MORE STOLEN GOODS
BROUGHT TO MOSCOW
MORE PLUMBER IN CAMP OF
ALLEGED ROBBERS

Sheriff Woody brought to Moscow
Friday night another load of plundel
believed to have been stolen by Robert
| Spoiler and Lloyd H. Woodress, ar
rested at Pullman Thursday night on
charges of burglary committed in
Latah county. Three more saddles
were recovered, making a total of
four that have been found These
were hidden in the brush near the
camp of the alleged burglars in the
outskirts of Pullman There are a
lot of fine Indian robes, almost new,
number of fine blankets and a~num-
ber of lap robes.
The gang had house fitted up on a
wagon in the most comfortable style,
with cook stove bolted to the floor,
nice bed in one end, shelves, lockers,
closets and drawers that would hold
lot of goods, and all filled with stuff
believed to have been stolen. Much
of the stuff is new. There are lot.
of dress goods, dry goods, in fact al
most everything one can imagine
Woodress and Spoiler are in the
extradition. Warrants were issued
y
these were sent to Colfax by register
served on the men in Jail by Sheriff
Mcclure. The woman claiming to be
Woodress' wife went to Colfax. She
was not arrested. She is said to be
a rather nice appearing girl Of about
18 years old, and her home is said
to have been near Thornton, where
her parents are highly respectable
people. That she was induced to ac-
Woodress by a PERSONAL
advertisement in the Spokesman-Re-if /
view of Spokane, is believed from evil
dence found in a suit case. In an
envelope addressed to L. H. Woodress,
Dayton, was found the following ad- |
clipped from the Spokane
paper:
personal aged 38, a
floating horse trader, would like 10
near from a girl or young widow that
likes to travel, free to go and willing
TO join me at an early date. Object,
natrimony. L. H. Woodress, general
delivery, Dayton, Wash"
Attached to this clipping was a card
oearing, in printed script, the name
Mildred Ruth Roberts, and below was
written, Thornton, Wash 1t is be-
ieved the young woman was capti-
rated by the romance of travelling
through the country, free to go" as
The pleased, and had answered the
and joined Woodress.
They claim to be married and there is
10 evidence that they are not. Sheriff
dcClure, of Colfax, knows the family
md says they are respectable and he
BELIEVES the girl is all right and is
innocent of any knowledge of the
usiness her companions were engag-
d in.
That Spoiler was willing to 'be the
.oat" and hoped to have Woodress
is the opinion of Sheriff
Woody, who has been working dill
emily and persistently on the case.
Ie did not get to bed until o'clock
riday morning and got up early and
yorked all day. Sheriff Woody says
nat Woodress was arrested first and
poiler got a tip from Mrs. Woodress
nd 'hid out" in the brush near the
amp, where he could see and hear
ut could not been seen by those who
ere near the camp fire and lights.

ffered to take all the blame and h
hoped to have Woodress re- o

That the men have been making a u
