10 DENVER BY CHEYENNE Reasons Why the Union Pacific May Aban- don the Julesburg Brauch. CHECKMATE IN DENVER & GULF GAME hutl Wonid Dis- ployes Sny Sehedule—~ y News, Bitaation Which Mr. Tra like to Face—What About the New Other Raiw T'he conference of the receivers and oftl sors of the Union Pacific with Recerver Trumbull of the Denver & Gulf, which has been held here during the past two days, came to an end last evoning and most of the oficials went away last night.

Among the chief topics discussed at the con- ference was the nayment of interest by tho Union Pacific on Denver & Gulf *'doubles Mr. Trumbull not only gave it to be under- stood that this was desired, but intimated that in default of payment he would apply to Judge Hallett at Denver for a comrpulsory srder, o For such a move as this the Union Pacific heckmate vhat would cause Mr. Trumbull serious embarrassment.

This branch from Julesburg as far as La- alle is under the control of the Gulf and is operated by the Union Pacifie by virtue of such o contract as under the receivership condition of the system can be annulled by the Union Pacific at any time. But the pox tion of the branch frouw La Salle to Denver is under the controlof the Union Pacific Thus while the [atter could get into Denver from Omaha by Cheyenne and on just as good time asnow by Julesburg, the Gulf would be left holding the sack so faras close traffic arrangement with the Union Pacific was concerned. Tt would be asked. if it wished to conuect with the Union Pacific at Julesburg, to pay o re tor the line from cuver to La Salle on a trackage basis, an rrangement whicl Mr. Trumbull appre- hends with dread. But this is a tarn which affairs ave likely to take. It would be no sacrifice on the part of the Unfou Pacific, for tho income from this branch is said to fall below operating oxpenses, and as the Denver car, which is now dropped from the main lino train here, Jies several hours aud is then hauled to Denver by a local train, the abandoniment of tho branch would cause no loss of time in reaching Denver via Cheyenne. THAT NEW SCHEDULE. Union Pacific Employ s are Inclined to Talk Lattie About Lt Railway men and others interested in rail- way matters were much surprised to read in Tue SuNpay Bee the exclusive aunounce- ment of the order of the federal court grant- ing the petition of the Union Pacitic re- ceivers asking for a new scale of wages and cnjoining the employes from enguging in strikes or other disturbances and conspira- cies tending to harass the receivers or delay trafiic. While this action was not unexpected, it was thought that after the half-way settle- mont of the question of reducing wages as proposed last September nothing more would come of 1t. But shortly after the road was placed in tho hands of receivers the rumored reduction was again agitated and is finaily to be enforced. Members of several railway organizations were seen yesterday and asked concerning the new Union Pacitic wage schedule which goes 1nto effect March 1. There aro a few who think the scale is a Just one and fully warranted by the condi- tion of the road’s business, Theso incline to the belief that it should meet no opposition, inasmuch as they regard it is an equitable adjustment of wages all along the line. There ure, however, others who say the scale is unjust, and that the conditions of business do not warrant a cut at the present time, They, moreover, think and ave care- ful in making their remarks forcible, that the cutting, should it be necessary, ought from a standpoint of equality and justice to commence with the nigh-salaried officials of the road instead of beginuing with those who barely earn living wages at the preseut scale. They suy, a great many of th that it 1s bavely possiblo to pay living expenses now and to cut them further would put their incomes on a starvation basis, Somo of these ave switchmon, passenger and freight brakemen and conductors, Mr. V Irich of the Brotherhood of Rullway T s seen at his ros dence yesterday.

