HUNGER DRIVES
NEGRO TO OPEN
{ Continued From Page ~

proved effective and the negro cut
off from escape, had been kept hem
med in the swamps until he made his
desperate dash for freedom.
The searching Wednesday night
and yesterday morning and after
noon was barren of results, the Ell
forts of the posse members being
confined almost exclusively to a
[frultless hunt for further signs of
1.-The fugitive and to the guarding OF
the swamps. The negro in jumping
off his stolen horse Wednesday
morning landed in soft earth, SO Civ
Ing the officers two'clear imprints of
his shoe tracks. This, it is expect
ed, will facilitate the picking up OF
-the trail should the negro make a
break for the open. A peculiarly
worn ineel on his shoe has enabled
members of the pursuing party to
follow the negro's trail for a eonsld-
erable distance into the first swamp,
the trail being. lost, however, in the
inner brush and briar Businesses.
Under Extreme Difficulty.
The search has been conducted un-
der extreme difficulties, the swamps
in which the fugitive had been hid
ing being practically impossible.
These swamps are also to all effect
continuous, stretching in one long
line from Blythewood to the Wa
teree river, with narrow, curvlng
roads as the only dividing lines. in
this. way it was possible for the negro
to make his way always under cover
to the river where he could have
lost himself foyever in one of the
almost impenetrable swanaps along
the river bank. 4: :.
Further difficulty is added to the
hunt by the, fact that the officers
and posse are ignorant of the ne
gro's identity. Descriptions of the
fugitive given by .white*womai who
saw him pass through her yard Wed
nesday at noon and Of the negro who
killed Mr. Brown tally in all essential
details, but both descriptions are bas-
ed almost entirely upon clothing
worn by the slayer. A change of
costume, furnished by some friend,
would make the negro almost safe
from recognition by members of the
posse. I.
Sheriff Heise said last night that
officers were anticipating no violence
should the negro be captured. There
has been no talk of summary ven
geance against the fugitive among
of the posse, said the sher-
iff, who praised the citizen members
of the posse for their assistance IN
the search. These men, Mr.. Helse
said, have given the posse numbers
large enough to make the encircling
of the swanips possible and have been
largely responsible for the work ac-
complished. The posse, the sheriff
said, is in no sense mob, the clti-
zen volunteers acting under the lead
ership of the regular officers in the
SEARCH risking their lives with the
officers.
May Be Williams.
The fact that the negro, according
to the testimony of Roy Lindler, an
eye witness of the tragedy, fired i'm
mediately and without even giving
Mr.. Brown an opportunity to recog-
nize him leads officers to accept the
theory that the negro is also wanted
for some other serious crime. This,

In replying to the structures of tn,

fic-the Barre Times admits the condi

municipalities concerned, including tho
town of Berlin, ought certainly Il
amend the situation:
II says further:
I'VE refer 10 the ruinous action by
the heavy loaded state highway de-
partment trucks, which, during the
soft" times of the year, churned this
main highway into-a mass of mud and
ruts and left il so for the individual
municipalities To make good again.
These trucks were engaged in drawing
granite chips for use in road construc-
ton elsewhere. OF course. there is.
too, a great deal OF traffic of the ordi-
nary nature which is calculated to put
highways out of repair but not enough
to do all the damage that has been
done to this strip of highway between
Barre and Montpelier. The state trucks
did il; and the state highway depart
ment ought to contribute materially
toward restoring the highway"
OF course. the trucks of the state
highway department are not the only
heavily loaded trucks that pass over
that stretch of road. and normal truck
traffic between Montpelier and Barre
heart of the granite districtl is bound
to be heavy, but the position of the
contemporary that the state should do
something for the road seems reason
able enough and is entitled to consid
Grafton.
Certainlyta road that must carry the
traffic that belongs normally to the

ite center of Vermont ought to be good
enough to carry a state truck with a
full load at any season of the year.
While on this question of state
trucks, il might be well for the depart
ment TO give a little oversight to the

Fighting the Forest Fire.

A new field of operations for the
steam fire engine has been discovered
Portland sent one to aid in fighting
forest fire in the Rangeley lakes region
City firemen have frequently been
summoned to country villages, and to
rural neighborhoods. In late years, it
has been found that they are friends
| in need in forest regions. The incident
of the dispatch of the engine to oquos-
soc is case in point. In country in
which ponds and streams abound, the
fire fighters from the cities, bringing
with them their apparatus, are yalua {.
bic requirements for the men who
| fight the flames by cutting fire lanes
and in other ways known to the woods
man. The extension of railroad lines
into the big woods, while it has
brought with it the peril of the sparks
sometimes scattered by locomotives,
has, at the same time, made possible
the rapid mobilization of the fire fight
ing forces when the forests are ablaze.
As part of that process, it has linked
the recesses OF the wilderness with the
fire-engine house in the distant city.
The recent fires down east serve to
reducing the peril of the flames in the
woods. The lighthouse supply steam
ship Hibiscus was ordered post haste
to Washington county when the news
was received of fire in the woods along
the coast OF eastern Maine 1t was be-
ieved that the ship could be of assist
ance in fighting flames in the vicinity
of Calais. An attempt by one small
ship to pump the Atlantic ocean into
Maine woods would seem, however, to
be in the nature of forlorn hope.
But with all the modern methods of
discovering and fighting forest fires, ex
periences of the present summer have
shown them 10 be still an ever present
menace in dry seasons. The fires in
Maine which il is now reported the
rains have quenched, were preceded by |
fires which ragged in May and June, a |
are ordinarily still damp with the ac-
cumulated moisture of the spring |
months. This year, however, there was
a condition which called for the mobil
ization of thousands of fire fighters
and caused damage amounting to hun
dreds of thousands of dollars before
the destruction was brought TO an end.
Both in Maine and in New Brunswick,
where conditions were even worse, this
is likely to be long remembered as the
summer which gave evidence that
watch towers and telephone lines, and
all the machinery for the prompt mo.
bilization of fre-fghting forces, while
they prevent a vast amount of harm,
have not made the woods freproof.-

so that the flames had gained big
start before they were discovered by
persons in either village, The plant
was built on solid granite and was
partly surrounded by young growth OF
trees, the latter fact tending further
to conceal the fire at its outset. The
large machines were built on cement
foundations, which cost almost as
much as the machines themselves.
The plant was the result of 33 years
growth and addition, new parts and
new machinery being added as the ex-
panson of business required. This is
the first time in those years that the
firm has had large fire. the only 9th
er loss being the destruction OF a
shed.

but that the firm was by no means

to be rebuilt in order to conduct quar-
