BUAGLARS BROUGHT HERE !.
AND PLACED IN JAIL

4
hardware store were brought here
last night and are now in Jail awaiting
a preliminary hearing incidental TO
their trial at the April term of the dis
trict court on the charge of burglary
and larceny. They give their names rs
James McNulty, James Wilson and
James Graham, but the authorities are
inclined to think the names are ne
titious They have been positively
identified as the men who sold a part
of the stolen goods at Williamsburg
few hours after the robbery and there
appears to be no doubt of their guilt
and a long term of imprisonment for
them in the penitentiary seems to lie
almost a forgone conclusion.
The first clue in relation to the
whereabouts of the robbers was tele-
phoned to the authorities here from
Williamsburg shortly after o'clock
Thursday morning and Sheriff Esser,
City Marshal Cramer, Officer C. F.
Skinner and Clyde Davis of the peni-
| tentiary, the latter taking with him
the prison bloodhounds, left at once
to investigate it. On arriving at VIII
liamsburg they learned that three IN
known men visited Paolieni's saloon
there about o'clock and disposed of
a new shotgun, several revolvers and
a large quantity of cutlery to patrons
of the place for half pint of whiskey
and something like twenty-five dol
lars in cash.
The blood hounds were placed on
the trail, which the dogs Immediately
followed to Florence where the three
suspects were located by Marshal
'Newcomb OF that city, who had joined
the sheriff's party in the search for
robbers. Mr.. Newcomb succeeded
through his intimate acquaintance
with conditions in Florence in getting
line on the parties they were Look
ing for, and, with Sheriff Esser went
to the rooming house in the Orrechio
building where they found the three
! men asleep. The door Of the room they
were occupying was unlocked and the
, officers walked in on them and made
. the arrest at the point of their revolv-
ers. The men were searched and about
twenty dollars was taken from their
pockets, but none of the stolen goods
were found on their persons
The prisoners were put through a
sweating process at Florence by their
captors for the purpose of inducing
them to divulge the palce wehe they
had secreted the rest of the loot. but
they refused to disclose it and were
brought here and locked up for safe
keeping. They will be given a modified
form of the third degree" by the au-
thorities here and 1t is believed they
will come across" during the next
forty-eight hours and tell where the
stuff" may be found.
About seventy-five dollars worth Of
the stolen goods were sold at Will
liamsburg, all of which has been re-
covered by the officers and has been
identified by Messrs Ellis and Hood
. as having been stolen from their place
, of business wedneday night. The re-
mainder of the stolen property is be-
lieyed to be cached at some point be-
tween here and williamsburg and will
probably be located before long. Very
. little is known OF the antecedents of
the men under arrest, although 1t Is
believed they came here from Grand
Junction. Graham; who is the young
est of the trio, is about twenty years
OF age. The other two men are about
ten years his senior. McNulty says his
home is in Spokane. Washington. At
the present stage of the proceedings
none of them are very communicative.
