LIFE IS SWEET.
Probable Reason Why Vermont
Murderers Are Uncaptured.
Man Hunt Getting to He Joke
Fugtttves Elude 200 or More
Armed Officers With the Greatest
Ease-NObody Shot as There Has
Been Nothing at Which to Shoot
So the Shertffs Say at Least.

MiddlebuIy, VT, May 1.-Two jail
oreakers-father and son. the Shaws--
who are extraordinarily good woodsmcn,
fugitives of the law and murdercrs of
Deputy Sheriff Hoffman, are proving too
smart for half the law officers of the
state. A wek aso they broke ont of
the Windsor county jail. and the pros
poets or their capture are very slim
They may get across the Canadian Dor
der, and trending to the eastward "
into the dense forests Cf northern Maine.
where they viii be safe from capture for
a long time.
Two hundred or more cOnstablts and
armed citizens of the state have followed
the trail, but the Shaws SEEM to have
the greatest ease in eluding capture. It
is intmated that the courage of the
deputy sheriffs is open to question. for
the reports from them too often agre,
that they almost cornered the ShaWs,
but wher they swOop'd down on the hid
ing place the men were not there. The
man hunt is getting to b" Il joke in
some places, for the Shaws are reported
at dozen places or more, II once. and
parties win dash out on false reports
with greatest alacrity, only to return
with no news.
Most of the people believe that the
Shaws will not allow m@elves to be
taken alive. ard this is one reason VIII?
some of the t. Md s"archnrs reach the
ShaWS' trail just too late to get tn"
quarry. Most of the hunting parties the
past two days haVr started out from
Middlebury. and as everyone is armed
h. impression would be conveyed to a
stranger that there were neighborhood
feuds in full blast Very little gun
powder has been burnt yet. but some
of the officers are learning more about
teh hills of Vermont than they ever knew
before.
The Shaws are thoroughly familiar
with this section "a the state. and they
appear to be working north under cover
of the hills. While they We're at Rip
ton Sunday night it is hardly thought
likely that the fugitives stayed there. yet
parties are still exploring that section.
Mr. and Mrs. George Flanders of Rip
ton, at whose house the Shaws obtained
food early Monday morning, have not
been arrested, although there are re-
ports that such action will be taken.
FLANDERS is cousin of Mrs. Shaw. and
his family connection undoubtedly
brought out sympathy for the men.
The sensational stories of people be-
ing shot at by either the Shaws or the
officers. and of Whole kennels of blood
hounds being turned loose on the coun-
trysidc are considered ridiculous. No
shots have been fired. as there has been
nothing to shoot at. and as for dogs. not
over half dozen have been used. and
these proved of no use, because it has
not been possible to find good trail
The Shaws are probably OF the east side
of the mountains. as they were wise
enough to leave the west side after the
killing of Deputy Sheriff Hoffman.

have spoken number of times of
the big tunnel for which the contracts
have just been placed and which is
one of the great contracts OF modern
times. But did you know that the
tunnel is new only in construction,
and old in conception? Thirty years
ago an attempt to build one was made.
A franchise was procured and start
was made and 900 feet of all expert
mental bore was made on Broadway,
where it remains to this day in as per-
feet condition as it was left. The
"beer tunnel" as it was called, was
built simply to overcome II popular
prejudice existing at that time among
New Workers, who were rather skep-
tical about underground railways.
The construction tunnel is almost
identical with that of the famous sub.
ways in London. The trains were
to have been operated by steam,
and it was intended to erect sta
tons at intervals Of third of n mile
along the ell ire route. Matters went
along until 1888, when the projectors
made an attempt to commence work
in earnest, but number of Broadway
real estate holders brought suit, and
the legal fight that ensued delayed
things for four years more. Then the
court of appeals handed down a final
decision against the tunnel people on
the grounds that the acts which con-
stituted the company were unconsti.
tutional This outcome made further
ATTEMPT to build impossible, and all
that remains Of the praiseworthy effort
is few old cuts and 200 feet of IN.
