Thad Chapman was notified, who tclc-
1 graphed to Sheriff Dunshcc, and set To
work to trace the fugitivcs. He traced
them to Belden's Falls, where be lost
them. II was thought likely bv MANY
who knew him that the redoubtablc
horse thief would get beyond reach, his
former exploits In the same line being
remembered. Late Tuesday Afternoon,
the news came that both had been cap
tured al Chimney Point in Addison. Mr..
Dunshcc had done all In his power to
get upon the track of the birds, but as
II happened, their capture was by par
ties who had not heard of their escape,
and was hence in some measure acct
dental. IL seems that after getting
away from the jail Monday afternoon,
they went north TO Belden's Falls, where
they crossed the Greek and turned west.
They spent Monday night at the barn, of
Lyman johnson in Bridport. In the
morning they went TO the house of M.
Q. Carpenter, near Johnson's, who gave
them a breakfast. They then went TO
the lake near L. Bailey's, and finding a
boat fastened at the shore they broke
the lock and pushed off. Mr.. Bailey
had seen their approach and watched
them, and seeing this unwarranted pro-
ceeding he at once notified Charles
Scott, the owner of the boat. Mr.. Scott
straightway went to the scene and Or
dered them to bring back the boat. They
didn't see it. Mr.. Daniel Howe was
out fishing some distance away in a
boat belonging to Mr.. Bailey, and Mr..
Scott requested him to row ashore as
soon as possible. The fugitives there
upon concluded that they were not suf-
ficiently acquainted with the oars to
run a race with MIR. Scott, and gave up
and came ashore. Mr.. Scott demand
ed pay for the broken lock, and on be-
ing answered that they had no money,
told Emory he would give him Click
ing" unless he paid, finally telling EN-
DRY he would take his coat. While
this discussion was going on Davis had
left, going north little ways. EN-
DRY refused to give up his coat, and on
Mr.. Scott making demonstrations to
enforce his claim, he SUDDENLY picked up
stone and struck him about the head.
bruising him and backing his eyes.
Mr.. Scott, though taken unawares, vim
dicated his reputation as man of mus
Gle by throwing Emory and choking
him into submission. They finally
compromised by Emory pulling of his
vest and giving it to Scott. lie then
went to join Davis. Mr.. Scott investi-
gated the pockets of the vest and found |
some papers with Emory's name on
them, and went to see Mr.. Bailey. |
They concluded that the fellows must |
be Jail birds, and decided to 90 after
them. They ent by Marshall Smiths,
where Phelps Smith joined them, fur
nshing team. On arriving at Frank |
Roberts ferry at Chimney Point, they
found them trying to make arrange
ments to cross The lake. The pursu-
ers called Constable Chas. Barnes, I'M
der whose direction the capture was eff.
fected. On their approach Davis hid
under a canal boat, but Emory start
ed off on a run with Mr.. Scott after
him. The pursuers had large dog
with them which they set after him,
and Emory concluded to give up
the race. When they told him they
would take him and his companion in
charge to return to Jail, he denied that
he was Emory and gave another name.
They picked up Davis and tied the two
together with bed cords. Mr.. Bailey
was sent ahead of the party to have
Constable Grovenor of Bridport meet
hem with handouts, and OH their arr
val at Bridport Mr.. Grovenor slipped
these ornaments on their wrists and
started for Middlebnry. Meanwhile
Officer Smith of Port Henry had heard
Of the capture and telegraphed to Sher-
ii Dunshee, but without giving partic-
nlars except the place of capture.
The sheriff and Deputy Gorham at
once started for Bridport. They met
he party with the prisoners near the
Dana place, but drove by without SEEM
ing TO recognize tire prisoners. Mr..
Grovenor supposed they would turn
around and follow him, but they drove
straight on. Emory remarked that
he sheriff had "got too big to
notice neighbor." Mr. Grovcnor
shouted TO them to turn back, when
hey began to comprehend, and re-
urned. Mr.. Dunshec took Emory In
% his wagon, the latter afiably offering
him an apple after he got seated. The
party reached town about seven O'Clock
Tuesday evening, and the prisoners
were returned to their old quarters.
The failure of Sheriff Dunshee and
Deputy Gorham to recognize prisoner
whose face must be familiar to them,
not little amusement to
The ungoaly who heard of it. Emory
Is said to take his recapture as coolly as
ever.
