TRAILED THEM THERE
Thaw Said He Was Making
for the Coast and Planned
to Sail for Europe-He
Was Recognized by Pic
lures

SOdtiCOOh, . Q., AuS. L.
Harry K. Thaw was arrested
near here last night and is being
held here as a fugitive from JUS
tice. Two companions who were
with him at the time were ar
rested and held for a time, but
no charge has been preferred
against them. Thaw admitted
his identity, but the names of
his companions were not Sc
cured.
Thaw was arrested by local of
ficers at the request of Deputy
Sheriff B. H. Kelsey of Cole
brook, New Hampshire, who saw
Thaw on a train last night and
later followed him here in an
automobile.
Although freely admitting his
identity, Thaw would not discuss
his whereabouts since Sunday
morning, except to say that he
took a train east of Boston. He
said he was making for the coast
and planned to sail for Europe.
Thaw did not appear greatly
disturbed by his detention, de-
Iclaring he had committed no
Icrime and could not be extra
ldited.
The police think that Thaw
took a train at Portsmouth.
While he was on the train, his
movements attracted attention
of Deputy Sheriff Kelsey, who
Irecognized him from his pic
Etures.
The stranger saw Deputy Sheriff Kel-
sey eyeing him and said:
"You don't know who / am"
Deputy Sheriff Kelsey said:
You're Thaw.v
The man admitted his identity and
said: Il cannot be extradited and it
would be waste of time for you to
interfere with me. I am going abroad
and will sail from Canada"
Thaw discussed with Deputy Sheriff
Kelsey what town it was best for him
to head for to connect with the Grand
Trunk railway for Quebec. He finally
decided to leave the train at therefore,
and cross to the Grand Trunk at the
line.
Deputy Sheriff Kelsey left the train
at Colebrook, as did one of Thaws COM
panions, and when the latter secured
an automobile the deputy sheriff got
another and followed
Meantime Thaw left the train at Here
fore and not finding the automobile
awaiting him awakened farmer and
hired him to drive to Coaticook. While
they were en- route, Deputy Sheriff Kel-
sey overlook the party, hunted up a
constable and had Thaw arrested and
brought to this place.
Thaw was taken later to the Jail at
sherbrooke to be held pending develop
ments. The authorities at Matteawan,
in reply to notification of the arrest,
asked that he be held for further in
structions. The prisoner has engaged
j. s. Shirtleiffe of Coateook as counsel
AT first Thaw denied his identity and
offered to bet the officers $40 that he
was not Harry Thaw, but later under
continued questioning he admitted his
identity and assumed an air of indif-
ference, declaring that he could not be
extradited
His two companions, who were taken
into custody and held for a time, were
later released, as the officers had no
charge against them. The men declined
to give their names and only meagre
descriptions of them were available.
John Hoolihan, head of the immigra-
tion department at Montreal, expressed
the opinion to-day that Thaw could and

4OO-ton cement silo has been
erected this year for the feeding of
dairy cattle,
From the Parma Land Co. farm
the excursion drove to the Carmel
ranch, where Manager O. W. Wal
lace took pride in showing his
alfalfa. Several hundred acres
have been sown, which makes five
tons to the acre on two cuttings.
The farmers were particularly in
terested in new alfalfa cultivator
made by the John Deere people
which is designed to cut out fox
tail The efficiency of this machine
was demonstrated in the appear
ance of the alfalfa which was clean
of foxtail. Mr.. Wallace was given
a great deal of praise in the man
ner in which he has kept up the
Carmel ranch.
When time for "the eats" arrived,
the party met d. E. Newcomb and
others from La Jara at Mr.. Seeley's
place on the Alamosa river, where
a picnic grounds and hot coffee
had been prepared and the noon
hour was greatly enjoyed by ALL
Mr.. Newcomb, who is an ac-
knowledged authority, gave an in
teresting lecture on dairying and
dairy COWS. At the Seeley place a
few acres have been devoted to ex-
perimental work and the different
varieties of grains, grasses and
vegetables make an attractive
study.
The trip was con tinued to La
Jara, through Bountiful, Manassa
and Sanford and the return home
was made by way of Alamosa.

