Robert, alias Jark Robert, alias Jungllng Jack. er-convlet. wn arrested by Sheriff Stevens about 10 mllea southeast of Otwkoti City yesterday afternoon. Fvtdrnee In the possesion of the Sheriff points to Roberts as the man who ruthlessly killed Oeorge Hastlnirs and Donald M. Stewart as the automo bile sped past him In the darkness. It Is significant that a shell-belt in Roberts' possession has four shells m ls In sr. which tallies with the Stat ments of occupants of the automobile that four shots were fired. Two of the four shots fird kllrd Stewart and Hasting, one wounded Irving I.upton In the arm. and the fourth tore into the automobile tire, ran. Ins; It to ex plode. Itefcerta Werfca Twre Days Farm. Another significant fa-t In connec tion with the rase Is that Roberts went to work on the farm about two miles from the attempted holdup last Wednes day and worked there until about 3 o'clock on the Friday afternoon before the killing. He was discharged be cause tils employers did not like his looks. That afternoon, it is said, he took the pump gun apart, probably to clean It. During the week he had asked his em ployers at the ranch the way to the road on which the hold-up took place. In the man's possession, when he waa captured, were found, beside the run and belt, a revolver of .3S caliber and a bowle knife and sheath. When captured In the cabin of a friend In the mountalna he was wash Ins; out his clothes, evidently prepara tory to move to new fields. He had a sleeping bag. In which he carried tow els, randlea and other articles. This sunny sack he carried over his back. Mkell rss4 te Cerreapoed. The 51 shells In the belt wnlch waa In Roberta' possession were Shelby shells, size 12. and the wadding of the (hells afterward picked up at the scene of the shooting correspond. Roberts had In his possession some of the same kind of twine used to tie up the mask which waa found over a fence by the 'side of the road near the scene of the holdup. Another fact which Is against Rob erts Is that he arrived In the neighbor hood where he was arrested about 11 o'clock last Saturday night. He was also familiar with the location of the holdup, as he was arrested several years ago while working on a bridge within a few hundred feet of the spot. Roberts told the persons for whom he was working that he had a patent which he desired to file, and that he was going to get the money to. tile It. and didn't care how he got it. ( rlsnlaal Record Less. He had a criminal record dating back to 1SDS. having served time at Spokane. Walla Walla. In the Multno mah County Jail, and at the Salem Penitentiary. lie waa arrested once for dynamiting a boathouse near Linn ton and for also burglarising a boat house. H waa suspected of having set nre to the machine shop at the Penitentiary, but so far as known this was not proved against him. He la said to have made a threat to kill former Deputy SherlfT Beatty follow ing an arrest which Mr. Beatty made. With Sheriff Stevens when he made the rapture yesterday afternoon, were Deputies Leonard and Phillips, Dep uty Joseph H. Jones gave valuable as sistance Immediately after the holdup and murder by- securing the informa tion that Roberts bad been in the neighborhood of the crime at the time It was committed, this fact leading to clews, which were followed with the result that the man was captured. Sheriff Stevens does not thing others are Implicated In the shooting, or that there was a plot or conspiracy of any kind, as he 'says Roberts was In the habit of working alone. He believes it was Roberts' intention, had he not been discharged, to hold up an automo bile on the road and with the plunder get back to his sleeping quarters un observed. He did not sleep in the house. It is said. MiertsT Ttalka ef Case. Speaking of the rrlm and the cap ture last night. Sheriff Stevena said: "Roberts left the place where he had been working at 3 o'clock on the afternoon of the holdup and murder, having previously asked the way to the tVhltehous road, on which the .inldup took place.

Evans. Lash lev and Crean bade their leader good-bye and turned northward at latitude 87 degrees, 46 minutes. They covered U miles a day until January 9. when a three-day storm checked their course. They re turned their faces towards the depot at Mount Darwin and crossed Shackel ton's Ice falls at the head of Board more Glacier.

Lieutenant Evans, second in command of the ex pedition, waa taken 111 with scurvy. lie was compelled, however, because ef the few men In the party, to continue drarsrlnar a sledge. After struggling for four days, Evans became unable to move further. Lashley and Crean made a depot of every bit of their equipment which could possibly be spared. They placed the sick man in a fur sleeping bag and made gallant efforts to drag him to safety on a sledge. They arrived at Corner camp on February 17. The next day Evans condition was serious and food waa running short. Crean therefore set out to walk to Discovery Hut. 30 miles away and Lashley stayed behind to nurse Evans.

A week later Evans was taken by sledge to Terra Nova and he Is now convalescent-Lieutenant Evans says that there Is little danger that the disease, which brought blm down, will attack the other members of Scott's party.

At times the ship was forced to back and charge at full speed against the Ice to make any Impres sion at all.

The northern party, which waa en camped at Cape Adare, Victoria Land. . nicked un. and onlv an lncom- .1.. t- nnrt nf Its movements can now be given.

With the greatest volume of water in history racing down the Mississippi, the main banks of the waterway remained In tact tonight, but private levees are breaking and whether the main re vetments, rain soaked, can withstand the additional two feet or more of water predicted is problematical. Government engineers assert the levees are in better shape than In any previous flood. But It Is pointed out by experienced river men, the strain will be greater than ever before and they are less optimistic than the Gov ernment men. Breaking Levers Relieve Strain. In the vicinity of Cairo, I1L, two out side levees broke today. These out lets have relieved to some extent the strain at Cairo and given those fight ing to hold the water within the bounds at that city freBh hope. At Bird's Point a negro was drowned, the second fatality of the flood. At Point Pleasant, Mo., where the river went through several days ago. a mile of levee Is gone. The lowlands were flooded to a depth of four' to five feet. . , .. Linda, Mo., is threatened. At that point the bank has caved to & point of danger and every available man Is at work building a short loop around the danger zona. Memphis Faces Crisis. In the Memphis district the White riverfront Is giving the greatest con cern. This levee is below the stand ard size and in many places new. To night the water is near the crest of the embankment and before the highest stage is reached, it Is probable the levee will be topped.

In North Memphis back water from Wolf River, a tributary of the Mississippi, has overfloyed Bayou Gayoso. Several hundred families have been driven from their homes and a score or more Industrial plants have been forced to suspend. The city's gas plant is surrounded by water. Train service has been demoralized. The Illinois Central Is sending north bound trains through several feet of water and all along the Louisville & Nashville water gradually Is covering the tracks. Arrangements . have been made to detour the trains about the flooded district. SIDNA ALLEN GETS AWAY Outlaw Seen and Slrot at, but Trail Is Growing Cold. HILLS VI LLE. Va., April 2.
