CONFESSION BY
WAREHOUSE GANG
Threatens Conviction of All, and
Sounds Like Diamond Dick,
But In Real Life

While there have been cases of
Sinners and bootleggers registered
for trial during the coming session of
United States federal court, the big
list from Van Arsdall recently I'M
earthed and captured as result of
the activities of officers will add very
materially to the number, and there
will doubtless be convictions in the
nine cases, since a number, of them
have entered pleas of guilty, all hav-
ing furnished bond for their appear
ance. ks#,
The unearthing of the gang, which
is charged with having robbed the
D. L. Moore distillery at Van Arsdall,
came through the work of Federal
Officer H. r. Saufiey, who, getting
some of the details, started the hunt
which terminated in the apprehension
of one of the ringleaders, who later
confessed. He is Fred o. Marsh, but
Fl years old, resident of Boyle coun-
ty. He gave the officer the entire
story and the officer continued the
unraveling until he had the details
which enabled him, together with 9TH
ers, to bring about the apprehension
of all concerned, tits believed.
The recital by young Marsh, who
detailed the manner in which the rob-
berry was perpetrated, savored of a
dime novel stunt, but more realistic.
He stated the planning of the rob-
berry and the carrying out of the
same, explaining the manner in which
the whisky was taken from the ware
house, where it was hidden, and of his
deal with one Dave Fox, and of the
latter's taking part of the whisky
to his home, where he buried it in the
cellar, Sbut where it was found by the
federal sleuths, who were on his trail;
of his suspicion that the officers were
watching his home, and that he made
a deal whereby he was to sell the
whisky and get one-third, similar
amount of the proceeds to go to
Marsh for his assistance, etc.
There. is said to have been another
confession upon the part of another
member of the gang in which the rob-
berry was detailed. The time and
place, the arrival of those who were
to cant the liquor away; how they
reached the office while one of lie
guards was asleep; of his being in
Inundated into silence by the drawing
of guns; of the manner in which one
Esco Beasley is said to have taken
five barrels and buried it on certain
farm and it's subsequent discovery
While the confessions state all de- |
tails regarding all participants, they
are equally as cognizant of. the fact
that Guard Young, who was not in on
the robbery, did not participate in the
robbery in any manner, he being
known to be true to his trust. This |
is said in one confession to have been
the cause of the necessity for enter
ing the office of the institution while
Young was asleep.
It is the belief that the remainder |
of the gang will enter pleas of guilty, |
since the evidence of those who have
confessed seems to be conclusive.

BIG CITY TAX IS
ALREADY PAID IN
Amount Much Greater Than ANY
Previous Year-SeveraI Thous-
and Dollars Collected

Since the time elapsed for paying
city taxes week ago, City Tax Com
missioner Jesse Dykes has collected
approximately $1,000, and they are
still coming i1to the office paying
their bills. Inc collections thus far
this period have ben the largest in
the history of the city. During the
month of October there was collected
$68,089.57. Thus far there has been
more than $4,000 collected, and Com
missioner Dykes will continue to take
the money until the books are taken
from his office. This is liable to be at
any time. Those paying at this time
while the books are in possession of
the commissioner will not be assess
ed the additional six per cent delin-
quent tax.
Last year there was $50, 55940 paid
during the month of October, the sum
this year being a little over $4,000
more than last year, while last years
receipts showed an increase over the
previous year. The records show there
has been steady increase in tax pay
ments and that the valuation of prop
erty in the city of Richmond is stead
lily increasing. The returns for this
periods payments will admit of the
books being put in better condition
and at an earlier period than last
year, a greater percentage of proper
ty holders paying their bills at an
earlier period. There are always a

CUTTER BEAR GONE FOR GOOD

The Coast Guard Cutter Bear, ac- cording to reliable information is now at Unalasll:I and will not again ap- pear in this section of Bering Sea dur ing the present open season. The cutter left here for St Lawrence ls- land something over two weeks ago with the intention of landing the gov- ernment school teachers, Mir. and Mrs Burn. but appears not to have done so owing to stormy weather. They are or Unalaska with no prospect of get ting back to their station unless an other vessel can be secured to bring them there. Efforts to have them re- turned by the Bear are said to have failed decisively.
 The dcrarture cf the vscsci 1t so early a period is subject of con- siderable adverse criticism. Tn view of the fact that the period of open navigation Is far from ended and the stormiest and most hazardous par! of the season is at hand. 1t appears that that the duty of the venerable Bear to safeguard shipping Is heinz honored more in the breach than in observance.