He sald: “Tdo not wish to be quoted as ox- pressing any opinion. The fact is I havo not carefully road the terms of the now cut and cannot say what fts effect will be. No, I could not say it will meet opposition, nor the contrary." Conduetor W. R. Cahill was found at his home, 510 South Tenth street. Ho had nothing particular to say, and remarked that the schedulo was unexpected among the employes, and, in fact, the first any of them heard of It was in Tie Bre yesterday morning. *I have not had timo to talk with any of tho boys about the matter,” said ho, “and moreover, I don't think jt’ would be wise to say anything if T haa,” Many others wore seen. Very fow were willing to talk for publication and would ex- press no dircct opinion. Yot the general sentiment among the trainmen, in partic the brakemen and switchmon, is that the new schedule 1s unjust. Midwinter Falr Rutes. It seems quite likely that rates to San Franeisco and the Pacific coast will get con- siderably lower before the Midwinter fair is Rates for the round trip from Den- ver are now fixed at #60, and the roads lead- ing out of St. Paul are making strong efforts to secire o large portion of this business. The managers of tho middle western lines are trying to avrange n schedule of rates with castern lines in order to attract peop! from the cast to the western const. These rates will probably not go into effect- for some time yet, but the railways learncd a lesson during the windup of the World's fair which will undoubtedly be profitable to them in future cases of a similar nature. It is thought that with low rates enongh people would be encouraged to visit Californin to make it a profitable thing for all the lines reaching the western const. At least this is the opinion of one of the well known pas- seager agents, P BYEKS WAS EXCITED, Legal Prucesses Too Slow to Suit the Case that Troubled Him. Some one nearly tumbling down the stairs and breaking open the door with a bang that shook the bars in the jail cells startled the police about 7 o’clock last evening. I want to see the captain,” said a scared- looking little individual. I want tosee the captain on private business, very pri- vate, I would like to tell him so nobody can hear me, Where is ho?” “Well, my dear sir, what can I do for you?” asked tho captain, “Come over herato the corner captain, I don’t want that fellow there with the paper in his haud to hear what I've got to tell you. Its very private and personal.’ T'nel in tunes as if the captain wasa block away he told his woe, and it was amusing, but not to him. Ho said: “Yesterday my wife and another man named Moore,” but_that's not his really, truly name, that's Moore, had me arrested for, they said, making loud noises and getting drunk. They mademe go before a justice of the peace and remain in custody of a_constable till I got somebody to get money to get me out. ‘The constable kept me all day. While he kopt me my wifc and this old Moore moved allmy things down on Fifteonth streot and 100k to keeping house, just like married peo- ple do.” “Well, what do you want moiws do?” tho captain ‘asked as he shed a laughing vear be- hind liis glasses. “Why, " and the frightened young man looked around to sce if that_fellow with the paper in his hand was outof hearing, “why, I wint you to send five or six ofcers down there to where they moved and see if you sce them, my wife und Moore, 1 the same house together.’ “And then what?” “Why T want you to arrest them for being togethor in the ssme house without being married.” “Well, have you sworn out & warrant You know that'is o case where I can do novhing without a warrant.” “No, but I will get me one right wway. That reminds me, I heard the§ were good things always to have.” “The captain then told him what would be necessary to do and inquired his name. 0, my, I don't like to do that, but if you don't’ tell anybody, it's Byers—Byers.” and he flew out the door to try to do somothing toward bringing nis guilty wife and friend tn terms. Later Mr} Byers secured the avrest of H. M. Andrews, alias Moore, and his wife. They were taken from a room on Fifteenth street between Chicago and Davenport. Andrews won the affections of Mrs. Byers while vooming at her house, 1714 Jackson, . Byers was charged with adultery and WS with losed. “Wang" was presented at Boyd's last night. This opora is presented by the Truss company, with Edwin Stevens taking the leading part. The performance generally was good. The costumes are new and ele- gant, the scenery might be considered gor- geous, the music was good, there were many pretty girls in the cast and they played their parts with cousilerable vim and snap. “Wang” was written by J. Cheever Goodwin and set to music by Woolson Morse. The principal features of the performance are ludicrous situations, gaudy costumes and good singing. Edwin Stevens as Wang, Joe S. censfelaer Colonel Fracasse, J. A, Park as Jean Boucher, Virginia [arl as Mataya and Ethel Lynton as the widow of Counsel Primoussi took the leading characters, ana their support was good. Tn spito of the of- fort to make the pieco all comedy, there are some serious plots devetoped. Mr. Stovens ca his part quite well. although some of Lthe audience were of the opinion that he was not as good in it as DeWolff Hopper. He has adifforent style from Hopper, and is not at all tiresome. Virginia LKarl as the crown prince is nearly, if not quite, the equal of Delln Fox, who took the part i Hoppor's company. The juvenile female quartet is oneof the excellent features. The company will repeat the verformance tonight and to- morrow night.

