THE GANG IS
NOTORIOUS ONE
The Odor of Warm Leather Leads to
Detection of Thieves by D. e. R.
G. Baggage Master at Glen
wood.-Many Arrests.

The ability of Thayer Hubbard,
the 20-year-old baggage master of
the D. G. R. G. at this place, to detect
the odor of warm leather led to the
unearthing of one of the largest and
best organized gangs of thieves ever
in this section of the state, says the
Glenwood Springs Avalanche. 1t con-
| .inues: Three men are under arrest
| here and three men and one woman
are under arrest in Aspen and other
arrests are monemtarily expected in
other sections near this city.
For months the Denver & Rio
\ Grande has had its special agents
working with the local officers in
trying to unearth the gang which
was robbing the merchandise cars in
| the local yards. Since July, 1910,
these robberies have been more num-
erous, hardly a week passing but one
or more cars were broken open in
the local yeards. and no less than
$500 worth of shoes, clothing and
| other articles stolen. One of the
cars was robbed while standing on
the track under state bridge, which
is at the end of Grand avenue or
within a stones throw of the thor
oughfare. On Friday night the store
of Borst Bros was entered and be-
tween $1OO and $500 worth of shoes
and hats and other articles were
stolen. In spite of the fact that the
officers were working day and night
in an effort to locate the robbers,
they could find no clew.
Saturday evening an Italian
Ralph Crocko, who with his wife.
conducts a store in Aspen, brought
trunk to the d. & R. G. depot and
had it checked to Aspen. The trunk
4 remained in the warm baggage room
all night and Sunday morning when
Thayer Hubbard opened the door, he
was greeted with a faint odor of
warm leather. Knowing that the
shoes has been stolen. his suspicious
were aroused and he traced the odor
| to the trunk left by Crocko. The
officers were notified and the trunk
examined and was found to contain
about $500 worth of shoes and other
articles. The trunk was sent on to
Aspen. but officers boarded the same
train with Crocko and upon learning
that he was taking it to his Aspen
store. he was arrested, as were his
wife and two other men. In the
meantime Sheriff Jessup arrested
three other Italians who We're EN-
ployed at the coal shutes of the ID. &
r. G. A search was made of their
room built onto the sandhouse of
the company and here were found
three large trunks, several sacks
and grips, all filled with stolen goods
which were taken from the cars and
| Borst Bros. store.
The plan of the gang has been to
steal the stuff here and send the
greater part of it to Aspen, where
Crocko placed it in his store. 1t was
latter peddled to Italian workmen in
this district The officers are con-
WINGED that they have not yet Sc
cured all the members of the gang
and they believe they will be able
to find other cases in this city. The
total value of the stuff recovered in
this city and Aspen will total fully
$4,000.
