ALEX. HARGROVE SAW THEM Mon -Applied at Mile House Friday Morning for Breakfast- Larkin's Clue Resulted In Capture of Men -Rubbers Taken Back. The police have, since the capture of the tour Camden Point bank robbers, maintained a silence as so where they received the clue that the men were in the vicinity. Today it developed that the clue was diecovered by Police Officer Thomas Larkin.

Friday afternoon Larkin was in Hargrove': grocery store at Grand avenue and Spruce streets and there met Alexander Hargrove, Salt Creek valley. Larkin remarked about the Camden Point men and that they had crossed the Fort Leavenworth bridge into Kansas. Mr. Hargrove hearing this, stated that two strange men applied at his house for breakfast early Friday morning, but that he had refused them and told them to go to Murray's place Salt Creek Valley. Mr.

Hargrove also gave a description of the two men. Police Officer Larkin immediately telephoned the news to the police headquarters. This was about 2 o'clock. Larkin telephoned again at 3 o'clock and mcceeded in talking to Sheriff Elgin of Platte county. The sheriff described the men and two of them tallied with those who were seen by Mr.

Hargrove. Larkin told Elgin of the men and Elgin immediately left for Murray's place in Salt Creek Valley. The men were not there when he arrived and he returned to Leavenworth. In the meantime the police at Leavenworth had telephoned to Hurley, the general storekeeper at Lowemont and told him to look out for the men. Shortly after 6 d'olock two of the men entered Hurley's store and purchased some goods.

Hurley immediately telephoned to the police at Leavenworth and the capture of the robbore followed. Late Saturday afternoon James Thorn ton, James McDonald, C. F. Ellis and Harry Edmonds, the four men who dynamited the safe in the bank at Camden Point, consented to be taken to Platte City without requisition papers, and they are all safely in jail there now. It is believed that the men will all plead guilty when arraigned for their crime, as they are certain to be convicted.

James Thorton, the man who fired upon the pursuers at Camden Point, may have to answer a more serious charge than the othere. The uther men carried guns, but they made no attempt to use them. They might have done so had they been closely pressed. Officers Larkin, Evans and McDonald, who captured the then, will receive their reward as soon as they are convicted. REAL ESTATE I TRANSFERS.