CORBETT CAN WHIP ANY MAN LIVING Opinion of the Ex-Champlon is that the California Wonder is tho Best of the Fighters, Dead About Juckson. or Allve— “I think the rheumatics got into his bloody heart,” said Tom Allen to tho St. Louis Republic Saturday night, in discuss- ing Mitchell and his defeat at the hands of Champion Corbett. The ex-champion of America, who was in the corner of the Eng- lishman in Thursday’s battlo, had just re- turned from Jacksonville, aud, notwith- standing his countryman’s dofeat, was in good humor. Continuing, Allen explained his remark: *For ten days before the battle it was impossible for us to get Mitchell to punch the bag. ‘For God's sake, Charley,’ I'd say, ‘Just hit that bag a few punches.' ‘I've got the rhematies in the shoulder, he'd say, and thav's all we could get out of him. If the rheumatics were not in his shoulder they were in his heel; but I got to thinking toward tno last that he had sized up the trouble wrong, and that the rheuma- tism was in his heart. Knew Iis Fate Beforehand. ‘‘He was a beaten man, and he knew it four days before the fight. I didn't lose a dollar, because I saw enough to show me that Charley couldn't win, and hardly any of the St. Louis boys lost any money, be- cause I told them not to bet on Mitchell Fred Watkins lost £400. I told him that [ didn't seo how Mitchell stood even a chance, but he wanted to put up some money for friendship's sake. I told him that I thovght that Charley might last twenty rounds, aad he went and placed $400 that way. “Tf 1 haan't been so long ot training quarters I would have lost consid- erable money on him, for I took a roll with me. Mitchell, thoday of the fight, weighed 155 pounds, [got to Anastatia island two weeks before the fight, when the Knglish- man had got trained down to the limit and should havo begun to build up. But he couldn’t do it, you know. He weighed 157 pounds then, and, although doing no train- ing, he began to waste away and dropped off acouple of pounds. He drank too much champagne in his time, and he's got no vitals left. He was nothing but a snell, al- though outwardly he appeaved all right. He had no life and I could see that the jig was up. D : Corbet Surprised Him. “I hadn't seen Corbett since the Sullivan fight and when he stripped for the first round I was never so surprised in my life. He weighed 197 pounds and was in the pink of condition. How he has filled out since he downed John [..! The flesh has gone on so nicely, too. Why, when the men stepped to the center Corbett looked like a giant and Mitcehell like a rat, All that Mitcheil had in him he showed in the first round. When he camo to the corner I knew he was beaten. Pony Moore says to me then: “Tom, what do you think of it ‘It’'s a hundred to one that he goes out,’ I replied. Hardly had the words left my lips than Corvett punched Mitchell and ne went down. When he got up Corbett knocked him down again, and then I knew my man was done for and the fignt would only last a few minutes. “The referee didn’t know his business. Ho may be a nice fellow, but he had no business there. When Charley was knocked out, he didn’t begin to count until he had been down nearly ten seconds, so excited was he. Cor- bett was a madman. He lost his head com- pletely, and in the second round should have lost the fight he had almost won. Kelly came pretuy near being knocked out then. After the gong had sounded, both men con- tinued to exchange blows. Kelly rushed in to separate them and Corbett let out aright- hander that just grazed the referee's face, Ifit had ever landed, a new referce would have been necessary. *‘Corbett is a wonder. I beliave that if he steps into the ring in the shape that he did on Thursday, the Californian can whip the best man that ever lived.” Mitchell's CORBETL AND JACKSON. Peculinrities of Their Style and the Physi- cat Differences Apparent. Between June 10 and 25 James J. Corbett and Peter Jackson will meet and determine the question of pugilistic supremacy. If this match is brought to a decision it will be the greatest event in tho annals of boxing. Corbett is now the undisputed champion of