CRIMINAL CHASED
Through Marsh and Fen at Isle La
Motto and Finally Caught.

Shortly before the arrival OF the
three o'clock train for the south at Isle
LA Motto station Wednesday afternoon
of last week, word was passed around
among the 10 or Is spectators present
some of whom were to take the train,
that the bic, strapping fellow that had
been sitting in one corner Oh the sta-
ton, apparently asleep, was fugitive
from Justice from somewhere up the
lime of the Ogdensburg and Lake
lCbamplain railroad in New York
state and that 800 was offered for his
capture.
This put the courageous ones on
mettle all eager for the money, but
only one man being present that
seemed at all match tor him II was
decided to await the arrival Of the
passenger train Tor Burlington and see
what would develop, the big fellow In
the meantime walking mp and down
the track. The train being on time
the fellow at once boarded il on the
rear platform and at the same time
Chief of Police Charles Rhodes Of
Mooers Junction, y. Y, who barely
stepped off and ran into the depot,
| boarded the same car at the other end
Just in time to see his man 60 out the
rear car door and over the wire fence,
taking a bee line for the swamp west
of the station, followed by station
Agent Bohannon, Officer Rhodes and
c. p Hazen in the rear.
w. X. Blair, also known as William
Southwick, of Mooers Forks, the man
wanted by Officer Rhodes, made good
time till he reached the marsh when
he threw offhis heavy fur coat, then a
lighter one and struck for the highway
leading TO Henry Wedgeworth's.
When about half way across the marsh
Mr.. Bohannon caught up with him,
but as it was POS pounds against l25
Bohannon gave up the job OF trying 10
hold him until officer Rhodes could
catch up and started back to the depot
after q team, the officer and G. 7.
Hazen holding to the trail and when
the fellow was a few rods from
Mr. Wedgeworth's barn Loren Wedge
worth and Mr. BohannOn drove up,
the fellow taking 30 the field hotly pur-
sued by B0hannon and Hazen, with
Officer Rhodes in the rear.
Blair ran only a few rods on the
meadow when be faced his pursuers,
threw up his hands and said Boys,
I'll give up and while the three stood
putting the officer came up, placed the
handouts on him and the race was
over. The five men then jumped into
Loren Wedgeworth's single wagon
and were driven 10 the depot where for
some time the matter was talked over,
the prisoner declaring that he wouldn't
have hit Mr.. Bohannon because he was
so small, which brought out a round
of laughter from all present.
Blair, alias Southwick, is charged
with felony and threatening life and
was taken back to Mooers Junction on
the six o'clock train north The Off
Ger had been after him over a month,
The night before his arrest he stayed
az farm house in Isle La Motto,
where a telephone message was sent
that put the officer on the right track.
Southwick came direct from the Island
to Isle La Motto station and had
ticket all bought with the intention OF
going south.

Bro. Battell has added to his scien-
title and sociological exploits a solu-
ton of the problem of dreams. He
finds an intimate connection between
these passing fancies of sleep and the
soul. It's too bad to drop from poesy
to realism, but it has commonly been
supposed that the connection between
mince pie and nightmare had been so
well established as TO account for at
least this phase OF the subject.

The Buffalo police and detective
force has a genuine mystery to I'M
ravel in the case OF Burdick, who was
murdered in his own home at dead
of night, by some unknown visitor
who carefully concealed every clue be-
hind him-or her. The sleuths are
baflled, and in their extremity have
made several false moves and done
much careless talking that has resulted
in grievous wrong to individuals
shown to be unworthy of suspicion
when due means were taken to learn
the truth. Our modern detective is
many times a menace and a him
drance to the cause of justice. Burn
ing to distinguish himself by some
grand coup, he forms his theories and
makes the facts fit them as well as he
can, then causes the arrest of the sus-
pected one, preferably someone of
prominence in the community, so as
to make more startling sensation.
The prisoner is detained for weeks
and months, goes through the terrible
ordeal OF a trial for his life and is
found guiltless. But he can never
repair the wrong that has been done.
He is victim of perverted justice.
1t seems as il some protection should
be given or some remedy devised
to guard against the mistakes or worse
of men holding brief authority.

