20 do so on car 5l5 have, upon obsery-
ing the shield handle, turned when get

front Of them.
Men who have started 10 board the
car with the shields while IL has. been

many sections OF the county favorable

burglarized the postofiice at New
Albany May IL, 1901, and who was
captured at Troy, is now awaiting
trial at Jackson, Mich, for fhe
murder Of Sergeant Booth of the
police department. of that city.
The police there have written to
this state for particulars of Blair's
criminal career and say that while
there is no capital punishment in
Michigan, Blair will probably be
put away for life for his crine.
Blair was captured at Troy by q
posse in which Chief of Police Mil
Ter, Constable Gny G. Hollon, Con-
stable j. d. Waters and John Man
nix, all OF Towanda, were the head
and all of whom risked their lives
to put the handouts on the desper-
ate man they had run to cover.
Blair got i've years in the Western
penitentiary at Allegheny fof his
share in the New Albany job. At
the completion of that sentence he
was tried at Altoona for burglariz-
ing a bank at Bellefonte but the
man who gave the police thes tip
went back on them and Blair HAS
released.