America, says the Chicago Tribune. He ob- tained the utle when he defeated John L. Sullivan, bur thero were those who denied him the honor, averring he had overthrown o man who was stale, dissipated, and aged. Tho defeat of Charley Mitchell has caused o wonderful change of opinion, and now few versons will dispute the declaration that the Californian is a veritable pugilistic wonder. His tactics against Suilivan, of an ex- tremely cautious character, even after he had demonstrated ability to land wherever hechose and to avoid Sullivan's attacks with equal facility, failed to enlizhten many a8 to his real capabiliti What he could do ngainst a clever man a slashing en- unter was unanswered until Thursday. There is no eainsaying that Mitchell is or Heo wi outclassed in height, weight and ch, and probably skill, but his cleverness gave himself and his admirers confidence, He had tried himself in many ways against many of the leading heavy weights of the world and believed he had through others obtained a good line on Cor- bott. It was this belief that made bim muko the mateh and struggle that ended so disastrously. Corbott's Groat Display of Energy. bett surprised the Englishman and body else by tha energy ho displayed and its vesult. It Look twenty-one rounds of measured, careful work to gain a verdict over Sullivan, ‘Three furious rounds lowered the colors of the British champlon. Strange as it may appear nearly overybody inter- sstod n pugilism ostimated Corbett's qual- ities by his showing against Sullivan ex- lusively, his sixty-one round draw with i Jackson being ignored or consid- ered insigoificant, The impression created by that contest was reflected by the odds of to 1 on Sullivan when he faced Corbett. Had Jackson bee in Corbetts’s place the odds on Sullivan would probably have been just as lurge. Sullivan was the ideal fighter of the period, and was presumed to furnish a chumpion: ship standard to which all others might aspire and none attain. Hence Corbett and Juckson, on an equal standing because of their draw, were considered with pity or contempt when their names were meationed ab the same timoe as that of the great John L. Now that Corbett has proven he out- classes all previous ideals or standards his clevation carries with it to equal prominence the reputution of Peter Jackson aud invests thelr coming meeting with & degree of interest never before attaching to any pugil- istic event. Will Be Evenly Matohed, When they fuce each other next June they will be on an equal footing. Corbett wlil have an advantage In height, belng an inch taller than the colored champion, who stands six feot and half an inech, In reach they bo uaerly equal, while Jackson will bo at least ten pounds the heavier. Both are excoedingly clever, but 1 attitude and ac tion they ave almost as ualike as they are in color. Whatever advantage Corbett may have in height is offset by the fact that he crouches somowhat whon ke puts his hauds up, while Jacksou stands almost perfectly erect, In build they furnish u steiking contrast. Co bett 1s symmetrical und evenly proportioned, without s single striking lne or uceumulation of muscle, Juckson has large feet and hands, neavy arms, n remarkable development of muscle on his chest aud shoulders, and A waist comparatively so slight th when ho first appeared in this coun- try few bolioved he could stand wany body blows or exhibic great en- durance. While Corbett is lithe, agile, and elastie, Jackson 1s, by comparison, slow, stolid and powerful. Corbott will make many feints and menacing motions without a leaa, aud does nearly all his work with a spring THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: : MONDAY, and dash. o gots i reach or out of dangor with a bound, Jackson makes fow unnoces- sary movements. Iis [pads are determined, all his power being thipwn into thom. His length of stride enables him to step forward and land his left, with which he invariably strikes straight from the shoulder. Appar- ently the action is all jn his arms, his foot- work seeming slow and awkward. Jackson's Defengive Movements, His defensive movemnts are equally