cars were derailed without any particular
| damage. The track and plaDking at the
crossing were torn up, while several feet OF
concrete sidewalk cracked to pieces. The
wreck train came up from Lyndonville and
the men worked till about two O'Clock the
next morning clearing the track. The
cause of the derailing is thought to have
been the bursting of the air brake.
Sheriff R. D. Stanuard has been instru-
mental in breaking up a gang OF robbers
that have been infesting the county for
week or ten days. To begin with Kirk
patrick and Macdiarmid's grocery and
hardware store at Newport was broken
into Saturday night, April 8, and some
checks were secured. Last MONDAY night
the stores of Brown & Skinner, Twombly
| q Cotton and Mrs E. r. Miller were bro
ken into, and S15 so in cash and three rail-
road mileage books were taken from
| Twombly and CoIton's, seventy five cents
in coppers from Brown & Skinner and
little change from Mrs. Miller's. The
thieves were spotted by their trying to get
their checks which they had stolen from
the Newport store, cashed by local mer-
chants One of the checks had been issued
by Blair & DeLarm to one Gero who had
endorsed it and paid it to kirkpatrick &
Macdiarmid. Suspicious were directed to
PerIey Grant, Delbert King and Frank
King by their having these checks and
mileage books in their possession, and by
their peculiar actions of late. Grant and
Delbert King were arrested Tuesday in
Irasburg and Frank King was arrested
Thursday in Coventry, by Sheriff Stannard,
and they were taken to Newport jail to
await a hearing before Justice Cushman.
One night before the breaking-in at New
port the Chandler & Co. mill office at Iras-
burg was broken into and a tool chest
pried open and a number of drills, bits,
etc., taken away. 1t Is now thought 1t
was the same gang that has operated in
these two other sections, and perhaps got
this class of implements, thinking they
would be handy in their scheme of rob-
!, berries. Since their arrest the thieves tell
the story of how they had planned to
break into Seaver's store at Barton next;
and Sheriff Stannard thinks they would
have visited Barton the Tuesday night
!. they were arrested, as they were rem
dezvousing at Kings home that day when
the first arrest was made. These men are
considered to be the principals in the
crimes, but suspicious point to other par
ties in Coventry as accompltces. The
hearing had been set for Friday afternoon,
: but had to be postponed because of Justice
Cushman's absence.
