The shops of Orange Densmore and
Chas. Z. Godfrey were entered by burg
lars Saturday night and quite an amount
Of tools were taken from each place UNI
doubtedly with the intention of using
them 10 open some of the stores. 1t is
thought to be tue same gang that was
here last fall and raided the town so nice
". for they broke into both places in the
same manner and stole the same sort of
tools. Two strangers were seen about
town in the evening evidently sizing up
the place 1t is thought they intended
to open j. b. Atwood's store, as they
were seen hanging around there and a
light as If n match was struck was seen
near the back door. This was one of the
few places when was not opened by them
last fall. There was too much going on
for them to do the job, il is thought Me
Elroy's Theatre Co. at the hotel hall did
not close till late and people were on the
watch about the stores till afte. o'clock.
so It did not give them much chance to
operate until TOO late. Sunday morning
Sheriff Collins started after them, rs two
men had been heard from ON the STRAIT
ford road, descriptions corresponding to
the two seen here Saturday night. He
was accompanied by A. j.. Stillwell, also
c. p. Dickinson and w. +. Townsend in
another team. They found the two men
they were in search of at the house OF a
man named PaiEe in Stafford. They
were eating dinner on the piazza. Mr..
Collins jumped from the wagonand made
his business known. The men at once
covered him with Il pair of AZ bull dog
revolvers; and kept him covered until
desirable distance was reached then
struck for the hills above the road. They
had the complete drop on our purity for
none had more of a weapon than peck
ct knife, EXCEPT Collins who had a short
% revolver. Help was Mt once summon
ed from STAFFORD village including two
young men named Hazelton and Chand-
Ter, the former had rifle. The burglars
we're pretty tired and could not make We
nv good time, while the boys were fresh. |
About two miles from the Paine place
Sheriff Collins ordered halt. The rifle
in the hands of Hazelton was brought TO
bear and the men held up, delivered their
weapons and gracefully received the
bracelets of the law. They were brought
here and lodged in Jail. The States At
tOrney has the case and hearing was
called Monday afternoon but by their re- /
quest was postponed until Tuesday morn /
ing. They gave their names as james
Foley and Carl G. Ekstrom. The form |
er is an lrishman of medium height aged I
about 40 wears, with breast and arms tat
tooed. The latter gave his age as 30 yrs.
and was born in Sweden. They. Dotn
wore black, SLOUGH hats, were comforta-
bly dressed and had ABOUT $40 in money.
Both said they had followed the sea. Mr..
Godfrey found part of the tools stolen
from his shop Sunday buried in the hay
1t Tracey's barn down by the Stanford
road and his bit-stock up that road sew
sral rods unoer some bushes. 1t is plain
hey staid in that barn part of the night.
None of the things taken from Densmore
laYe been found, and there may have
1een two parties and the others went an
,ther way and hid the tools where they
nave not been found, or carried them
With them. Mr.. Densmore says he has
sot through lending mis- bit-stock to trav-
ling men, who do not return il.
