Harry Thaw Captured
Sherbrooke, Que., Aug. 19.—
Harry K. Thaw, cut short in his
flight from the State Hospital
for the Criminal Insane at Mat
teawan, N. Y., by arrest today at
:the village of St. Hermenengild
de Garford, just over the inter
| national line from New Hamp
: shire, prepared in his cell in the
| county jail here tonight to fight
against being sent back to the
United States.
Thaw faces deportation on the
ground that he is an undesirable
alien, an extradition on a war
rant charging him with bribery.
The warrant already issued in
New York skate for his arrest on
a charge of conspiracy, will not
suffice to extradite him, in the
opinion of local authorities.
These authorities received word
tonight that the district attorney
of Duchess county, in which
Matteawan is located, was on his
way here prepared to swear to a
warrant charging Thaw with
bribery7—an extraditable offense
—if necessary.

farmers and bring them back to
Arkansas for use in the same
sore of a jubilee which will be
held in this state early next
month
Supt. Kingsley is an old road
builder of Missouri, and years
ago brought their methods to
Arkansas. He is now looking'

of good roads that have been |
built in this state within the j
past two years.

Swimmer Had Close Call.
Pocahontas, Aug. 19.—John
Carter, manager of the R. D.
Haber Commission 'Company,
had a narrcwescape from drown
ing here yesterday. Had it not
been for the occupants of a
nearby houseboat w’ho went to
his rescue, with a skiff, he would
have lost his life.
Carter was on a long distance
swim with a number of other
-wimmers and had been swim
ming for some time when he
grew tired and got quite a dis
tance behind his companions,
thinking to rest blit he was in
deep water and had to battle
with a swift current. Carter
found himself completely ex
hausted and made for an old
barge. On reaching it he was
unable to land or call for help,
j and went under. He got hold of
'a fishing pole sticking out of the
! barge. He pulled it into the
water and at that time the at
tention of the fishermen on the
bank was attracted and they
reached him just in time.

j Pet Monkey Now At Large.
While none of the lions, leo

to have escaped from captivity
in this section, quite a local sen

being found at large in this :ty.
And the enjoyment of freedom
is so intoxicating and hilarious
to his monkeyship that he has
thus far resisted all effort> put
forth to capture or bait him nee
more into chains or irons
Tuesday, he was seen i y 1 ar
Usle Heard and other residents
on Newport Avenue, but in each
case went ir:t< hiding bef re his
pursuers could reach him. Later
he was seen on Hazel street by
member' of Con Dean'- amily
and that night, ne seems to have
found refuge in St. Paul-'
church, where he was di.-eov, red
next morning, having li. the
meanwhile torn up a number o 1
prayer books and hymnal' and j
knocked several vases from the j
altar. He had entered the build- j
ing through a window r. the
Sunday school room and then as
cended the stair to the church
proper. While the damage done
is slight, a timely discovery of
his presence was all that pre- j
vented further manifestation,

and results of his sacriligious na-1
ture. That man’s fear of a Cod 1