dis- ploasing to the aye, yet they are wonderfuily effective. With a'‘sort of sliding shuffle he steps back or to orie sille and avoids a lead, and after he has dono 1t several times spo tators begin to realizo that he is shifty with- out being swift or active. His head work cor- responds, Ho never ducks low, but simply throws his head to one side or back and it is safe. Body leads are also avoided with slight exertion, and whether his stomach is his yulnerable point remains to bo determined, beeause nobody has yet been able to get solidly onto it often enough to cause visible effect. The manner in which he avoided the heavy blows Joe McAuliffe and Slavin tried to deal him attests s clever- ness. Yet he does not look cleyer after one has witnessed Corbett's nervous and nimble work. Here are probably the two cloverest box- ers 1 the world, the one impressively skill- fulat first sight, tho other only to bo knowledged clevor after careful study of his method and its results, The imagination could scarcely concefve two clevercr boxers more extremely opposite in method and style. Kach would have a slugger at his mercy, and still the difference of style be- tween Corbett and a slugger is not greater than that between Corbett and Jackson. Their Mecting in San Franclsco. When these men met at the California Athletic club May 21, 1891, neither was in good conditlon. Jackson had a sore leg and knew he would be hardicapped by it, but he would not forfeit nor disappoint the Califor- Athletic club, the members of which had been his friends from the time he reached San Francisco. The club was in financial trouble. and to fail to bring off the fight meant a difference of $20,000 to it. Knowing this, Jackson declared himself in honor bound to mect Corbett at the ap- pointed time, regardless of condition or the r;w‘x\nl‘. even if his reputation might be sac- rificed. Corbett was in comparatvely poot health. His stomach was not right and he could not gev it right. So serious was his condition that a friend advised him to get a postpoue- ment or forfeit and not ‘“go against tho worst of it.”” Jim angrily responded, ‘“I'herc's nobody in the world that can lick me. 'l 5:1(1\\' you nobody has the best of me in o ring.” Ior twenty-four rounds Corbett had tho best of it, and he was looked upon as a win- ner. He had reached Jackson's body and avoided the colored man’s deadly loft, and his friends werce accordingly elated. But Jackson d done most of vhe leading. The Jackson declared he would not whip him- self following Corbett around the ring. When Jackson asked why he did not do little leading Corbeft replied: 'ro the champion; I'm only a boy After the thirty-first round the con- test developed into a walk-around, Corbett keeping uway and Jackson declining to chuse him. At theend of the sixty-first round the referee declared the fight a draw. Corbett protested that he was able and willing to go on. Since that time Jackson has at all times expressed a desire toagain confront Corbett. The latter’s ambition was te meet Sullivan, whom he considercd easier game and likely to yield more money. ‘Iour years ago Cor- bett said he would rather meet Sullivan than Jackson, and he still has great respect for the colored man. Nevertheless he says: 1 can whip him sure.” How This iatch Was Made. Corbett evaded all propositions for a match with Jackson until July 10 last, when prior to the Solly Smith-Grifiin contest at Roby he arose and offered to make a match for $10,000 a side. Parson Davies accepted for Jackson. A few days later details were arranged, and \W. J. Davis was chosen stake- holder. Four thousand dollars is already in his possession. Thae first deposit, $1,000 *h, was put up August 12 last. The next £2,000 was placed in his hands last Thurs day, January 25. March 26 each party will put up 82,000 move. April 2 there will be a deposit of £3,000 enclt,and May 27 the final $6,000 will be turned over. Corbett became an athleto while'employed ay a clerk 1n a bank. Jackson is a machinist, and while working at his trade learned to box. Both are intelhwent and well behaved. Professionally they are fighters