NEWS OF Los ANGELES.
Police EIated Over the Capture
of Fred w. Jones at
Spokane.
From His Resort the Famous Tunnel
Was Dug to the First
National Bank.
Los ANGELES OFFICE OF THE CALL,
328 SOUTH BROADWAY.
Los ANGELES. CAL, ,NAug. q. J

Los ANGELES, GAL, Aug- II.
The Police Department OF this city is
in high feather over the reported arrest of
one Fred w. Jones at Spokane, Wash.
Jones is the gentleman who conducted the
Spokane" saloon at 112 Commercial
street, this city, which was the blind
through which the famous tunnel was
dug to the basement of the First National
Bank on Main street in June last. This
work has been pronounced the most re-
markable and daring in the annals of at
tempted crimes in this State. 1t had for
its object the blowing up of the bank vault
and the destruction of thousands of dol
lars worth OF property. 1t took weeks
to accomplish the work, and the burglars,
without interruption, found at last that
nothing could be done without detection,
ana they voluntarily quit the job and left
Los Angeles without leaving a shadow or
a trace as to their identity. The Jones
arrest is the first one of any individual
supposed to have had anything to do with
the tunnel scheme, and it is confidently
predicted that through this capture the
whole story will be divuIged Detective
Auble left here last night for Sacramento,
where he will secure the necessary requi-
sition papers to get possession of Jones.
