Kansas City, Mo-, Oct. 2O.-Arthur
G. Roberts was arrested at Detroit last
night on the accusation of having
robbed the George r. Barse Commits
sion company in cattle swindle. The
arrest was made by Pinkerton detect
i've, who started to Kansas City with his
prisoner during the night to avoid a
habeas corpus proceeding. Roberts
was involved in transactions that

about $50, 900, but was suspected in
time for most of the firms to save them
selves.
In little town near Fort Worth,
Tex, Roberts was married about a
month ago, according to the detective,
but Roberts did not feel safe and went
to Denver, then to Washington and
Oregon and soon afterward to Van

i've was not far behind and when
Roberts crossed Canada to Ontario
the detective was almost at his
heels. Yesterday the detective found
him in Detroit, living at hotel.

The departure of the Iowas ends one
of the most remarkable features of the
war, whether it be considered in the
light of the irreproachable conduct of
the great army of Americans passing
through or in that of the patriotic res
O1ution of the little American COM
munity here, which has in every posi-
BILE way ministered to their needs. 1t
has keen a gigantic task for the hand
full of Americans here to iced an army
of IL, 600, to organize for them an ex-
tensive bureau of information, to guard
them against imposition, to care for all
the sick, even to the extent of taking
them into their homes, to furnish free
baths, to provide delightful headquar-
ters and in every way to remind them
that they were among friends and
countrymen.
Of course the ladies of the colony
have borne the brunt of the work while
the men have furnished the means and
that most iberaly. All this has been
done, too, with national pride which
would not permit the acceptance of
foreign aid, though freely proffered.
Seldom has such work been better
done, and it may be added seldom more
freely appreciated and rewarded.
