ARRESTED ON STEAMER.
James Beggs Taken For Alleged Par,
In Big Alaska Robbery.

SEATTLE. Sept. o.-When James
il Beggs was accosted by Patrolman
Hubbard last evening on board the
steamer Senator, which had just ar
rived from Nome, the closing chap
ter OF one o fthe biggest gold dust
robberies in the history Of the West
and North was closed, Beggs was
arrested on a warrant issued by Dep
uty United States Marshal Charles
Diebelhis, OF Fairbanks, charging him
with entering the State OF Washing
ton with stolea goods. The real
charge Is that Beggs had part Of
the $4,000 which Bobby" Miller had
planted two years ago at Fairbanks
after turning over to the authorities
the major portion OF $7S,23o34 taken
from the steamer Tanana.
Robert Miller is supposed to be on
his way from Skagway to Seattle to
meet Beggs and divide up the money.
Miller completed two year term of
imprisonment this spring and imme-
diately upon his release went north.

paid the full loss on the gold, did not

he left McNeill Island up to the time
he Is alleged to have given Beggs the
gold. He went direct to Fairbanks,
Charley Dreibelheis, chief deputy

it was due to his close surveillance
that Beggs was accused Of carrying
out the gold which Miller left. To-
