Tho Nelson tolegram, whioh we published in yesterday's issue, contained matter of tha utnia&t, importance., hi connection , with 1 tifo 1 fatodf poor Mr IJbbsori, oT jtoi tluie #0 were .hoi; award of it. jjiifc tvM scrutinised by the poiice it was found pregnapi with significance, through the similarity of tlJe Christian, names w.jth those belonging to Burj gess, Sullivan., and teyij for w,h6so jvrepjt warrants had beon issued on tho oharge'of conspiring to murder Mr E.B. Fox, in tho Groy district. As wo havo before related, fortuitous oiroumstances saved that gentleman, bu.Hlwr© is too much reason tobollore poor Mr Dofaon suflbred In his stead. It was the oliaiM Le.vi, whloH nrst wlisdd" tile BuspioiahiJ oBilS police lioro; tliat notorious sco'undrei, being familiarly known by tho name.oi ". this induced Inspector Broiiam to 4 pn.oß telo^raph a ■description of the gang to Neis'oli} hoping it miglit correspond with that of. ths parties who wore under arrest there. Between one and two o'clook a telegram was received in apsweu, whioh w,e have tho opportunity qf publishing "' in ojttens^'-^-" Nelson,, Juno2ls£ 1$ p.ni. . : The men now hvcustodjr tire Kelly! Burgess, Sullivan, ana Loyi, under remand for suspected murder in this province." Tbis led to a roply from Inspector Broham, whioh was duly answered as follows :—": — " 3.16 p.m , Kolly & Co. are at prosout remanded till Saturday j but wo do uot intend to let them go." Suoh an assurance was, doubtless, quite in accordance with tho wishes of Mr Broham, who atoned despatched officers provided with the necessary warrants.to Nelsoh.p'pr jKerihedy, ana, we ex« cce(|ipgly regret- hfirunaydld'abld detentifljtt through the weathor ; for on their arrival there some light will be in all probability thrown upon the mysterious disappearance of Mr Dobson. It appears that the departure of this gang for Nolson was strongly suspected by our police, as the latter had hoard that a plot, was organised by .somp of tlie.Gfrey deJK poradoes to rob the Oollingwood Bank. Of this tho .Nolson authorites .received immediate intimation, and being thus placed upon the 'UWi IV J v 6." * olo^ e wa -toli wds kept; wHidH doubtless in a great measure led to the arrest of the four men for Buspocted murder. Had they romained at large thoro is not the slightest doubt that tho bank would have been. vißited in duo course, as they were evidently jpurnoying overland and making for Colling" wood". r>i ; '-->„ /. .-
