them" as circumstantial evidence of
their connection with some boxcar
robbery, and also possibly fore
stalled a series of hold-ups or other
crimes which the pair are believed to
have been prepared to- inaugurate.
The men were arrested on the
street while on their way to second
hand store with two suit cases filled
with collars contained in the paste
board boxes in which they were or
iginally packed, their mission at the
secondhand store being to negotiate
for the sale of their stock of collars.
In a cabin in which they have been
living for short time on the south
side another bundle of collars was
found, but the most interesting dis
coVery was Colts double action 45
calibre Army service revolver, fully
loaded, and a new electric flash light,
two of the most important articles in
the eQuipmeiht of night providers. The
revolver was under one Of the pill

mediately recognized, by certain re-
pairs to the hammer and the cylinder
pin, as one that had figured in po-
lice circles before.

certain pawnshop quite recently, and

Lovelace had bought it only a couple
OF days ago. The place where he
bought the fiashlight has not yet
been found, but as the light is a new
one and evidently has seen but lit
