Made an Important Capture.
Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Pittston, May 1.-THE police of this
city believe they have located the
thieves who robbed Mrs Flanigan's
Valley house, at the Pittston Junction,
last week. On Friday, Edward Wells,
young man employed on Evans Bros.
CoXton farm, and Edward Barrett, who
has been employed on the Valley road,
having come here from st. Louis to
take the place of striking railroaders
several years ago, were arrested on
suspicion. Wells was seen with a wine
bottle similar to those stolen from the
hotel He explained his possession Of
the bottle by saying he found ii. The
two men were given a hearing before
Alderman LOTUS, and Wells was COM
mitted to Jail, while Barrett was dis
charged.
Today Wells made confession be-
fore Chief LOTUS, Alderman Lotus,
Mrs. Flanagan and Thomas W. Evans.
He says Barrett gave him the bottle of
wine and said he (Barrett) and smother
man had robbed the Valley house, and
told him to keep mum. The police are
inclined to believe Wells story. Bar
rett was re-arrested today and COM
mitted to Jail. The police are now
searching for the other man mentioned
in the confession.

COLORADO MEN COMING.
Have Heard Favosably Of the Sumptsr Dis
triet for Months Past.

H. N. Barnett, Of Denver, a Colorado
mining man Of long experience, arrived In
Sumpter this week. He has not had time
to examine the district, but says that from
what he has learned from men In whose
Judgment he has confidence, there Is no
question but what this Is destined to be a
great gold mining country.
Mr.. Barnett brings cheerful intelligence
from Colorado. He says that mining
men there have heard much favorable
comment on the Sumpter district during
recent months, and that many will come
here during the present season. They
would be now arriving daily, were II not
for the fact that they are not posted on
conditions existing here; they have no
idea that the season Is so far advanced,
that snow has PRACTICAL all disappeared
and that the hills are already inviting
prospectors to begin operations.
The district needs nothing so much this
season as II does the presence Of few
hundred experienced prospectors and
miners. All such who have examined the
surrounding country unite In declaring
that It Is a mineral wonder. They are
also unanimous in declaring that It has
not been intelligently prospected. Men
from Colorado and Montana know this,
their business, and will find the rich hid.
den treasures. And they are coming to
accomplish that very purpose.
