men have been securing the woods and
hills all around here last evening and
today looking for some one who might

The local comment by police and others
is to wonder at the hind sightedness
which would lose the opportunity of
having men on the spot. or in the
neighborhood when the time for the
train to come should arrive and catch
the man in the act of stopping the
train instead of permitting him to see
that mis- game was lost and give him
q chance to take to the woods He un-
doubtedly knew every foot OF the sur
rounding territory and could readily
make his escape whereas his pursuers
were at the disadvantage of having to
step out Of a lighted train into the
darkness and then start OF in strange
wilderness to look for some one they
did not know.
