ARREST
SOLDIER
FOR BUTTE CRIME
Henry J. Gruber in Irons for
Complicity in Northern
Pacific Robbbery. "
MAY FACE MURDER CHARGE
Confederate at Butte Gives Informa
tion That May Lead to Conviction
of the Slayer of Engineer
Clow Last May.
ASTORIA, Or.. July 81. (Special.) An
enlisted man giving his name as Henry
J. Gruber Is under arrest at Fort Stevens
on a charge o being Implicated in the
robbery of a Northern Pacific train In
Montana last May in which Engineer
Clow was killed. Gruber is but 20 years
of age and came to Fort Stevens on July
22, from Butte, Mont., where he had en
listed a few days before.
That Gruber Is the man's correct name
is considered certain for the reason that
he gave his father's name on the descrlp
, tive list the same as on the "D and A"
card when he enlisted. He wos placed
under arrest at 10 o'clock yesterday morn
ing m accordance j with telegraphic In
structions received from the commanding
officer at Vancouver Barracks, who di
rected that the prisoner be held until an
officer arrives for him. Gruber is kept
'n the guardhouse heavily ironed.
The Attorney-General of Oregon has
been requested to give all the assistance
necessary to take Gruber out of the state
v that he can be returned to Montana.
The first instructions concerning the ar
rest of Gruber were received from the
Vi'Blt Department at Washington on Mon
day and directed the officers at the post
to- keep him under surveillance. This
message was followed by the order yes
terday to arrest him.
TOWER IMPLICATES TWO MEN
Gruber and Gordon, Named by Him,
May Be Same.
BUTTE, Mont., July 31. George Tower,
arrested yesterday upon the charge of Im
plication In the hold-up of the North
Coast Limited, near Butte, on May 7 last,
and the murder of Engineer Clow, today.
In the course of an Interview in the Inter
Mountaln, Implicates two men he names
as Joe Gordon and "Dutch." These men,
says Tower, were the actual robbers, but
he allowed them to use his room in a local
lodging house as headquarters. He says
Gordon threatened to kill him if he
"blowed."
Tower Is 22 years old. He says his par
ents reside in Galesburg. 111. He left
home as a boy and has wandered all over
the West. Beside Gordon and Dutch.
Tovrer says a man named G. C. Hastings
was in the plot. A suspect Is now under
. arrest at a port on the Columbia River,
Or., and a Butte deputy Sheriff left last
night to bring him. here. The local police,
who are after the J4000 reward, will not
name the place of Gordon's detention.
This suspect, whose name the police will
not divulge, is believed to be Clow's
murderer. The other two men have not
been captured.
The first clue to Tower's guilt was had
through a suit case filled with dynamite.
This was found on the blind platform of
the baggage car just after the robbers
fled. It contained several sticks of dyna
mite. This suit case was identified only
Tuesday by Mrs. Hurley -Hungate, who
runs the house at which Tower was Stay
ing. Tower's arrest followed. Mrs. Hun
gate had seen the suit case In Tower's
room the day before the hold-up and mur
der. While denying actual complicity in the
crime beyond allowing Gordon to use his
room as headquarters,: Tower acknowl
edges long intimacy between the two men.
He- has roamed around the West with
Gordon for five years. He Bays Gordon
had a plot to blow open the safe in the
postoffice at Newcastle, Wyo.. five years
ago.
Tower Is tall and slim and looks like a
mere boy. He has brown hair and brown
eyes. Gordon, who Is believed to be the
man held in Oregon. Is about 27 years of
?e and light complexloned. "Dutch,"
Tower says, is shorter and ?alks with a
Missouri dialect.
All Tower will say is that Gordon
brought a burglar's kit to his room the
n'ght before the holdup, borrowed Tower's
valise and went away. Gordon came
back the day after the holdup. Tower,
reading of the crime, charged Gordon with
It and Gordon threatened to kill him.
Then Gordon left and Tower has not seen
him slr.ee.
The police believe that Tower and the
man held In Oregon alone are Implicated
and that "Dutch" and "Hastings" are
pure Inventions. Tower says Gordon
worked r.s porter at the Antlers Hotel in
Newcastle. Wyo.. In 1902. at the- time of
the postoffice robbery plot there. That
plot, he says, fell through, because he,
Tower, backed out.

the linemen are ait Uiated with the or
ganization, i
In communities where labor is or
ganized In the four states In which thn
'.iii'i.Mi jipany operates, business men will be
ced to take out their telephones and
.use all business relations with the
company. Manager Murray, who left this

Amelle Rives, must take the chance of

It is in connection with a decision of

knew of no law which would Justify
him in taking such action, but he sug

a writ of habeas corpus to protect him
