The arrest yesterday afternoon by
Deputy' United States Marshal Fou

tery of the buglarizing of P. H.
j G;uily;s grocery stpre on Sunday
night, throws 110 light on the mauy
other mysterious thefts anil de
predations t! at have taken place in
Skagway for years past, the perpe
trators of which have never been
discovered.
It was pretty generally thought
that when the party or parties
guilty of the above crinle we»-e ap
prehended, if they ever were, that
j the gang which has been operating
i here for so long would be broken
i up, but the guilty man is a stranger
in Skagwa_\, having been hero less
than a week at the time the rob
bery was committed, and so fax as
known Uad never been in the town
previous to that time.
.Mr. Ganty yesterday, after hear
ing of the l'.udlng of \V. U. liaison's
boat near tturgill's wood camp, took
a run down that wny in his motor)
lioat. He parsed the wood camp and
went down the canal until he came
within sis i t of the bis point about
s-.-veu milts below, where he dis
covered on the ease shore of the
t .H al n hazy smoke Irom a camp ,
lire. Ho did t i stop to invest!- i
,;ate but returned to town and 'n
lornud Heputy Jlai>.'aal Fouzo of
what he had dis«overed, and that
\ili uit oil'- • ;• at once chartered the

neither bedding, tent nor anything
else exce; i the clothes iu which lie
raents.
From thi' description 01 the goods
taken Deputy Marsh. I Fonzo at
»'d the stuff as that
stolen from the Ga.ity store and
after i:e had placed RuizeUeck un
der arrest the latter confessed nis
guilt. His story which coincides with

and make his way to Dawson over
the old Dalton trail.

lie •! no money and could get
no w- rk here so he broke into the
.store intending to take a boat and
i go down to Haines. When ho get
I down the canal about three rnilee
lielcw sturgills wood camp the wind
was strong and the seas'getting go
| heavy he tried to make shore, but
! in doing bo the boat when it got
I close in was swamped and he had
hard work to save himself and the
s'uff he had risked so much to
socuro.
After getting something to eat he
struck off down the shore line with
hi3 outfit on his back, buj how he
ever got over the country he trav
ersed for the fou-r miles which he
traveled he himself does not know.
When Deputy Marshal Fonzo dis
covered him he was shivering over
a smudge of fire, his clothes wring
ing wet from the heavy rain and his
tramp through the dripping ui*der
brusli along the shore, and in a fair
way to have perished from exposure
before many hours had he not been
found.
Rutzebeck was brought to town
and placed in the federal jail and
was brought before commissioner
Conway for hearing at 10 o'clock
tu.'s morning. He was bound over
tc appear before the federal grand
jury.
That the prisoner is not an habit
ual criminal is evident and it is be
li-Jved that he is truthful when he
says that it was only through the
effects of hunger that h» was in
duced to steal.

I., a BROCKMILLER HAS
very narrow escape
L. C. Brockmiller of the Board of

escape from serious if not fatal in
jury yesterday morning about 11
o'clock when the big mounted elk's
head, which is suspended on the
wall over the door of a closet at
I he west end of the bar, broke loose
from its fastenings and canie down
on the floor underneath with a
crash, barely missing Mr. Brockmil

of (he closet at the time.
The dents in the floor where
the ltead struck are sufficient if any
evidence is required, to con

Mr. Brockmiller's extreme good for

CIVIL WAR HEROES
PARADE IX DETROIT
Detroit, Mich., Sept. 2—Close to j
15.U00 veterans of the Civil wn- j
today marched through the streets
of Detfrolc in annual parade. A te\V '
others—disabled, or too feeble!
to stand the strain of the long walk |
—followed their comrades in auto- I
mobiles. In all, nearly twenty1
thousand of the men who fought
for their country in the sixties, were
in line. Each old soldier, as he
poised the flag-decked reviewing |
stand in Campius, where stood Com
mander In Chief-Wasiiiugton Ganl- j
•iot, and his staff, gave salute to ;
the reviewing offiecrs.
The parade, as usual, was the
crowning feature of tho Grand Army
National encampment. Commander
John Sautter, of Pennsylvania, of
the Sons of Veterans, matched at
the head cf more than 1.000 mem
bers of the auxiliary organization,
bringing up the rear of the big par
ade.
As tho veterans toiled through
the streets, mora than 3,000 school
children dressed in white and each
bearing a flag, sang patriotic airs.
Every effort was made by the
city authorities to provide prompt
attention for -any of the marcher*,
who might bo overcome by th$ ua
usiia] exertion. 4 For fins: aid, tw«
largo hospital tents were erected
• 'oiig. tho—lino of march and eyery
established liocpit^l >u t1u§ citj w
prepared for any emergency. The
route of the march wr.a lined with
twenty ambulances and an equal
number of public telephones for em
ergency use. The care of the pa
tients was give* to the Nation
al Red Cross society, and 60 nur*w
aim a dozen orderlies were la at
tendance, in addition to phygicIaM.
Sessions of the national encamp
ment will continue through to

time will be given over to business
sessions.
