yer, B. c., Oct. 16.
Camille Frederic Remy, alias Arme
Harmond, an alleged murdered of Lew.
istOwn, Mont, was arrested here to-
day on telegraphic description. The
arresting officers had hard struggle
with the prisoner, who tried to get his
revolver. The prisoner says his name
is Remy, but refused to make any
other statement. He is Partisan, well
dressed and of good appearance"
It is evident the word "Lewistown'
is an error, the intention being to say
Lewis and Clark county"
Chase a Lonk One.
If the man arrested is the one want
ed, the successful end of the chase re
fleets credit to those engaged in it
Oliver was killed Sept. %, mile an(
i half north of Wolf Greek, and it IVA
two weeks later before it was known
and the body found by the sheriff.
The murdered had a start of twt
weeks. Sheriff Scharrenbroich trailet
him surely to the vicinity of Silver
where he was two days after the mur
derer. From that point to Kalispell
the movements of the murdeder wer,
not such as could be relied upon.
Somewhere north of Kalispell tn,
man disposed of the wagon in whicl
he was travelling, and Oct. 8 he crosses
into Canada, via Gateway, according
to the best information obtainable b,
the sheriff before he left Helena.
It is the opinion of the local officer
that after getting across the line tn
Frenchman found he was being trail
ed, and he took the Canadian Pacifl
found out after the sheriff arrived a
Alberta, and his description was wire
to Vancouver, where the arrest wa
made.
May Have to Get Papers.
Nelson, where Sheriff Scharrer
broich was when he sent his telegram
is on branch that runs up from Spt
kane. Under Sheriff Callahan wi
send the Oregon boot this morning an
it should reach Nelson Thursday.
1t is quite trip from Nelson t
Y Vancouver, and it will take some tim
. for the sheriff to make the trip b.
j, tween the points. 1t may be necessar
:. for him before he can bring his pri
I oner back to get extradition papers, s
. just when he will get home is que
a tion.
1t is supposed that w. M. Olive
father of the murdered boy, and w.
: Oliver, a brother, are both with th
e sheriff.
