AFTER FUGITIVE
Man Arrested in Rutland for Keene,
N. H., Officials Escaped from Two
Officers Last Evening

Rutland, July 25.--A man whose dar'
ing escape from two police officers, en-.
gineered at the very door of the local
lookup, enlivcned by bit of very ex-
citing gunplay last night furnished the
local police department with problem
The man whose name is supposed TO be
Frank Gardner Hill, former resident
here, is wanted for forgery. His escape
is more remarkable from the fact that
he got away from the two officers while
handcuffed.
Hill was arrested in the local post
office about $3.50 o'clock last night, when
he signed for and accepted a deeoy let
ter from the Winchester, n, H., national
bank. which was supposed to have con-
tanned a check for money, but was in
reality blank. Special Police Officer
James Pitaniello and Officer Thomas FL
worth made the arrest, which was siren
uously resisted by the forger, six feet in
height and about 20 years old.
Hill was loaded into an automobile
and taken TO the station. The officers
were Just taking him from the machine,
still handcufFed, when lie threw them
off and although he fell once he darted
with great speed into the unlighted
freight yard just across the street
Officer Pitanielle fired nine times at
the fugitive but apparently none of the
bullets reached the mark.
Chief OF Police Jesse Young Thursday
received word from o. G. Cain of Keene,
n. H., that forger or his accomplice
would appear at the local postoffice
sometime during the day to claim reg
istered letter from the Winchester Ma
tional bank, addressed to Arthur d.
Hall. This was the man charged BY Mr..
Cain with forgery in Keene and in Win
chester. Special Officer Pitaniello was
on watch at the postoffice, and when the
letter was claimed the suspect was
pointed out, and the arrest followed.

america FLEW 40 MILES.
Principal Object Was to Note consump
tion of Fuel.

Hammondsport, N. Y, July 25.-Lieu-
tenant Porte made flight of approxi-
mately "A miles last night in the Rod
man Wanamaker flying boat America.
He flew from the the Curtiss camp at
Hammondsport to Penn Yam and re-
turned, the longest flight that has been
made with the American to date.
The principal object in making the
fight was to observe the fuel consump-
ton of the motors. Only light load
was carried and the third motor was not
used during the flight but was run for
a few minutes when Porte started to
leave the water at Penn Van. He said
the machine handled beautifully and
that the performance of the motors was
faultless.
Early in the day Glenn a. Curtiss and
Lieutenant Porte made flight of sew
eral miles with the America carrying
load approximately equal to that required
for the trans Atlantic fight. The trial
was interrupted by slight accident. A
strip of copper used to bind one of the
propellers worked loose and tore hole
In the surface of the upper plane.
The damage was not serious enough
TO have jeopardized the big fight had
1t been in progress, but the propellors
were removed and win be supplied with
more substantial sheathing at once
They will be repaired in time for what
are expected to be the final weight car
rying tests to-day.
Mr.. Curtiss said that he thought it
Just possible the machine could be over
hauled and packed in time for shipment
August l, but that any accident would
delay matters another week. Sailings
for New Foundland are only once a
week.

DOGS HAD DEER DOWN
And Were Attacking Small Doe When
Game Warden Arrived.

Two hound dogs nearly killed small
doe on r. o. Wheaton's farm short
distance from the turnpike on Cobble
hill Yesterday afternoon. Game Warden
Charles Keith, who was called from this
city, reached the farm in time to see two
dogs harassing the deer and it was a
bullet from his rifle that put the amman
out of her misery. One of the assailants'
a huge black bound, was caught, but the
other, smaller dog of the same breed,
made good his escape.
For several days the baying of hounds
on the hill has caused farmers in that
locality to suspect them Of running deer.
Yesterday Mrs. Grant and her daughter,
while returning home from this city, saw
two dogs pursuing a doe. They notified
DR.. Barnes OF Oxford, N. H., who is visit
ing at the home of p. o. Wheaton. The
doctor was able to get within sight OF
the dogs and the deer and he notified
II. G. Bancroft, one of the Barre Town
selectmen Mn Bancroft telephoned
States Attorney j. Ward Carver, who
referred him to the game warden. Mr..
Keith made hurry trip to the hill and
upon his arrival he found the doe down
and the dogs viciousIy attacking her.
By proceeding with caution, he was able
to lassoo the larger dog.
Examination of the doe disclosed a
broken rear leg which gave evidence of
having been broken two or three days.
The does nose and mouth were badly
lacerated. People who looked at the VIC
tim of the chase agreed with the game
warden that the animal must have been
about year old. Mr.. Keith brought the
carcass to this city and disposed OF it.
The dog identified by the warden is
alleged to have borne license tag num-
bered PCS. Inquiry at the city clerks
office this forenoon developed the infor-
nation that a black hound named Jack
had registry number that looked like
26S. The animal was licensed by Z. A.
Prindle. When interviewed to-day, the
authorities intimated that the extreme
penalty OF the law would not be exacted
in the case at hand. There are statutory
provisions for fine of 800, but it Is
believed whoever owns the dog will be
allowed TO sign waiver, under the law,
in which he promises to keep the dog
within bounds hereafter. When such Il
disposition Il reached, drastic penalty
IS imposed if a second offense Is commit
ted.

STILL WORKING ON CASE.
Trying to Find Assailant of Little Eva
John,

New developments in the search for
the assailant of little Eva John may be
disclosed in the coming week when
| Orange county authorities and opera
| tives. of the Wood Morgan detective bu-
reau make a report on their inyestiga-
tion of Wallace Avery's alleged eonnec-
tion with the crime. While no effort
has been made to give the matter pub
licity, there is good authority for saying
that the child has identified Avery as
| the man who accompanied her to Hope
cemetery on the afternoon OF July 1 and
there committed one of the most brutal
assaults that has come to the attention
OF the police here in several years. Ac-
leompanied by her mother and one Of the
Barre officers, the John girl was taken
to Chelsea. where Avery awaits trial on
an allegation that he committed sim
liar assault in Randolph July l3.
For purposes Of possible Identified
ton. the Wood Morgan men and the
state officers arranged a meeting between
the John girl and Avery. Her identiii-
cation OF Avery as ner assuilant was
made il is alleged, and the officers are
inclined TO place reliance on the alleged
Identification, because size has hitherto
failed TO connect anyone with the as
ssult, although number Of suspects
have been brought before her.
Now it is proposed 10 bring Avery 70
Barre again. just what the operatives
Of the detective bureau have in mind is
not known. OF course, but there is reason
10 believe that Ave will be taken over
the ground traversed by the girl and her
assaiant on the afternoon OF the crime.
Il was thought that the man would be
brought to Barre some day this week,
but there are indications that his ar
rival viii be postponed until the first Of
