William BOlden and Ambrose Nelson Were
fishing in Charters creek near the toll gate
during the afternoon. When they re
turned 10 where their horse and buggy
were standing az the road, they found the
buggy occupied by four men, all OF them
Young.
When Bolden and Nelson came up TO the

Bob Ashmore. q big, stout, red-faced
driuer i'm the employ of Isaac NllletS, read
the story of the crime IN this morning pa
pers. He went 10 his work al Taylorstown
on the . o'clock train. AT Taylorstown he
heard these stories repeated about 1.-THE
Young fellows with the yellow dog, y who
were certainly in the neighborhOOd of the
toll gate at about the time Of the
cowardly deed. Mr.. AShmore was
told that the gang and the vel
low dog were near the reste ON the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, short dis
tance from TaylOrstOwn, and ne telephoned
for instructions. District Attorney Parker
directed him 10 arrest them on suspicion.
W. B. Mcbride and :. y. Naudegrift were
ready 10 help. AShmOre walked over TO-
ward them a little in advance OF the others.
Two Young men were there sure enough
with the yellow dog McBride and Van
rlift were there in moment,
and Mcbride drew his revolver and
flashed il in their faces. Handouts We're
brought out and the fellows We're secured
without a struggle. BY hasty search, a
32-calibre revolver was found on the older
of the TWO. Their captOrS brought their
prisoners in on the 8: :G o'clock train TINS

followed them up the street, and when II
was declared that the probable murderers
of Mrs Sanders had been arrested, excite

five people including the District Attorney
nushed into the small room. and a tremend-
0us crowd of four hundred gathered IN the
street Ii was difficult 10 get the important

PARTIALLY IDENTIFIED.
Late this afternoon the Sheriff and pO-
lice officers drove out 10 the toll house at
Toledo postoffice The two prisoners were
taken before Mrs. Saunders. She was
perfectly calm aud collected; for TWO min
utes she gazed steadily AT the suspected
first at one and then at the other. They
bore the scrutiny of her searching look
without a visible tremOr.
Il think that's one of the men, Mrs.
Saunders declared, pointing at Teater,
the older one. Il cannot say
about the other one; one OF them
walked in q peculiar manner Sheriff
Lockhart had each of them walk across the
room. The cait of the boy Darr certainly
was peculiar on account of a weakness
Ofhis back. The identification was not 40
solutely positive, but titwas very satisfactory
10 the District Attorney. The prisoners
were again brought 70 town and put be-
hind the oars iu separate cells The yellow
coon dog which figures i'm the case IS dead.
Policeman Charles Greer had him IN
charge. He tied him TO fence
ir his back yard this after
noon. and when Greer went 10
feed the dog 40 o'clock he found the dog
hanging from the chain with life quite eX-
t.ucr The dog had knocked OF palilng
and Jumped through the opening twisting
the chain and hanging himself. whether
or not it was suicide is discussed by the
local students of natural history.
