THE CAPTURE OF BRADY
Further Particulars Of the Work Of the
Notorious BRADY Gana."


Notorious BRADY Gang
Special to Times-Republican.
Britt, Dec. T.-Brady, the notorious
thief and ring leader of what is known
as the BRADY Gang" was caught
Tuesday night by Nightwatch Black
and Marshal Vescelius in the act of
stealing three tubs OF butter from the
creamery here and is now in the city
jail awaiting trial. which will take
place this afternoon. For the past ten
years this gang has been making petty
thefts around Britt, but 1t has always
been hard to prove, with one exception,
when Brady was caught and served a
short term in prison several years ago.
The actual theft was committed on
the night of Dec. IA. and next morning
Mr.. McNary manager of the creamery,
missed three tubs of butter weighing
together $50 pounds. A prompt search
was made for them and two of them
we're located near the depot. Mr.. Nc
Nary thereupon substituted two emp
ty tubs for the ones filled with butter
and instructed Black and Vescelius to
watch for the thief with guns. AT
about 10 o'clock last night. as the
freight was pulling in, Brady was
caught in the act OF carrying one OF
the tubs to the train and was immed-
lately covered with two guns, arrest
rested and placed In Jail.
There Is supposed to be about five
men in this gang. but only the ring
leader was caught. On account of
Brady having served a previous term
in prison he will likely be sent up for
a number of years. Much credit is due
TO vescelius. Black and Mr.. McNary.
for their shrewdness.
