Justice OF the Peace 81 Seattle Precinct,
King county. Wash
In order that no inqulsitlve fellow might
get a peep at the precious document ii was
locked up I'm a safe: not one like those In
the coal office OF the oregon improvement
Company or that one out on McClaire
street, but the latest and most approved
style.
In the meantime trusted emissaries had
been hunting around TO get straight
tip on Smiths whereabouts. The trouble
sone point IN the matter was that Smith,
according 20 reports. had told some people
he was going TO Rossiand and others that
ne was going TO Texada- Finally Nc
Elroy came 20 the conclusion that IL
Smith was in British Columbia he must
receive mail from Seattle This trail was
followed. with the result that apparently
authentic information was received locat-
ing Smith at Gibson's Landing. which is
on Howe's sound or the Fraser river.
Smith. as a matter OF fact. made no effort
10 keep secret the fact that he was going
TO British Columbia.
Tuesday night Mr.. McEiroy was in con-
sul.atlon with Chief Of Police Reed and
Detective Cudlhee. He desired that one
or the other make the trip TO bring Smith
hack The duties OF the police az city ON
GERS caused this plan 20 be given M.
Deputy Sheriff A. G. Lane was then
called in The warrant was placed In his
hands. and according 20 his Instructions
he wa. to proceed forthwith TO British
Columbia and get Smith. He understood
that IL the object OF his mission became
known there would be blood on the moon.
Ata:iS O'Clock Wednesday morning Lane
left FOR Vancouver II. c. on the Great
Northern train. In the evening Prosecut-
ing Attorney McEiroy teiegraphsd him al
Vancouver all the information he had been
able to ascertain. Lane succeeded In Sc
curing all papers necessary without be-
tray!ng his trust. and thus armed proceed
cd 70 Glbson's Landing on chartered
steamer lie left Vancouver at midHlght
"Wednesday. and the next thing that was
heard % him was yesterday afternoon
when he announced the successful terms-
nation OF MS mission by wire to Mr.. Nc
rlroy. lie stated that Smith was cesirous
OF returning TO Seattle 10 meet the
charges. In closing re said that Smith
aud he would leave Vancouver this morn
ing and srrivs 81 Is o'clock on the Great
Northern train
Mr. McElroy had hardly read bis tsle-
gram when he was called up by Attorney
W. II. Gay.
SAY. what hsvs you got Smith arrested
for asked Gay.
Forgery" replied MeElroy. Then Cay
explained that he had just received a dis
patch from Smith telling 90 his arrest aaa
nlaclns his case In his hands. Mr.. Gay