were exceedingly well pleased with

In one of the best games of the
season Monte Vista took Alamosa
into camp by score of 8 to 7.
Alamosa was ahead most of the
game and the score stood I to 5 at
the beginning of the ninth inning.
In this inning Mcintosh led off
with a clean single to left, Akers
followed with a hot one through
short and f. Bush scored both
with a double to left Neither
team accomplished anything in
the tenth In the first half of the
llth with two men out Donovan
got single and Wallace scored
him with "A three base drive over
the left fielder's head. la the last
half of the llth Mcknight walked
Eaton, then struck out Carver and
Dow and Schied flew out, Akers
making one of the best catches of
the season on Dow's long fly over
his head. Schied was an easy out
to f. Busch in left.
The features of the game were
the pitching of Mcknight, who
allnwed but X hits and struck ont

Mcknight, and the snappy ball

Three big road camps are now
establlshed-one about II miles
above Wightman's fork, one at
Sumner and one above Sumner
each gang working both ways from
camp. In all there are 90 or 100
men employed and it is expected
to largely increase the force soon
Assurance has been given that the
road will be completed to the last
crossing of the Alamosa river, or
about one-half mile beyond the P.
M. b. power house, within sixty
days, or before snow flies.
The old idea that a road must
stick close to the river at all haz-
ards is being vacated and the
practical engineer of today chooses
his route for a permanent road on
higher ground and with southern
exposure if possible where the
items of wash and bog are mini
mized.

is GAINING IMPETUS

Contracts for the growing of one
thousand acres of beets have been
signed up in the last few days by
farmers for the season of 1914,
Sheriff Goad being the first farmer
to start the ball rolling.
The sheriff says that he is not
an expert beet grower, but has in
timated that his acreage will not
be anything to be ashamed of, and
his enthusiasm is fair indication
of the manner in which the farm
ers are taking hold of the PROPOSE
tion for the next season.
The strengthening of the agri-
cultural department of the Sugar
company and its Willingness and
ability to be of service TO the
growers seems to have a great deal
to do with the readiness with which
acreage is secured.

State Commissioners of Mines
Henahen, accompanied by the
private secretary of f. III. Wad-
leigh, Passenger Traffic Manager
of the d. & Il. G.. and mining ex-
pert employed by Mr., Wadleigh
came in Wednesday morning and
took the stage to Sumner.
These parties went into the
mining district to make an exami-
nation of new discovery west of
the p. M. B, property, which is
reported as good one.
1t is generally known that Jack
Bell, who has been quietly at work
in the district during the summer,
is employed by Mr.. Wadleigh.
Mr.. Bell is an old time prospector,
highly educated and mining
writer of some note, and his activ
ity in the field this summer seems
to have brought good results.

the best commissioners of mines
the state has ever had. No new
discovery is too distant, nor the
trail too rough, that Commissioner

MEDICAL ASSOCIATION
HOLDS PUBLIC MEETING

An open meeting of the San
Luis Valley Medical association
was held at the Presbyterian
church Monday evening, which
included besides musical mum bers
an address by DR.. G. E. Tennant
of Denver.
DR.. McFadzean of Del Norte
presided in his usual pleasing
manner and made a number of
witty remarks at the expense of
his profession and explained the
absence of his paper on the ground
that he feared it might prove an
over. dose in connection with other
papers on the program.
The meeting was opened by
Mayor Bronaugh who in presenting
the keys of the city to the doctors,
paid the profession high compli-
ment in that the men of medicine
were regarded as occupying the
most sacred confidential position
of any calling,
DR.. Moore responded to an in
vitation to speak and said that the
services of the minister were often
needed to follow those of the doc
tor. Rev Moore, continuing, said
that many of the ills we have are
due to a disregard of the doctors
orders and flying in the face Of
natures laws. He attributed much
of the good accomplished by doc
tors to the confidence of the
patient in his doctor and a reliance
on his honesty.
DR.. Tenant in his address urged
the enactment of sanitary laws and
the strict enforcement of the same,
claiming that with such much of
the preventable sickness might be
overcome. He claimed that greed
for gold by financial interests with
power to change conditions was
responsible for more disease and
death than war, pestilence and
famine.
The speaker referred to the nat
ural tendency of the public to
rebel against personal restraint
and attempted to show that the
attitude of the medical profession
was toward the general betterment
of the public health. In justifi-
cation of compulsory vaccination
for small pox, the doctor quoted
statistics. The success of the
Panama canal was due, he claimed,
to the vigor with which the Marine
hospital corps enforce their rules.
Adulterated and misbranded
foods were denounced by the
speaker, who urged that Il more
intelligent class of representatives
be sent to the legislature to pro-
tect the people.
