ROBBED FREIGHT CARS
One of the Gang in the Hands of
the Officers.
DID SOME CLEVER WORK
Threw the Freight Out While the Trains
Were ~Running-It Was n Long
Time Before a Clue Was
Found.

Deputy Sheriff II. s. Davis of Tacoma,
Pierce county. Wash. arrived in the
city yesterday en- route home to Ia
coma from Kansas City. having in Gus
tody Job Post. a young man wanted
at Tacoma for robbing freight cars of
the Northern Pacific railroad. Post
was a member OF a gang whose meth
DDS Of operation were unique, to say the
least. Ed Ryan. young Posts step
father. and John and Tom Ryan. his
brothers. were the others members Of
the gang.
Their method of working was this:
One or more members of the gang
would board a freight train running
from Tacoma TO Seattle. or go up the
main line to Orting and board a freight
train bound for Tacoma or Seattle. and
while the train was under way between
stations would attach a rope ladder to
the footway on top OF a car and go
down over the side, break the seal and
get into h car. Then they would
throw out boxes OF freight. which would
be picked up by the other members of
the gang and X to a place Of rem
devious TO be subsequently, sold. After
'oflpitlint the JOD " Out tue
freight the ones doing the work woul
climb back upon the car and drop of
when approaching a station. AS the
gang operated entirely at night. they
carried on their thieving for "A long
time without being discovered and the
business became very profitable.
The railroad officials put the matter
in the hands OF Thiel's Detective agency
after they had exhausted all their own
resources i'm endeavoring to discover
how so much freight came to be miss
ing and eventually the scheme was un-
earthed, but no Don han the gang
became aware that IL was unsafe TO do
business any longer and made good
their opportunity to get out of the coun-
try. BY locating the fence I'm Seattle
where the stolen property was sold. the
detectives learned the identity of the
robbers and their trail was taken up.
Young Post vas located in Kansas City
and arrested by the Pinkertons some
days ago. The Pierce county authori-
ties were notified and Deputy Sheriff
Davis went to Kansas City for the pris-
Butte and was here for some time up
to about four months ago. He claims
to have worked for O~ppenheimer & Co,
and is known to quite a number of peo-
pie here.
Deputy Sheriff Davis arrived with his
prisoner owe the Short Line in the
afternoon and lodged him in the city
jail until time to take the ~westbound
Northern Pacific train this morning,
when he continued his journey.

President J. r. Walker Of the Alice
Mining company. who has been looking
over the properties at Walkerville for
a couple of days. returned to his home
I'm Salt Lake yesterday. accompanied
by H.. w. Lawrence. a director in the
company. Mr.. Walker came up merely
TO make one of his occasional inspec-
tons Of the mines and mills, and IL is
believed by the residents on the "hill'
that no change In operations will re-
suit from his latest visit. The Alice and
Blue Wing mines are being worked
successfully. a fine body of ore being
exposed in the latter mine. which is
situated in the heart Of the city OF
Walkerville. The only obstacle in the
way of more extensive operations in the
mines is the low price OF silver. Ev-
erything Is i'm first-class shape, and
when silver goes up more ore will go up
the shafts OF the Alice company, for
there's plenty of 1t to he had.

LIVING OVER THE OLD DAYS.
SUICIDE FOLLOWS MURDER.
Another Terrible Chapter in the
Womert Tragedy.

Lancaster, Pa, Aug. 49, Mrs Vcm-
ert, wife of Emanuel Womert, the Ak
ron farmer who was killed, it is al
legged by burglars on Saturday night,
was missed from the house about l
o'clock last night and as she had been
heard to threaten 10 take her life sew
erdl times during the day, a diligent
search was at once instituted. A
bloodhound was secured and put on her
tracks, but after going a short dis
tance towards the Cocalico creek, lost
the track. The searchers took the hint
ana after several hours work found
her body in the creek. At first it was
supposed thac implication in her hus-
bands death was the cause Of the sui
eide, but the general opinion among
the villagers is that the woman was
innocent and WAS partly crazed by the
terrible tragedy.
Another sensation followed the con-
clusion of tire inquest on the woman.
when William Habecker, who boa arded
with the Womerts, vas arrested on the
charge of conspiring to murder Wom-
ert. Habecker and Womerts 17-year-
old daughter, Ella, wished to get mar
ried, but it ia said could not get the
consent of Womelt Habecker appears
to be stupid kind of a fellow and
before mis- arrest snid that if he was
in any way charged with being impli-
Gated in the killing Of Womert, he
| would take his own life. The general
impression among the residents in the
neighborhood is that the daughter
| knows more about the tragedy than
any one else, and 1t is very probable
that hes arrest will follow,

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.

New York, Aug. 16.-There was still
further advance in the price of stocks
al along the line today and st II fur
ther increase in the number of shares
sold during the day. The number of
different stocks traded in were also
larger, rejecting the broadening in
terest in the market. The bears en-
deavored to take advantage of q profit
taking movement by an onslaught up
on Manhattan and Sugar at the OPEN
ing, hoping that the recent persistent
weakness of these stocks would make
them vulnerable and effective in break
ing prices. But the bulls at the same
time lifted the Northern Pacific stocks
point each at the opening and mark
ed up Rubber Preferred AZ points. The
outside demand of stocks all through
the list was so active and varied as to
lend ample support for continued prof
it-taking by the bull clique. The bears
were soon routed and Manhattan and
Sugar moved upwards along with the
general list. The total sales were 706,-
900 shares.
Southern railroads and some of the
western roads affiliated with trans
continental systems showed notable
strength. There was also marked ac-
t!vity and strength in long list Of in
dustrials. Tobacco, Peoples Gas, Lead,
Tennessee Coal and Iron and the Rub
ber stocks being especially conspicu-
Gus. There were sharp reactions in
most of these on profit-taking, but they
rallied again before the close. The
close was firm and active with only a
little below the best and at a material
ly higher level of prices throughout.

The regiment had been placed here as
a garrison to preserve order and pro-
tccg property.
There has been firing of arms iu-
side of the town by members of this
regiment without orders, so far as
known; some of the men have indulg-
ed in liquor until they have verged
uron acts OF license and disorder; the
inhabitants in some quarters, have
alleged loss Of property by force and
intimidation end there has grown up a
feeling Df upeasiness concerning them,
ii rot % alarm.
General Shafter, has therefore or
dered this regiment into the hills,
where discipline can be more severely
maintained.
In place Of the Second volunteer
inIaune regiment General Shafter has
ordered into the city the Eighth Illi-
nois volunteer regiment of colored
troops in whose sobriety and discipline
he has confidence and of whose sturdy y
enforcement Of order no doubt is felt
by those in command.
