Two Burglar a Captured.
uuc ot the burglars, who was
concerned In the "Wilcox Depart
tnent Store burglary, whb captured
at Kearney Tuesday afternoon by
Chief Oyermier arid Policeman Ban
ulster. He was taken itponausplc
ion because be was attempting to
dispose of a high grade of knives at
five and ten cents apiece. Shortly
after the man's arrest Chief Dvcr-
mier received a telegram from
Sheriff Kclihcr asking him to search
all tramps for revolvers, knives, etc,
so the chief immediately wicd back
that he had a suspect under arrest.
Sheriff Kellber and J. Q. Wilcox
took the first train for Kearney and
brought the man back with them
on train No. 5 Wednesday morning
as Mr. "Wilcox immediately identi
fied the knives in the man's posses
sion. The man gave his name as
Bert Connors and his profession is
pugilism. He had cached part of
the cutlery in an old tie pile. He
absolutely denies ever having had
that cutlery in his possession and
insists that the knives, which he
had on bis person and which he
sold, were bought by him from a
colored man.
Sheriff Kelilier succeeded in
unearthing a man by the name of
Allen, who saw Connors hide the
stolen stuff iu the tic pile and
brought him up as a witness. Con
nors will have his preliminary bear
ing to-morrow.
Tuesday morning Sheriff Kelilier
arrested three men here on suspic
ion. No proof could be found
against two of them and they were
released .but the third one, who
gives his name as Victor Lund and
says that' his home is north of Ogal
lala, was held and will be given a
hearing to-day. He recognized
Connors as soon as he landed in the
jail and under judicioua question
ing by" attorney' Rldgely finally ad-1
mitted that he had been in the
Vjcinity of the Btore about two
o!clook. There is little doubt but
that he is one of Connnrvs accom
plices. The officers are also of the
opinion that a third man who was
around with Connors Tuesday
evening is concerned in the burglary.
lie has disappeared but will be
hunted up.
