The Bogart burglary, without a doubt
the nearest approach to the real thing
ever accomplished hereabouts, will re-
suit in the prosecution in this city of
the three widely-known professional
crooks, who were arrested in Chicago
Friday, and the facts furthermore tend
to show that it was from a local source
that the capture was directed and
brought about

rapid and decisive. First came the in
telligence that Garrett Bogart and De-
tective Moir had arrived in Chicago;
Immediately after this came the infor-
nation that the property recovered had
been identified; the morning mail
brought list of the booty recovered;
the description tailed with the jew
elry taken from the Bogart home, and
finally Desk Sergeant Robert A. Deter
was ordered to secure requisition pa
pers from Harrisburg and proceed at
once to Chicago. He will leave on an
early morning train today.
The description of the property re-
covered was addressed to Chief of
Police Frank Robling.

AFTER THE FIRE FIEND.
Good Description Has Been Obtained OF
the DunmOre Incendiary-He Did
His Work Well.

The Dunmore police and insurance
men are on an active hunt for the
incenuiary who early yesterday morn
ing caused the destruction of the car
pcnter shop and barn owned by Com
tractCr Frank Z. Connolly on Electric
avenue and attempted to burn the
dwelling occupied by Valentine Bern
hardt and family. The Iirc vas eXclu-
sively reported in yesterday Tribune.
The man was seen by several persons
and his arrest is assured if he remains
in this vicinity.
1T was learned yesterday that after
failing to burn the Bsrnhardt house
with oil-soaked rags placed in the cell
lar, the fiend waited nearly twenty mi
nutes and returned and kindled a fire
under q. bay window. The first at
tempt had been early discovered by the
family but the second visit of the in
cendiary was not learned until after
the Wind had eXtinguished the bay
window tire. Then it was that Bern
hardt procured a loaded revolver and
sat in an open second-story window
waiting for a shot at the marauder
who could be heard moving among the
trees.
Where the blaze started in Contrac-
tor Connolly's shop is not known. The
building is shielded from view from the
Bernhardt building by foliage. When
the carpenter shop fire was discovered
Mr.. Connolly and a few others noticed
a. man standing with his back against
a nearby building. He helped remove
a. small quantity Of lumber from the
shop and then disappeared.
Tic stranger was about 80 years old,
dark comuleXioned and had a shortly
cropped black moustache. lie was
slim in build and was ordinarily,
though comfortably dressed in a brown
suit, calico shirt and soft felt hat.
Only $500 insurance was carried on
the two Connolly properties which were
totally DESTROYED

BUNCoERs ABROAD: BEWARE

1t Is the trick of the Organized De-
mocracy this fan to make false
charges against Republican methods,
raise a big dust hire Republican mall
contents to organize Republican bolts
and then coax individual Republicans
to desert their party on the represent
tation that party ties needn't count
for anything in an off year" BY this
trick, if it shall work, the Bryanites
will get a foothold for a hopeful fight
in national campaigns, and make just
so much more trouble for Mckinley,
the Republican congress and the cause
of sound money.
You now see through this trick. Are
you going TO let it work?

A SCRANTON CROOK.
1t was reported that O'Neil betrayed
his pals to the police and brought about
their arrest. He is said to hail from
this city. This statement is contra
dicted by information from excellent
authority received by The Tribune and
given here. One of the numerous de-
tectives employed on the case con-
ceived the idea of visiting the several
express offices in this city.
This was done with the discovery
that a mysterious package had beer
shipped from here to New York city a
few days after the burglary. 1t is said
that through this discovery the arrest
of the three men were made. The
package was traced from New York tc
Chicago, and when "Sheeney Joe" and
his compatriots entered the National
Express office there last Friday they
were arrested by the detectives
