In the arrest OF James Grims the
police believe that they may have one
of the men implicated in the safe
blowing robbery committed In this
city about a week ago. and also that
he may be connected with the robbery
OF several mail boxes, which occurred
on the same night.
1t was Grlms' extreme liberality
and apparent wealth which led to his
arrest Grims and a companion were
at the river yesterday afternoon,
where a number of boys were skat-
Ing. The men became interested and
offered cash prizes for skating races
and various other feats on the ice 1t
is claimed by the youngsters, who told
d detective of the incident, that the
two men must have given away over
SIS during the afternoon.
About 6 O'Clock last evening the
men were located at the Montana
rooming house on lower Twenty-fIfth
street, but one of them disappeared
before the arrest was made. When
taken into custody Grims carried an
automatic revolver In the side pocket
of his oveTCoat He asked no ques-
tions when placed under arrest and
refused to talk when taken to police
headquarters
