Son Of Bob QuayIe, Well Known
Retired Conductor, Taken by
Railway Detectives
TRIES TO HIDE HIS IDENTITY
The Detectives Still Working and
Hundreds of Dollars Worth of
Goods Were Recovered on
Friday Afternoon

halfway QGIGCl1VGS SIruCk IN d E1S
place on Friday when they arrested
Archie Quayle, a brakeman, en-
ployed by the North Western Railway
company on a charge of being con-
nected with the wholesale robbery of
cars during transit. Quayle was
lodged in the Kenosha Jail late Fri
day evening and will have a hearing
late this afternoon. He will be put
under bonds of $500 and the hearing
continued.
Quayle was taken at Allis by De-
tectives Greene and Stewart and when
he was captured by the two meu he
made an effort to deny his identity
and even when taken to the jail at
Milwaukee he refused to admit that
he was the man wanted. Quay1e is
married and lived with his wife and
mother at $50 Barclay street. His ar
rest caused great sensation among
the railway men as he is one of the
best known of the younger employees
of the company on this division. He
is son of Robert Quayle, a retired
conductor, who had run on the Wis
consin division for a score of years.
The father is now in Denver, but he
has been notified of the arrest of the
son and he will come to Kenosha to
aid him at once.
Quayle is charged with assisting the
other members of the gang to dispose
of goods stolen at Twin Lakes on
May 10. The Quayle family have
summer home at Twin Lakes and for
this reason it was an easy matter for
young Quay1e to dispose of the prop
erty whicE had been turned over to
him. 1t is alleged by the detectives
that Qnayle took possession of large
amount of stolen property and sent
1t back to Milwaukee as baggage and
IN this way aided the thieves in dis
posing of it.
The detectives have not as yet
landed the man who is alleged to have
been at the head of the gang but COM
plete evidence was secured against
him on Friday and warrant was
issued for him today. He fed
from Milwaukee Tuesday after the ar
rest of the other men at Kenosha and
has since been able to elude the Off
Gals. However the detectives are
now close on his trail and they declare
that he will be captured within the
next two or three days and it is pos
sible that he will be taken by the Mil
waukee officials today.
In the meantime the arrest of
Quayle has brought to light lot of
evidence against the men who worked
at Twin Lakes, and it is possible that
another warrant will be issued for at
least one of the men who is now out
on bail. It is claimed that the men
bailed out are working hard to aid
the suspected men to get away. Added
to the arrest of Quayle the most SEN
sational development in the unrave1-
ing of the big conspiracy today was
the recovery of large amount of
stolen goods. This stuff included two
cases of clothing, alleged to have
been stolen at Twin Lakes, and valued
at between two and three hundred
0oAAeAA - oAu WV SoSSS u SAOCS NdAuCu
at a hundred dollars. The total
amount of stolen goods already re-
covered is more than two thousand
dollars. One of the detectives is still
in Omaha searching for the two men
who managed to get out of Belvidere
on Wednesday before the officials
could nab them, and it is expected
that they will be arrested on Monday.
All of the men for whom warrants
have been issued and not served are
married men, and it is not thought
possible that they can escape.
