on the premises Of Mr.. Elias Bebe IN Alie-
rhenv township. several weeks prior thereto,
and after a violent and well-nigh fatal as
Sault on that gentleman, carrying away a
large SUM Of money belonging to an old man

pcion strJugiyc5nnecteda young man named
Frank Staib. of SuSGuChauna township, with
the body of the crime, but when the onnccrS
of the law repaired to his usual hauutS TO
effect his arrest, he was not TO be found.
Timely word that he was wanted had enabled
him to escape. lie was not heard from fOI
long time. but not many days ago his tenn
pOrary residence was discovered TO have been
taken up at point in Forest county twenty
five miles removed from a railroad and tele-

Monday and on Tuesday Sheriff trrlIhth Ic-
paired to Lock Haven, where the prisoner
was transferred TO his keeping. lie arrived
here the same day, when the last OF the Behe-
DUNN gang of burglars was put safely be

more than 20 years of age, but II all reports
are true his reputation as a member OF the
