is WANTED IN ENGLAND FRANCE And VARIOUS CITIES OF THE UNITED
STATES TURED after AN EXCITING CHASE THROUGH The STREETS
BY OFFICER MORAN AND LODGED IN CITY JAIL TO ROB-
BC u S. MAILS IN SEATTLE ALSO TO The THEFT OF 100000 FROM
KANSAS CITY NATIONAL BANK PURSUED over TWO CONTINENTS

Albert E. Bell, alias James E. Butler,
wanted by the governments of England,
France and the United States for robbery
of the mails. and by the state of Kansas
for defrauding the Kansas City National
bank of 100000 last April, was landed
behind the bars of the Tacoma prison last
night by Chief Fackler.
Bell was located in lodging house on
Pacific avenue, near Fifteenth street,
about o'clock last evening. In the room
with him was pal, who gives the name
of G. A. Schribner.
When confronted by Officer Moran,
Scmibner surrendered, but Bell succeeded
in making his escape.
Officer Moran turned Schribner over to
a bystander and gave chase.
II proved to be exciting.
Bell came north on Pacific avenue to
Thirteenth street, then turned east to A
street, and then north again, with Moran
close at his heels and gaining rapidly.
As Bell passed the Interurban depot, he
turned and ran directly for a small stable
that stands just north of the Northern
Pacific Headquarters building. He was so
closely pressed here that he jumped over
the embankment. 1t is fully 200 feet
down this bank and it is almost perpen-
dicular.
This fact, however, did not daunt Officer
Moran, and he promptly jumped over after
his man.
Bell succeeded in gaining little time
by this maneuver, however, and started
to run north along the railroad tracks
and the waterfront.
When he neared the electric coal bunk
ers the pursuing officer was close behind
and would have been upon him in am
other moment had he not slipped and fell
to the ground.
Before the officer could rise to his feet,
Bell had turned and started for town
again.
The fugitive succeeded in getting into
the Government warehouse without the
officer seeing him. He went half way
down the warehouse, when he noticed that
all of the doors on that end were closed.
Thinking that he was in trap, he
turned and went to the door again.
The doors were merely latched on the
inside. and had he not turned back he
might have made his escape.
When he arrived at the door he saw the
officer coming, and turned and ran for
Ihe other end of the warehouse, closely
followed by the officer, who had drawn
us revolver and called to him 10 halt
When Bell first entered the warehouse
e was noticed by Watchman Calhoun,

who knew of his record have been salts
fed that their perpetrator was none other
than the famous Bell.
II is known that he worked grcar
many deals OF similar nature to the one
perpetrated in Seattle in England and
France and he left those countries with
the officers Of the law anxiopsly desiring
his capture.

Resolved, that in the death of DR.. j. G.

selor, faithful officer, loyal friend.
For nearly sixty years Dr. Wellington
was connected with the National Bank
of Middlebury, during thirty-seven of
which he was in active service the bal
ance of the time being director and vice
president Here he spent the best
energies of his long life in his devotion
to the banks welfare, and to the institu-

AS man, the doctor was modest and
unassuming; courtly, staunch and cour-
ageous; he was the soul of integrity, and
furnished withal an example of the
of the highest type of the gentleman of
the old school,
We shall miss his coming and going,