and actors. Corbett appears on the stage in “Gentleman Jim,” while his dusky rival is the stellar at- traction of an “Uncle Tom's Cabin” com- pany. On the stage Jackson has been the greater drawing card, and has been doing a surprisingly profitable business. Corbott's stage business has been only fairly success- ful, but he will probably coin money for the next few months, Itis likely both will re- main on the stage until April L and then go into training. Jackson is already taking light exercise. His training methods ave radically different from those of Corbett. He does no severe work, long walks being his chief exercise. Corbett can easily keep in good order from now until he begius doing hard work. ‘I'hat each man will train faithfully may ve as- sured. Neither wili take any chance of de- feat for want of proper preparation, — Cor- bett will get nto condition more casily than Jackson, who is five years the elder and more convivial in his habits. Where the fight will take place is unset- tled. There 1s a chance that it will be de- cided in London, as a club over there is sure to make a big bid for it, whiie the chance of bringing 1t off in the United States is de- cidedly siim. ENDED IN ARKESTS, Awmateur Prize Fight Disturbed by the Fo- loo—Spurring Context. A fight to a finisn was announced to take place av the Natatorium, Howard and Four- teenth streets, last night. B The match was between Patrick Ford, Jr., and Parsons, and was tov the receipts, Promptly at the appointed nour tne pugil- ists arrived and entered the ring Sergeant Whalen was on hand, ana as the men stepped to the center for the initial bout he suid “Gientlemen, if this is a fight to a knoc out you cannot have it here, but if it is to be sparring for points you may go ahead.” Young Pat announced he intended to fighy his best and supposed Parsons would do the same, inally it was agreed that they would spar for points, and the first round was commanced. The men came together in a lively manner. Mr., Parsons hit Mr, ¥ord in the ribs two or three good Jabs, and in return got a stem- winder or two on the wind. Herethe friendly bout assumed the proportions ot a roal fight and Sergeant Whalen again reminded them that if it continued they would be arrested, The fighters took off the gloves and took thelr corners for the second round, but there was 80 much disagveoment that Sergeant Whalen told them ‘they ‘could not continue the fight and to dress and leave the hall, The contest was declared a draw and the stakes, 815, were divided between the two. After dressing, and 'Just as the paruici- pants were about to leave, Id Dee met Pat Iord, jr., in therdoorway, and said, “You coward, if you had ot thrown up the sponge you could avo whipped that sop.” Pat re sponded in wordsito ‘the effect that if he (Dee) wished to wny it with the gloves on or off, he could ‘demonstrate who the coward was.

This week will be given up to vaudeville en- tertainment at the Fifteenth Stroet theater The company which opens tho engagement this evening is composed of a good number of strong specialty people, whose perfor- mance will be pleasing and novel. The big spectacle, “The Black Crook," comes to Boyd's theater for four nights, commencing Wednesday evening next. Tugene ~ Thompkins generally does ghly what he undertakes to do, and in the revival of “The Black Crook” he has not trifled with the confidence inspired by his production of *Jalma” and other spec- tacular pieces. The spectacle, now to be seen at McVicker's theater, Chicago, until the latter part of January, at which time it will be transported bodily to the larger western cities, easily surpusses in gorgeous- ness of displuy and claborateness of detail any presentation of the old play made in re- cent vears, It is interesting, beautiful in richriess of myriad-hued costumes and ar- tistic scenery, imnosing in the splehdor of numbers and well conceived offects, and agreeably furnished with incidental divert- isement. Then there is the great French Iin de Siecle dance from the Moulin Rouge, Paris, under the'direction of the most fas- inating of all French dancers, Mlle. La irene.

