James Beggs Taken For Alleged Part In Big Alaska Robbery. SEATTLE. Sept. 9.-Whcn James II. Beggs was accosted by Patrolman Hubbard last evening on board the steamer Senator, whiih had just ar rived from Nome, the closing chap ter of one o (the biggest gold dust robberies in the history of the West and North was closed. Beggs was arrested on a warrant issued by Dep uty United States Marshal Charles DiebclhU, of Fairbanks, charging him witn entering tne state ot Washing ton with stolen goods. The real charge is that Beggs had a part of the $19.(KX) which "Bobby" Miller had planted two years ago at Fairbanks after turning over to the authorities the major portion of $78,2.16.34 taken from the steamer Tanaua. Robert Miller is supposed to be on his way from Skagway to Seattle to meet Beggs and divide up the money. Miller completed a two year term of imprisonment this spring and imme diately upon his release went north. The Firemen's Fund Insurance Com. pany of San Francisco, which had paid the full loss on the gold, did not lose track of him ajid his movements were, known to them from the time he left McNeill Island up to the time he is alleged to have given, Beggs the gold. He went direct to Fairbanks. Cliarley Dreibelheis, chief deputy marshal, put a man on his track and it was due to his close surveillance, that Beggs was accused of carrying out the gold which Miller left. To lay Beggs will be formally charged by United States Marshal Perry of the third division who is confident that he will land Miller. Beggs' trunk and others, are held to be searched for the gold bricks. EXPECT BIG MEETING. Over 1000 Delegates Appointed to Tranamississippl Congress.
