was |
arrested at the Risdon Iron Works in San |
Francisco yesterday on complaint sworn |
out by his wife, who charges him with |
failure to provide for his minor children. |
Dean, who appears to be a hard working !
young man, says that he separated from
his Wife some time ago because they could |
not get along together, and that he has at |
all times been willing to provide for the |
children II he could have the educating of |
them. He states that he fears that his wife |
will not make proper use of any money he |
might lend her for their support, and has. |
therefore, refused to give her funds for !
that purpose.
Disbanded at Last.
The cooperative laundry OF the Tndus-
trial Army, the last frail bond that held |
the remnants of General Kelley's followers |
together, has closed its doors, and the Or |
ganization is now but name By dint of |
borrowing materials and getting credit for |
rent and provender the industrials kept |
the institution going for time. but when
the news came that General Kelley had
gone back to his old trade of setting tyDe |
the shock was too much, and they silently |
stole away, leaving a few leaky tubs and |
damaged wringers to satisfy the $25 they
owed the landlord for rent