The tide of travel along the
Connecticut will turn from one direc-
ton to the other, we suppose. In
stead of thirsty Vermonters going
over the river for their toddy, they
will drink at home and invite their
friends across. The indications are
that New Hampshire, too, win shortly
abandon prohibition, which has been
nothing but farce in operation there.

The coal strike has been a good
thing for Vermont in more ways than
one. The people were obliged to burn
wood, and thus large sum of money
has been put in circulation here in
stead of being sent out of the state.
More than this, many people have pur-
chased improved wood stoves and
have found that wood is cheaper to
burn than coal even at old prices. 1t
is safe to say there will be less coal and
more wood burned in the future in
Vermont and the state will benefit
thereby Middlebury Register.
Undoubtedly it has cost Vermont
less for fuel this winter than usual, and
more of the money has stayed in Yer
mont.

advised to do so by his bishop on
account OF the nature OF the duties
required. which, Bishop Hall thought
would conflict with and render less

position of clergyman in public life
is not enviable. If he mixes in seeu-
lar matters so as TO become prominent,
be meets the criticism that his place
is not in politics. but in the pulpit.
If he abstains altogether, he is ac-
cused OF being careless Of his duty

During the referendum campaign we
were told that the question was not as
TO licensed saloons at all, but was
merely the matter of giving to each
city and town the right of settling the
issue for itself; that very many would
vote for local option who would never
vote eyes when it came to their own
town. Yet we have seen how this
prediction failed. We have seen near
ly ninety of Vermont's cities and
towns, with a considerable majority OF
the population, voting ''yes, )" and it is
noticeable that as a rule the voting this
month followed very closely along the
lines of the voting in February. So il
was not a mere abstract proposition in
to wit, the local option
per Sc, that the voters were
imbued with, but a more tangible de-
sire, to wit, that of the chance to buy
liquor right at home under sanction of
law. Local option was merely the
means to this end. It served as a good
mask, but on being struck, gave forth
4 hollow sound. Local option has
merit, rs a method of regulating the /
liquor traffic, but it was not the vital
question involved by any means.
There are other matters that the same I
could be invoked for, but
lot the slightest interest could be
Iroused for it in these ways.

A WORD OF EXPLANATION.

We feel that it is duet he Prohibi-
tionists of the State and Judge L.
Brame also, that few words touch
ing his resignation of the chairman
ship of the executive committee of the
Prohibitionists of the State, be said
in these columns. 1t has been pub
lished in the papers generally that
Judge Brame was appointed chairman
of above committee by DR.. L. T. Fitz-
hugh, chairman of the recent Prohi
bition Mass Meeting. More than a
week ago, this committee held its first
meeting, at which Judge Brame re-
signed the craftsmanship, and DR.. w.
7. Lowrey was elected to fill the va
cancy. The Prohibitionists of the
| State are entitled to know why the
Judge resigned. The ground of his
resignation are simply these: Since
his appointment to this distinguished
position, he has determined to make
the race for Attorney General of the
State. He saw at once that he could
not give himself to an active canvass
throughout the State, aid at the same
time do the work on the committee
that the situation demands.
There are two things that every one
ought to fix in his mind. /. That
he resigned the Craftsmanship, not
membership, of the committee, be-
cause he could not do the necessary
work. 2 That he was unwilling
that the enemies of prohibition should
accuse him of holding the position to
ride into office on. Though he has
resigned the craftsmanship, he Will dc
valuable service on the committee.
1t might just as we'll be said here
that he friends of law and order and
citizenship could not do better thar
to support this distinguished gentle
man in the race he is making. HI
can show a fine record in his opposition
to all forms of lawlessness and debau
cherry, aside from his record of more
than 80 years as a lawyer. The
