Fighting and screaming. the noted
refugee was taken from his bed at S
o'clock this morning, forced to dress, and
unceremoniously dumped across the bor-

entered the Dominion.
Thaw was absolutely dazed by the ac-
tion of the immigration men, who deli
berately ioUted the decision Of the high
est court in the Province of Quebec, the
Court of Kings Bench, before which the
prisoner was to be brought next Mon
day on a writ of habeas corpus.
After wandering about the country
criss-crossing Vermont, New Hampshire
and the Dominion, Thaw, disheveled and
excited after the aimless flight from
Norton's Mills, was taken into custody by
Sheriff Drew while riding in the auto
mobile of a New York newspaperman.

tempts to escape the clutches of those
looking for him were abortive.
Even when he had an opportunity to
safely board a train, his joy-TfinS

The tumbler missed 3obertsons head

persons who were waiting to catch the
morning train for Sherbrooke.
These persons looked up and saw Thaw
