First-Hand Story of the
Long Flight.

Cochrane, Ont, Jan. Scouting par
ties, composed of veteran trappers, In
dians and newspaper correspondents, to-
day were'rushing along various cireui-
tous trails northward in the hope of
intercepting the three United States
naval balloonists who are trekking
back to civilization from Moose Fac
tory, where they landed after hazard
Gus flight from New York.
Lack of actual knowledge of the aero
nauts' progress and impatience to hear
first hand the narrative Of their thrill
ing drift through stormy clouds and
of their heroic battle against cold and
starvation after landing, led the scout
ing squads to follow up their several
speculations regarding the route cho-
sen by the officers of Indian agencies. 1t
was generally agreed here to-day that
barring unforeseen trouble, the balloon
lists should arrive by tonight at either
Clute, Mattice or Coehrane.
The special Pullman ear for newspa-
per correspondents, however, was kept
here, with steam up, ready to rush to
any points reporting the aeronauts' ar
rival.

BARRE STORE BROKEN INTO.
Burglar Got Only IS Cents and Strip of
Bacon at Houghton & Robins.

Fifteen cents and strip of bacor
was, apparently, all the burglar took
who broke into the Houghton & Robin
meat and grocery store on Main street
sometime last night. The money he
found in the cash drawer in the grocery
store or ground floor, and the strip OF
bacon, weighing about seven pounds
on the counter with several others in
the meat store in the basement. Mon
ey was evidently what he desired most
but securely in the safe all money ex-
cept that taken was stored last night.
Perhaps he saw the money bag that
was left in the register in the meat
market the night previous with $40 in
it, the first time any such amount had
been left there, and only then by mis-.
take.
Entrance was made through a side
door in the basement store, located in
the old town hall building, and lead
ing to the driveway between this and
the Averill block
Whoever made the break was evil

for ON the inside Of this particular door
the key is always left. Last night
the burglar simply had to break pane
of glass in the door, reach inside and
turn the KEY, and the store was his, if
he could carry it away. All kinds of
foods and meats were at hand, but so
far nothing but the bacon and the price
of ham sandwich has been found to be

past year or more Mr.. Burglar left no
