ARRESTED ON STEAMER.
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.