About 7 o'clock the patrol wagon was summoned in a hurry, It was loaded with detectives and police and the reporters were requested to re rin behind, It returned ay and two shackled, massive and desperato men were hurried Into the jail corridor. They were specdily usherod into the search room, heavily guarded Within five minutes tho jail door leading to the strcet opened and in walked four detec- tives with two heavily manacled men be- tween them Hero was a quartet of as desperato and vicious looking men s have been in the city Jail for many months. They were brought up to the docket and gave their names as V. W. Clark, ocoupation, buteher; k. Overton, sheep herder; L. Garlic and J. Button, with no trade. Thoy remained silent aud motion- less as statues while the soarch was going on, neither smiling nor uttering a word un- search developed that each W armod with the oxception of Garlic. They were deprived of loaded revolvers. These were found ln various pockets, one having his rovolver in the outside pocket of his coat, another in tho side pocket of his trousers and the other had one in a belt. Loose cartridges wero taken from them, musks, bottles of chloroform, knives, chisels, nippers, clubs and, in fact, everything that goos tomake up & gouuine highwayman's outfit, Going to Rob a Laundry. This gang was unheard of till Saturday night about 11 o'clock. At that hour a col- ored man, Joe Brown, came to the station and asked to see Serceant Shoop. They wero closeted together for some timo, the visitor appearing to understand porfectly what he wanted to say. Shoop that there was a under way to rob the Chinese ‘I'wonty-third and Cuming streets. He it was going to bo done by four m that they were heavily arm nothing balk their plans. He said the plan was to enter the laundry, order the China- men to hold up their hands, and 1f they re- fused, t0 beat them into submission and to shoot, if necessary, to do it, and finally to chloroform them.” Then they would go through the laundry and look for the moncy these Chinamen were supposed to have hid- den about the place. The gang was to work thus: Clark and Overton were to do the work in the side, while Button was to guard the front door and Garlie the rear. The remainder of the gamo was, As soon as the moncy was pro- cured, to leave town west, going out Cuniing street, leaving the Chinamen chloroformed and unconscious of their 10ss till therobbers had had time to make good their escapo. This plan was to have been executed a week ago, but, was not, for the Chinamen in this laundry that night had some visitors, there being about twenty of them, so tho robbers concluded not to tackle such a crowd, bub to postpone operations for a week. This s what Brown told Sergeant Shoop Saturday night, but at 12 o'clock yesterday ho caine up to Shoop's residence and told” nim where he could go und get a good look at the entire lot. Ofticor Overhears Thelr Talk. Brown said if Shoop would como to the postofiice at once he could see the gang. as they had planned to meet there at 1 to talk, preliminary to carrying out thelr plans yesterday evening. Shoop went down unac- companied by Brown and stood in the wost- oftice for an hour listening to the plans for the robbery in detail. While there he saw Overton get two letters, and for this reason he thought that there are other mem- bers of this gang in other citi The plans, { s Shoop overheard them, wero that the gang mect on the corner of Hurt and Twenty- third streets to arrange final details for the robbery. They were to meet there at 7 o'clocic sharp and procced at onco to the laundry, where the plaus as arranged for the week previous would be fully carried out. v Sergeants Haze and Shoop took their sta- don in a private house across the strect. Here they, could with perfect case watch every movement of these fellows. Just as the High school clock struck 7 the four men came up Burt street, two on one side and two on the other. They met on the corner and held a féw moments conyersation; then thoy started rapidly toward tho laundry intended to be robbed. W They Were Trapped. About b o'clock Sorgeants Haze and Shoop stationed Detectives Dunn, Donahue, Hayes aud Hudson in the laundry ‘in a place of con- cealment. It was thelr duty the minute the follows opened the door to placoe them under arrest, it possible, before anybody was hupt. Button und Garlic had already taken up their posts according 0 tho plans and were awaiting Clark and Overton's arrival, Soon theyapveared, and vight in their wake, probubly twenty ' foet away, were Sergeants Haze and Shoop. ‘The robbers were now together aud the mo- ment for action had a Clark and Overton stepped up to the door, but a signal was given from some alloy and they turned and walkod idly By this time Shoop and Haze had reached the corner, and just as those fellows turned to run placed thom under arrest. Clark and Overtou roached for their re- volvers the moment the ofticers made themselves known, and it looked as though there would be o tragedy right on the street, but the fellows were overpowored and sufely handgufled, The four detectives on the fnside, Duun, Donahuo, Hayes aud Hudson, sprang from thelr hiding places and placed’ Button ana Garlic under arrcst.
