Johnsbury, Victory, Burke, Sutton ard
northward. The team was found about
20 miles from Montreal last week Wed

The boys had attracted attention all along
the road, and in a number of towns they
were questioned with reference to the
team. At one house in Burke they APP
piled for lodging and the request was

lying and that they had stolen the horse.
