$4,000 Reward Already on the
Head of Alleged G. P. r.

Special to The journal.

Special to The journal. -
Vancouver, B. c., May 16.-One of
the three men arrested for holding up
the Canadian Pacific train gives the
name of George Edwards. Chief Seav-
ey of Thiel s Detective agency SAYS
there is no doubt that Edwards is the
notorious Bill Miner. ..~.. =. .
The second man is William Dunn
alias 'Shorty,' who has been around
Hedley. B. c., for some time. The
third is Louis Colquohon, who has been
at Phoenix.
The men say they were prospecting
and deny holding up the train.
Miner is wanted for the job on the
Canadian Pacific railway at Mission
junction two years ago. Two years
before that he held up an Oregon Rail
way q Navigation train, and altogether
there is $4,000 reward on his head.
A graphic account Of the capture Of
the de;speradoes was given today by
bringing in the robbers. He said:
Yesterday Constable Pearse and I
had come to the end of the trail thru
timber and we. separated, Pearse going
toward Grand Prairie and I toward
Douglas Lake. I was moving slowly,
keeping sharp lookout, when 7 sud
denly came upon them.
"They had not seen me, so in order
to make sure Of their identity I went
back on the trail they had been taking,
until I assured myself that the tracks
were the same. There they were,
with hobnailed boots and the slim wom-
anish soles on the third one.
II knew we were sure Of our men so
[ rode back to secure assistance from
the mounted police. It was a good
thing I didn't tackle them alone.
After I made connections with the red
coats, we returned and, taking up the
trail. we came upon them in a thicket.
1.-The camp was thickly surrounded
and fusilade of shots showed they in
tended to put up long fight. This
| intention was altered after score of
shots had been exchanged, and one Of
the men had gone down They
bleeding badly.'
The men arrested answer the descrip-
tions given of the robbers. They were
we'll armed, having carbines and pis-
tolls.

CONSPIRACY TO ROB
LINERS UNEARTHED
Journal Special Service.

New York, May 16.-After working
on the case for weeks, central office
detectives have got to the bottom of a
series of thefts by which the Morgan
line steamship company has lost be-
tween $4,000 and 100000. Five men
are now in the Tombs charged with
completely in the larcenies. They are
Abraham Davis and James O'Brien,
clerks in the Morgan line employ, each
of whom is held in $4,000 bail for ex-
animation, and three expressmen, Adri-
an F. Post Of North Bergen, n. j.;
Frederick Palm, Brooklyn, and Daniel
Stratton Of Manhattan. The bail of the
last three is fixed at $4,000 each.
Assistant District Attorney Murphy,
who will prosecute the prisoners, be-
lieves that their activities extended
much further than the Morgan line. as
the Clyde line and other steamship
companies report similar losses
The method by which the Morgan line
was robbed is said to have been this:
Certain eXpressmen, after receiving
merchandise to deliver at the pier,
would take 1t instead to "fence, y
which is said to have been located in
Forsythe street. There a checker, who
was in the scheme, would O. X the bill
Of lading, but in place Of his own name
he would substitute upon the receipts
the name of some other clerk. The thefts
consisted principally Of silk and wooden
goods.
