plication was made by A. T.. Terhune,

lation today. 1t is On this property, or
very near it. where Montclair, Orange
and East Orange propose to locate a
sewage disposal plant.

who is deeply interested i the propo-
sition to locate the tanks within Belle

Mr.. Fredericks Is a contractor n
mason. and Mr.. Terhune has been in
various enterprises. They have been
raising pigs in Bloomfield since last
October. it was said today, by Mrs.

DEPUTY SHERIFF is JAILED
Fond Du Lac Officer, a ParoIed Pris-
oner, Alleged to Have Shot at
People While intoxicated

Fond du LaC.-Whateve the mer-
its of the ancient adage that cit
takes a thief to catch thief, Shell
don H. Barrett, on parole, following
his arraignment for alleged forgery
and subsequent conviction to four
years in state prison, was appointed
deputy sheriff.
Barrett was sent to Green Bay to
bring back James O'Hare. On the
trip down the deputy securely hand
cuffed his prisoners hands and went
to sleep on the soft cushions of
chair car. When they came to the
first station the prisoner got off.
When the sheriff awoke at Neenah
he also got off, but it was off the
water wagon. He fired a revolver
on the streets of that city and was
arrested on various charges associ-
ated with excessive drinking. AS
the case will be reported to the state
parole board, it is thought Barrett
will be forced to serve his four year
prison term.

except from an old colored man, wh0
told US that there was a travelling
party encamped about two miles from
town. l was in the advance guard,
who got this information, and We re-
ported it to the colonel.
I'VE made an advance to a point
from which we could see the camp
fire, and there we lay. Lieut.. Puring-
ton and twenty-five men were sent
around to the other side of the camp.
All was quiet until the morning be-
gan to come. Then we made a sud
den charge into the camp and took
them by surprise.
MY position in the line brought me
into the camp at the rear Of Darts
tent. With me was Private James
Billiard. Some horses were tethered
there, and we took two of them in
place of our own, changing the sad
dies to the fresh horses. Mrs. Davis,
l heard afterward, had come to the
door of the tent and asked the right
of privacy for the women that she
said were the only occupants. Soon
she came to the door again and passed
out with her old mother who was
dressed in a waterproof coat and a
shawl, and carried a tin pail. Mrs.
Davis said that the WANTED to go to
the brook for water, and the guard
let them pass.
'"They were not many rods from
the tent when l saw them. l said TO
Billiard, Those women ought not to
be leaving the camp and he. still
busted with his saddle, told me to go
on and not wait for him. l mounted
and rode up to the couple. l asked
where they were going and Mrs. Da.
Wis said that she was going to the
brook with her old mother to get
some water. The old mother had
the shawl pinned around her face so
that not much was visible, and the
waterproof coat was long. But the
dead grass was long, too, and as the
old mother held up the coat l saw
high top boots beneath it.
What's your old mother doing
with those boots on? l asked, and
brought my gun from half to full
cock as it lay across the pOmmel
pointing at the two.
Mrs. Davis heard the click Of the
hammer. Don't shoot!' she said, and
then Billiard came up and helped me
show them the way back. Davis
wanted to take off the shawl, but we
did not give him time. l found the
colonel and told him that I believed
we had taken JEFF Davis. The colonel
came up to where the prisoner was
and asked, What shall 1 call your
Anything you please said the pris-
oner. Z think I will call you Davis.
said Col Pritchard.
THE 4th Michigan and the 1st
wisconsin took Davis back to our
lines and I was one Of the guard that
went with him to Fort Monroe. Col.
Pritchard and I both made sworn
statements about the capture before
the secretary Of war. We saw moth
ing of the 1st Ohio regiment, who say
that they did the capturing"
