Quechee, Sept. 21.-It is now gen.
orally thought that the bold burglars
who held up Scott Tinkham and rob-
bed him of several hundred dollars,
were two Quechee boys, Fogg and
Cowdery who were born and raised
here, but who left some time ago for
parts unknown. The officers are said
to have recognized both of the boys.
There is little doubt but that they
came from Rutland where they hired
a covered carriage to go to Proctor
but instead Of going there they start
EAdnvaE the mountain. and were seen
in Bridgewater. The Rutland officers
were hot on their trail but missed
them. The officers came on to Wood
stock while the boys struck over the
hills through Barnard from Bridge
water. through East Barnard and
Pomfret to Quechee, leaving the car
riage somewhere on the way and rid
ing the horses into the outskirts of
this village the night of the robbery.
The carriage was found in the woods
near the Boyd place between Tafts-
vile and Woodstock where the boys
had left it. The Standard gives the
following account Of the fight with
the officers
.'Otlicer Thomas went to Jones Sta
BILE, got team and Happy to drive
it, and started to meet them. AS
they came to the low stretch of road
beyond H. f. Sherwin's, they espied
man on horseback at the upper side OF
the road, and Thomas got out to inves-
tigate. He approached the horseman,
and by the light of his lantern dis
covered the other one just behind.
The leader tried to ride past, but vas
commanded to halt. AT the same
time Thomas seized his wrist, where
upon the other man Shouted, c.
d--you, let go of him or III drop
you!' HorsemanNo. l, answered, Shoot
him! Shoot him. and at the same
time fired. The ball put out Officer
Thomas lantern and passed downward
through his fur coat and lodged in the
side pocket of his inner coat; where it
was found with a piece of the brass
burner imbedded 10 it. The four men
all began firing then, In the dark, and
the horseman slid from his horse and
took to the Rhodes meadow. The
other fellow started up the road, but
abandoned his horse in the meadow,
and officer directed Happy to come to
the village and give the alarm, while
he rounded up one of horses to prevent
it's recapture by the bandits, and the
other ran to the village, where it was
caught. Parties of men from this vii
lage, Bridgewater and Quechee were
out the rest of the night searching
The horses have since been identi-
fed by Rutland parties.
