Bold Theft Of Horse from Square
Monday Night
BY Use Of Telephone Thief Was Arrested
and Horse Recovered Near Keene Four
Hours Later.


and Horse Recovered Near Keene -Four
Hours Later.
An unusually bold case of horse stealing
occurred Monday night in the square,
and by very credtabe and prompt work
upon the part of the police force, Chief
Thompson and officer Mcdonald, the
team was recovered and thief arrested
about a mile below Keene at 230 the
next morning.
About o'clock Charles L. Holden, who
is living in a cottage at Barber park,
and erecting a box factory at Cages
Mills, went to the town clerks office to
discuss the purchase of some timber
lands. He hitched his horse in front of
the building. and was detained until
about ten o'clock, when he found the
team had disappeared. He reported the
matter to Chief Thompson, and after as
pertaining that the horse had not become
loose and gone home the service of the
telephone to all surrounding places was
at once brought into play The first news
of the team was found through some one
coming from Alstead, who had met such
turnout near Cold River going toward
Keene.
The Keene officers were talked with
and about 2. a. m. they heard a team
driving rapidly down Main street toward
the south but could not stop it in the
darkness. They procured a team and
followed, finding the thief in a farmers
yard a mile or so out engaged in chang
ing his horse into another buggy, to
throw any pursuers off the track. He
was promptly arrested and officer
Thompson notified. He went to Keene
at $50 and brought his man back at noon.
He was brought before Justice c. H. Will
liams Tuesday and held for county court
In $500 bail. This he could not furnish
and he was taken to Jail at Newfane
ecuted and 7. Z. O'Brien defended him.
The man proved to be James Sullivan.
81, and said to be from Springfield, Mass.
Officers from that city were here We'd
nesday and fully identified him as one
who stole a team at Springfield Sunday
and came north with it. He confessed
to them and told them they would find
the rig in Florence, Mass. He came into
Bellows Falls on a freight train Monday
morning about 4. and spent the day
largely among the saloons of North Wal
pole, At the time he took the team and
when arrested he was somewhat under
the influence of liquor.
He has been employed the past few
years by different parties in the care of
trotting horses upon various courses
south of here. L. c. Lowell recognized in
him a man whom he had seen various
times in that capacity, particularly last
year at the Holyoke races. The man
had not overdriven the horse, ii being in
good condition, and was returned at once.
He had consumed over four hours in the
trip of about % miles. Three miles south
of Walpole, near the farm house of Mr..
Maxwell, he evidently got out of the
road and partially tipped over. as the
cushion, blanket and other things were
found there the next morning.
Altogether it was a case of quick and
creditable work upon the part of our
police department, demonstrating the
value of the telephone as a protection
against crime. ~

School Gardens.

The United States Department of
Agriculture is circulating widely
throughout the State a bulletin issued
this month on THE School Gardens"
which contains outlines Of two classes
of work which are adopted for the
rural and for the city school yards.
Those who are charged with the
direct presentation of school garden
work to children will recognize that
the point of view for city children
must be different from that for coun-
try children. AS a rule, children in
rural districts are familiar with the
fundamental operations of the garden
preparation of the soil, planting the
seed, and the cultivation and harvest
ing of the ordinary garden and farm
crops.
But for the city children the growth
of the plant is like the discovery of
a new world, and the application of
the simple operations involved in the
maintenance of the individual garden
containing flowers is full of wonder
for them.
This bulletin can be obtained upon
application to the National Depart
ment of Agriculture.

Japan Cool. Confident.
(By the Associated Press. )

L
Toxic. April 27.-(4 p. m.)-The
movements of the squadron com
manded by Admiral Rojestvensky
and the intentions of the Russian
commander continue to be the sub
ject of general interest and specula-
ton. The last Japanese reports are
conflicting and confusing. They do
not indicate definitely the purposes of
Rojestvensky, but it is evident the in
tention of the Russian admiral to
await a junction with the division
commanded by Admiral Nebagotoff
which increases the probability of his
intention to give Admiral Togo de-
cisive battle. 1t is believed that the
location and date OF the engagement
will depend entirely on RojeStVensky.
The Japanese defensive plans are
concealed with absolute secrecy. The
people are confident of success owing
to the superiority in number and
strength of the armored cruisers of
Japanese which it is believed with
counter balance the Russian superior
ity in battleships.
The prospective junction of the
fifth Russian division with the other
divisions of the Russian squadron and
the disadvantage at which Japan is
placed owing to the shortage of bat
tleships apparently cause no appre-
hension here. The Japanese rely on
their superiority in mobility, person
mel and morale and on the condition
of their warships to bring them vic
tory Extending the comparison be-
yond the first line of battle it is ar
gued that Japan possesses prepon-
dcrating and valuable advantage in
lighter cruisers, torpedo boat destroy
ers, torpedo boats and submarine
boats.
The proclamation of martial law
i'm the island of Formosa, which is
strongly and extensively defended is
the only public announcement of the
defensive steps taken by Japan. The
public does not know the location OF
Togos squadron, the officers and men
having ceased communicating with
their families and friends.

others are buried. Six people were
rescued from the debris, all badly in
jured, and three of them will prob
ably die. Those probably fatally in
jured are: Hall Ross, Frank Bales and
Ida Stafford.
The explosion was the result of the
ignition of escpaing natural gas. APP

hurled hundreds of feet. Practically
every plate glass window within a
block was broken. Both the adjoin-

of the naval staff, Vice Admiral Nebo-
gotoff, who left Jibutil, French
Somaliland, March %, if he has been
making 200 knots per day should
reach Singapore tomorrow and could
not unite his division with Vice Ad-
miral Rojestvensky in Tonquin Bay
until May 5. The general opinion is
that their juncture is assured on the
theory that Admiral Togo would not
dare to risk sailing south to meet
Nebagotoff since by SO doing he would
leave the way to Vladivostock open
