COLD THIEF CONFESSES
And Leads Officers to Where the Treasure
Was Cached—George Dreibelbis
Did the Clever Work.
(Special to Yukon Valley News.)
Fairbanks, Sept. 4.— At
last R. E. Miller, principal in
the big gold-brick robbery of
July 10, has confessed, and
has led the officers to the
caches where the loot was
concealed.
Leading the officers to the
bank of the slough back of
the graveyard, he examined
a stump and said, “This is
the place,” and they uncov
ered nine bricks.
Thence he lead to a bar,
where they dug and found
nothing. He looked sur
prised and scratched with a
hook in another place and
found three bricks. He was
certain he put nine in this
cache, and a further search
disclosed the other six Mil
ler claims this plant had
been tampered with.
The searchers went to the
warehouse across the river,
opposite the depot, and loca
ted two bricks under the
warehouse. Though they
searched till the light gave
out, they found no more.
The search then ceased till
this morning. It is being
continued today.
It was through the shrewd
work of Deputy Marshal Geo.
Dreibelbis that Miller was
led to confess. It is conceded
to be the most wonderful
work ever accomplished in
Alaska. The remark is heard
on all sides:
“George is a wonder!”
LATER.—Two more bricks
have just been found, 4 p. m.
ness formerly conducted by Mrs. Burns
near the Miners Best saloon. Mrs.
Burns and Mrs. Swanson are to go out
side.
U. II. Wand went out to Hnosier
Monday. Mr. K no nee is to go outside
in a few days, and it is probable that
Mr. Wand will take charge of the hy-!
druidic works for the lialance of the
season.
