POLICE CATCH A BURGLAR
OHicer Fisher Finds Frank Davis In
Queen City Market Early
Tuesday Morning.

The police gobblod another burglar with
the goods on him Tuesday morning about
one O'Clock in the Queen City market on
College street, which he had entered by
means of n window in the rear of the
store. 1t is thought that the man. who
gave his name Frank Davis. Is also
| the author of the Lunderville burglary
| of "a few days ago, as the manner IN
which he worked the game closely cor
responds to that practice then.
| The credit for the detection OF the thief
| belongs to Policeman Fisher, who was
making a round of his beat during his
| spare minutes. instead Of waiting for
his regular trip, and who found the glass
| in a window broken. He then waited for
some one to come along and as soon as
| assistance arrived, a guard was estab-
lished at both the front and the rear
doors. To prevent the necessity OF break
ling through the doors, one of the EN-
ployes of the store was sent for and just
as he arrived in an automobile. DAVIS
called out that If the police would not
shoot, he would come out.
The thief was found to have appro-
priated II cents which he found In the
cash register and to have also ar
ranged a lunch for himself He had
brought with him an onion and ham
was set out ready for serving.
Davis, who was clothed in garments
such as are worn by railroad men. said
that he had only arrived In the city
the day before from Canada but he
has been seen about the city for sew
eral days. He changed his name sew
eral times during the questioning a1t
has all of the ear marks Of an expert
enced crook.

RAILROAD SCHEME.
AROUSES INTEREST
dontpelier Has Long Wanted
Cross.State Line Charters
That Are Not Used.

Montpelier, Oct Capitalization in
nc Free Press of the purpose of the
Boston a. Maine to ask the Legislature
o charter railroad parallelng the
line of the Central Vermont from
Montpelier to Burlington has aroused
great deal of interest here. 1t has
been known that the Boston & Maine
hesired to secure trackage rights over
The Central Vermont between the two
tites. and 1t had been hoped that
building activities might be turned in
bnothcr direction.
Montpelier has long desired n cross :
State road. Charters have been secur-
ed for a line from Montpelier to Rut-
and and from Montpelier to Newport
Surveys of the Rutland route have been
made, and when the Boston e. Maine
acquired possession of the Montpelier
4 Wells River line it was hoped that
hat corporation might take up the
Montpelier-Rutland project. Local in
terests have kept the charter fees paid
up. have borne the expense of maxim
the surveys and have Investigated the
amount of business to he expected from
the community through which such a
road would run. but the corporation
has shown no special interest in the
matter. icePresident Byrnes met
some of the Montpelier men interested
in the project last winter but after
going over all the details gave them
little encouragement.
The Montpelier-Ne Newport proposition
langushes in the same manner. The
plans were that the present line Of the
Montpelier & Wells River be used a:
far as Marshfleld, and that construc.
ton would be required only from that
point to Newport. But with the Mont.
pelier & Wells River in the hands OF
the Boston & Maine the plan cannot
be carried out until the larger corpor.
alton Is convinced Of its advantages.
With the Boston & Maine seeking
an outlet at Burlington, the prospec
for cross-State road Is not good a.
present.
