ROBBER
CAUGHT !
He Got Away With Nearly Four Hun
dred Dollars.
WAS TRACED TO BROWNSVILLE
When Searched After Arrest the Thief
claimed to Have Earned the Two
Hundred and Fifty Dollars
Found on His Person
Held For Trial.

Peter Stepalaitis, poorly dressed, short,
stoOp. p.shouldered, and anything but inteli-
gent looking Lithuanian was committed to
the county Jail Saturday night by Justice
Shoemaker in default of 81 900 bail, on a
charge of robbery. What the prisoner lacks
in intelligence he evidently makes up in
criminal craftiness, for he succeeded in max
ing good haul in Mahanoy City and sue
Cessfully eluded arrest for a week, despite
| the fact that officers trailed him closely for
| that time.
The complainant was John Brazukas,
boarding house keeper of Mahanoy City, who
said that the prisoner was bOarder in his
house. During the early morning hours of
Oct. nth the prisoner left the house under
the pretext that he was i'll and intended
seeking relief. He did not return and it was
subsequently found that he had broken open
Brazukas trunk, from which he secured 1870
in cash and clothing valued at four dollars
Stepulaitis was traced to VIM. Penn, and
then to this town. On Friday it was learned
that he had ordered suit of clothes at
tailor shop on East Centre street, and paid
for the clothes in advance. He was to have
called for the suit Saturday night The shop
was watched by officers all day Saturday and
during the night, but the man failed to show
up. Another man called for the suit, but it
was not ready for delivery and the messenger
was told to call again.
Shortly before midnight Saturday Chief
Burgess Tabor and Constable Phillips re-
ceived a tip that caused them to visit Browns
| vile and in passing house at that place
they saw man who proved to be Stepulaits
standing at the door. They arrested him and
he was arraigned before Justice Shoemaker
Stepulaitis protested innocence He was
searched and two pOcketbOoks containing in
all S24O 80 were taken from his person. He
5 insisted that he had earned the money by
: working in the mines. The prosecutor ident-
fed him Several men from Gilberton were
also present and identified the prisoner as a
} man who had boarded in their respective
boarding houses at different times and
robbed them. but the amounts were so small
they did not wish to bother with suits
After some pareying the prisoner said he
would surrender the money found on his
person to the prosecutor if the suit would be
dropped. Justice Shoemaker said that could
not be done, but that if the prisoner was
satisfied the money would be returned to the
owner. Stepuaitis was not satisfied with
the proposition. He reiterated that he had
not stolen the money and that he had saved
it from earnings in the mines. When asked
why he had offered to return it he said he
had done so because it would be cheaper to
lose the money than go to the expense Of at
tending court to prove his innocence. This
story was too fshy for the Justice and he
promptly closed the hearing and committed
the prisoner. The money recovered has been
' deposited with the court pending the trial,

eighty short of the first days sale last year.

A telegram was received last night by Mrs.
Elizabeth Greaber of Ashland, from her
sons, Joseph and Jacob Greaber of Shamo-
kin, stating that they had received a tele-
gram from Seattle, Washington, announcing
that their brother, John, had been drowned
in the Lewes river, in the Klodike. The de-
ceased left Ashland last spring in company
with his cousin, Nicholas Graeber who went
on prospecting expedition to the gold
fields. A letter received from them
on Aug. 24th, last, stated that the party had
established camp at Dawson City and in
tended remaining there for the winter. The
presumption is that Greaber was drowned
while prospecting on the river. The acci-
dent occurred about month ago. 1t took
three weeks to get the news from Dawson
City to Seattle. The deceased and his party
had not been successful in their expedition
up to the time the last letter was received.
