 The funeral of Miss Ida B. Wolfe was held at the Methodist church, Friday afternoon Three ministers of different denominations were present and officiat- ed Rev MT Walker, rector of Trinity church, Lime Rock, commenced the service by reading, which was followed by prayer by Rev D. M. Moore of the Congregational church. The sermon was preached by Rev B. N. Lewis. A full choir was present. Her age was 25 years and the interment was at the Grassy Hill cemetery. She had long been afflicted with that much dreaded disease, consumption, which she bore with calm resignation through the long period of her sickness. She was able to ride out on Sunday, but the following Tuesday death claimed her as it's own. Miss Wolfe was of an amiable disposition and made friends of all who came in contact with her. There was profuslon of flowers, comprising pillow of tube roses, white carnations and roses,a crown of tuberoses, carnations and sweet alys- sum, two wreaths, basket of pansies and three large and beautiful calla blos- soms. In an elegant white casket she seemed only asleep amid the floral treasures.
 The capture of Ida Wooster Colby, an accomplice of Wesley Colby in the raids hereabouts, was was stated in last week s NEWS. She confessed to being con- .federate and accompanied the sheriff and others to the place where the stolen property was secreted, going thither last Tuesday. It was found in the tower of Taghkanick, 16 miles from the Hudson river and some six or more miles west of Copake, making journey of 50 miles from here in one day. The goods brought from there were taken from Mrs Eno's cottage on Pine Grove camp ground and consisted of stove, bedding, etc. Four cottages on the grounds have been robbed and it is highly probable that all the property will be recovered. Some of the articles taken from farm houses, such as butter and dried beef, were buried on Falls mountain and were taken up by them and were in the wagon when they were caught last Tuesday. They had been at the camp ground twice recently and the tracks made by the horse were examined and it was discovered that one shoe was off. The trail was followed once or twice previously as far as the west side of Falls mountain and one of the places of concealment was one half mile north on that mountain, which was east of the farm owned by M. B. Richardson Four loads of stolen property have been re- covered and other plunder will be brought back from another locality. Mrs Colby implicated one Frank Haz- gard, negro who lives two miles below Millerton, and as he was witness on a horse thief trial at Litchfeld, Wednes- day, he was arrested and had a hearing, but as sufficient evidence to convict him could not be brought out he was hberat- ed, yet load of stolen property con- sisting of bedding, chairs and crockery and said to be owned by Mrs Jones o1 Chatham and taken from her cottage or the camp ground was found at his house. Several articles are in the pos session of Sheriff 0. M. Brinton awaiting identification by the owners, among which is jar of butter taken from MI Blake on the west side of the mountain and several things were found whlcl were taken from the schoolhouses in thu Grassy Hill district in this town and thu Asylum and Ticknor districts in Sails bury. The culprit was given hearing at the court room before Justice Gran dall, Wednesday, plead guilty and il default of 5000 bonds was sent to 1al to await trial at the October term of tn superior court. She having confessed to several of the thefts will probabl receive a light sentence, but Colby l now wanted Sheriff Brinton has bee engaged the past two weeks ln ferretlnl out the lurking places of these maraud CTS and many thanks from the inhab1 tants of this section are due him for tn successful crowning of his efforts wit the assistance of others which has bee achieved by their incessant labors i bringing about this result.
