R. R. Detectives Alleged to Have
Found Place Where Plumber
was Disposed Of
TEN ARRESTS ARE PROMISED
Taken in This County are Recov-
cred in an Attic of a Saloon
at Kewaskum Sunday
(From Mondays Dai1y.)

The crusade of the Chicago &
Northwestern detectives and the Ke-
nosha police to round up the gang of
car thieves took new phase on Sun
day afternoon when Detectives Greene
and Stuart, who left here Saturday
evening, discovered a fence at Ke-
waskum where several hundred dol
lars worth of goods taken from the
company had been stored, and it is
thought that most of the goods were
stolen at different stations in Keno
sha county.
The finding of the fence has led to
the discovery of a large amount of
new evidence against the gang of
train robbers, and it is declared that
before tomorrow night ten more men
will be arrested on charges of grand
larceny and for receiving stolen
goods. The goods recovered at Ke-
waskum were found in trunk in an
. attic of saloon owned and operated
by John Andrea. The goods were
shipped to Kenosha Sunday evening
and the detectives swooped down on
Milwaukee and raided two other
places, and secured another consign-
ment of the goods.
It is claimed that the total number
of train hands in the conspiracy to
rob the company is more than twenty,
and it is expected that every one of
them will be arrested. 1t is declared
that it will be impossible for the men
to escape.
While the detectives are working at
Fond du Lac, Milwaukee and Kewas-
KUN today, Adolph Moe, who is said
to be deep in the conspiracy, is being
given au examination before District
Attorney r. v. Baker, and he is
weakening under the strain. 1t is
thought that before the day is over
he will make statement which will
reveal all the facts connected with
the now famous plot.
Before the detectives left Kerosha
Saturday evening they secured new
warrant for the arrest of Charles Hill,
the Kenosha brakeman, on evidence
furnished by Archie Quayle, arrested
on Friday, and Hill is again in the
county jail.
Conductor Charles Ritz is still
smarting under jail service and it is
not probable that he will secure bail
IN time to get out for the marriage
which was alleged to be planned for
tomorrow. Ritz and his companions
will have a hearing on Wednesday
but it is not thought that the matter
will be disposed of at that time.
Chief O'Hare is in quandary as to
what to do with the prisoners. There
are four of the members of the gang
in the county Jail today and De-
tective Greene declares that he will
be here tomorrow or Wednesday with
at least FIVE more and there is no
place to keep them. 1t is possible
that it will be necessary to remove
the prisoners to the Racine county
Jail on account of lack of room here.
Sheriff Pfennig was filled to the
doors today and it is certain that he
cannot take care of another prisoner.
No effort has as yet been made to
SSCuAS tHS release q young 0udyAS
who was brought in on Friday even
ing but it is thought that his relatives
will furnish bail for him when the
preliminary hearing takes place.
The arrest of the men has struck
terror in the ranks of railway en-
p1oyes aud it is claimed that several
of the men have quietly quit their
L of hn fat IN 10
avoid arrest. The detectives declare
that they are close on the heels Of the
leader of the gang and that he is
certain to be arrested within the next
two or three DAYS.
