who escaped from Jail on the 25th inst
are still at large, although a considera-
BILE effort has been made TO capture
them. They were very bold in their
operations. After leaving the White
swamp south of our village, they evil
IDENTIFY crossed the OX-bow bridge over
the creek and took a northeastern course
TO the Seelev place, thence east TO the
poor house, where they stole two horses.
then they crossed the bridge over Mid
dlebnry river going south TO the KELSEY
place, then turning east again until they
arrived at Dushan's mothers house.
They stopped few moments and re.
celved coat, loaf of bread and n re-
volver, and started back on their return.
They feared TO return by way of the
poor-house, as possibly an alarm might
be given. They took a road and came
out by John Halliday's and thence made
their way to the east of our village and
turned the horses loose, reseryinp tbe
blankets, evidently thinking they might
be made useful. II is said that Emory
went to his fathers and procured coal
and other articles and left. The latest
news from them seems to be that on
Sunday night last they brought up at
the Addison Junction across The lake ot
Ticonderoga and broke into the depot
and stole some money and left. Sheriff
Dunshee and his deputy, Darwin Rider
nave been following their track, and if
the birds escape their cluthes they will
be lucky. If caught they will soon be
harnessed and on their way toward
home.
LATER. As expected, Dushan was Ia

Salisbury, while he was making his way
to his mothers house to procure food.
lie has evidently had a hard time of It,
as he looks haggard and poor. 1t seems
that the night on which he left the iail,
they went through the swamp and
crossed the TEree-mile bridge at about
II o'clock NJ, crossed over through the
lots until they came out to the old Per-
kins tavern stand, and stopped until
dark in a barn near by. Then thew
went south to the town farm and stole
two horses and went south to Kelsey's.
and up the hill east to the house of
Dushan's mother, obtained part of n
loaf of bread, a coat and revolver and
left, not going into the house but mo-
ment. They then went north and
reached the village at about IL O'Clock
p. NJ, left the horses on the edge of the
village, and went to Emory's fathers
house. Emory entered and procured
coat or two and some bread, they then
passed down the road to the railroad
crossing, going north to the old Paper
mill bridge, and crossed over and
turned south in the road to the school
house near DR.. Blanchard's, and STAYED
until towards morning. Then they took

the morning, passed Samuel Andrews
house, Emory saluting him with good
morning, and passed OH. They then
took a road south until they came to
road leading west towards the lake, and
on Sunday morning crossed in a boat
that they found on the shore. They
slept Sunday night in barn near the
Addison Junction, and on Monday saw
Mr.. Rider and Mr.. Trip looking about
the depot, as it had been broken open
and robbed during the night. During
the day they started out and went
north, and fell in with another fugitive
by the name of Clark who had been in
Middlebury Jail, and the party lodged
along north keeping the lots and woods,
but soon found handbills were ahead of
them and returned south on the freight
cars, Dushan not getting of until he
arrived at the Addison Junction. He
then crossed the bridge and went east
until he arrived at home on the Plains,
where he was taken. Emory is still on
the west side of the lake, and Mr.. Rider
and Trip are over there, and confident
Of his capture.
