by a young horse, The animal be-
came frightened at slight but un-
usual noise and moving quickly
knocked the man down. Mr.. Flynn
fell under the horse which stepped
on one of his legs breaking both
bones between the knee and ankle.
Physicians were summonded and

es House of Correction Sentence.


Brattleboro. April 22.-After evad-
ing the officers once Monday evening
Guy Barber, a young desperate of
Newfane, who had threatened to kill
anyone who tried to apprehend him,
was finally captured about l O'Clock
this morning about two miles north
of this village on the track of the
West River railroad by Sheriff c. f.
Mann of this town and Deputy Sher.
III Earl Davis of Newfane. Barber
had terrorized his parents and the
entire neighborhood which resulted
In warrant being issued for his ar
rest by States Attorney A. V. ID.
Piper.
1t is alleged that Barber threaten
ed to shoot his parents and that he
has pounded his mother until her
body is covered with black and blue
spots. Barber was upstairs at his
fathers home when the officers arriv
ed but escaped by stepping out of a
window onto a roof and jumping 10
feet to the ground. The officers took
a loaded rifle and shot gun which
Barber left in his hurried departure
The officers went back to Newfane
for Deputies +. l.. Wellman and John
Mcdonald and on their return to the
house were told that Barber had
skulked back to the house, armed
himself with an axe and that he had
threatened to kill anyone who tried
to arrest him. The posse went to
places OF vantage about a mile north
of this village. Deputies Wellman and
Mcdonald being stationed on the
West River road, and Sheriff Mann

ter he was captured and before he
knew what he was wanted for Barber

lead to other information concerning
several breaks in this section.
