BIG GOLD ROBBERY
OCCURRED AT DAWSON
. Dawson, Sept. 19? Detail* concerning
the robber; of the three sacks of gold
which took place while it was being
shipped b; mail on the Seattle So. 3,
lute In July, are just beginning to leak
out.
That the robbery occurred here there
is no doubt.:
At Eagle, where a Canadian poilal
clerk takes over mail shipments from
.the American officials, the fourteen
sack* \vere checked off. All numbers
tallied and no pouches were missing
when Postal Clerk Mont Maltby took
charge.
When the boat landed at Dawson,
Maftby carefully checked the sucks vs
tiiey left his stateroom to go oo the N. {
C. company truck to be carted 10 the
poitoffice. Not a sack wit missing.
About ten minu e? afterward Maltby
checktdotT the shipment at the |xwt
oftice.
Inner s cks I. 887, rotary :>72. and an
other cumbered 9,506, rotary 151 were
tnlnicg.
The man who assisud Maltbv In de
livering the shipment at the poatoffice
?ran a well known slertdore. steadily
employed ?t the Nj C,- company wharf
and an old timer Id the iervice a' th?
company.
It is the belief here that an organized
iramr, including one or more of the
boat's crew, fatn'iiar with all ship
ments, where' bey are locate*] on the
steam r, and how best and *hen to
make a haul, did the work, li is be
lieved to We tb% same pane that made
the 1 17,000 touch on a subsequent Toy
atre of the sane boat .
There ic no djubl that the robbery
committed after the mall passed
out of Alaska, as at Eagle 1 ot only the
pouches but the content* of each, sin-"
(flv by number, were checked by the
Seattle No. 3 sod the Dawson poatat
| clerk.
Secrvt service men of both the Can*
riian and American government* have
arrived at Dawvoa and are working on
the case. One of them, it is said, has
been tent on to Fairbanks.
A slatting rumor circulated here con
nects the namet of men who would not
be dreamed of as possibly being impli
cated with the commission of the rob
oery. -

Simpkins as a witness was seen and positively identified on
the streets of Juneau the night before last Simpkins was
attired in the garb of a workingman and was mingling with
other men freely, however, as soon as the party who recog
nired him spoke to him, Simpkins disappeared. The Pink
erton detective agency have hunted the world over for
Simpkins. for whom a warrant charging murder is out in
Idaho, but no trace has been had of him. A reward of
#7.000.00 has been offered by the State of Idaho for his ar
rest For several days past it was known A. A. Crane, one
of the attorneys who defended Haywood, was coming to
Juneau, but no one knew what his mission was. Now, ft is
presumed, he was enroute here to meet Simpkins. who it is
alleged is being kept away from Boise by the Western Fed
