PLANS COMPLETED
 FOR SUMMER CAMP
Y. M. C. A. Boys Will Journey to Lake Wangumbaug Next Month

Plans are practically completed for the annual Y. M. c. A. camp, which is to be held at Lake Wangumbaug, | South Coventry, July i to Is. Many 1 new features have been planned for this year and it is believed the boys will enjoy themselves more than ever. It is considered very fortunate by those in charge that such an avail able site can be had for the camp. A pretty bungalow with a large veranda commands fine view of the lake It is provided with a well lighted liv- ing room, which boasts of a big open fireplace, before which the boys can gather on rainy days. The boys are going to have real outdoor life, for they will live in tents which are situated in a large open space in the rear of the bungalow. Just beyond is field where a base ball diamond and tennis and crouuet courts are located Other equipment of the camp includes a good sized launch and several row boats. And the inner man-Chef Rogers of Bridgeport, who has acted in that capacity for the past three years, will be on hand again, which assures good wholesome food for all.
  When the boys trundle into their downy beds at night, nothing will dis | tnrb them, not even those pests from New Jersey, for mosquito has never been found in that locality. Swim ming and fishing form a large part of the camp life and these sports will be indulged in very often. Boys Sec- retary F. w. Yergin will be in charge 0 n will ha 8 capable staff of instructors. The boys will be allowed as much liberty as will be considered expedient in the developing of virile boy Many bows have enrolled for the camp, but there is always room for one more and the enrolment book will be kept open un- til next Wednesday.

arrested, and the whole party
marched to the hotel at Ocean
! Springs, where the landlord was great
ly surprised to learn the true nature
of the detectives mission.
The prisoners were taken to Dallas,
| Texas, by roundabout route, and so
| quietly that that city was reached be-
fore the story of the arrest had be-
| come public. The cause for this Sc
| crecy was that Nos. 2 and 3 had been
| located in Dallas, and it was essential
to arrest these before the story Of the
| capture became known to them and
put them on guard. Dallas was
reached at night, and on the follow
ing morning Jim Arnold, the chief of
police for that city, together with my
self, arrested the other two accom-
plices.
All waived preliminary hearings
and were committed to Jail to await
the action of the grand jury, which
convened month or six weeks later
In the meantime three Of the defend
ants succeeded in obtaining bonds and
were released from jail
After his arrest No. 3 was taken i'll,
and he died about a month later.
Nos. 1 and 2 fled the country almost
Immediately they were released on
bonds, No. going to Mexico and No.
the cases were called for trial, there
fore, only No. 4, the agent, appeared,
having remained the whole time in
Jail. The trial was accordingly post
poned pending the arrest of Nos. 1
and 2, and my work had largely to
be done over again.
Upon receipt of instructions to this
effect from the Missouri-Pacific rail
way I detailed Herbert and Bailey,
another of my assistants, to locate
and arrest No. 1 in Mexico, which
they succeeded in doing after much
hard work.
l myself assumed the task of arrest
ing No. 2. I discovered his location
in London after some effort, and WIS.,
tied the place, seeing the fugitive
without being seen by him. No. 2
had surrounded himself with a num-
Der of sympathizing friends, many Of
whom we're, like himself, fugitives
from justice, and among them he felt
SAFE

between Great Britain and the United
