Thought They Were Tracking Dempsey

The talk concerning the attempt which
it is believed the three young desperadoes
who assaulted Joseph N. Houghton near
Brattleboro planned to make an escape
from the Newfane Jail, has brought to
light the fact that the local police believed
that they had Dempsey cornered here at
the time he was captured near the Vermont
line. When the Brattleboro police had taken
Welsh and Blake and knew that Dempsey
had started in this direction, a message
was sent to the police of this town to be
on the lookout for him.
The two night officers went down to the
railroad yard to watch for the first freight
to come in from the north. When II drew
into the yard they stationed themselves in
positions so that when it stopped, one
would be near the front and one near the
rear of the train. AS the freight slowed
up man jumped from one of the cars
and scurried off into the darkness Sup
posing it to be Dempsey, both of the Off
GERS gave chase, but the man escaped.
They then set watch on the house where
Dempsey's mother lives, believing that he
was either hiding there, or would 90 there
within few hours after reaching town,
They were greatly surprised to hear little
later that he had been captured at North

PROPOSED LOOP.
Com mm ~ toner's Asked to- Solve Prob
lem for Railway Companies.

Mr.. G. T. Dunlop president of the Capital
Traction Company, recently wrote the Dis
trict Commissioners relative TO the plans
submitted by him for proposed loop at
the Peace monument and for the readjust-
ment of tracks on c street and the location
of tracks on 1st street, noting that the
plans for the loop had been approved by
the Commissioners and that the others had
been disapproved Mr.. Dunlop stated that
his company Immediately took the matter
up with the president of the metropolitan
and City and Suburban Railway Companies
and tried To reach an agreement with him
on another set of plans. He failed TO do
so, however and Mr.. Dunlop thereupon
submitted the matter to the Commissioners,
asking them to locate the necessary tracks
on street, together with switches connect
ing the tracks of his company and those OF
the Metropolitan. He also asked the Com
mssiorers to locate the track on 1st street
northeast, together with the necessary con-
nection with the track of the Metropolitan
company at 1st and b streets northeast and
that with the City and Suburban tracks at
1st and c streets northeast.
With. his letter, Mr.. Dunlop submitted
plans showing connections that might be
made and another plan for the tracks and
connections on street northwest, together
with plan of the tracks and connections
G street northeast, requesting the Com
miSSionerS to take the whole matter into
considera ton and determine the way these
tracks should be located and connection
made in accordance with the provisions of
the act of Congress approved June 4. 1900.
Capt. Beach, the Engineer Commissioner,
who has immediate supervision of the mat
ter has recommended to his associates that
the last plans submitted by the Capital
Traction company be approved. and that
the application of the Metropolitan COM
pany to construct a curve on switch lead
ing from street into 1st be also approved.
Capt. Beach's recommendation will, il is
understood, receive the approval of his as
sociates, and the necessary permits will
then be issued upon the usual conditions,
the Metropolitan company to use the new
track to be built by the Capital Traction
company on 1st street northeast between B
and G.
