House, But it Was Recovered

BEDDING, Sept. 18.—Two burglars
who broke into the residence of Mafk
Twain .In Bedding at midnight last
night, were captured this morning on
a New York, New Haven and Hartford
Railroad train between Bethel and
Bedding after a desperate light In
which Deputy Sheriff Banksnof Red
ding, was shot In the leg.

Miss Lyon, the humorist's secretary,
was aroused about midnight by the
sound of breaking glass in the lower

part of the house She went softly
doom the stairs to find a flood of light
in the dining room, and that the side-
board with its rich load of solid silver,
was missing from its customary place
in the room. Cautiously slipping along
the shadows to a point where she
could have a view of the garden. to
whichdier attention had been called by
an open window in the dining J-oom.
Miss Lyon saw two men forcing the
doors and drawers of the sideboard
which they had carried out apparently
in the hope that they would not be In
terrupted in their work. Without giv-
ing the burglars any cause for alarm,
Miss Lyon summoned Mr. Clemons and
he butler and then telephoned for

Sheriff Banks boarded the train and
attempted to arrest the mcn,- but they
at once showed fight. one of them
drawing a revolver. In the struggle
which followed the sheriff was shot in
the leg and in the hand and the man
managed also to wound himself in the
head. By that time other passengers
in the car had taken part In the affair
in an attempt to assist the officer. At
the same time Mr. Wark, who was at
the Clemens home. appeared with a

shotgun and the two men then gave in ,

and suffering themselves to be hand-
cuffed, were taken off the train and
to the home of Mr. Lonnsbury. A phy-
siotan was called and the wounds of
the sheriff and of the injured robber
were attended to.

Later in the morning the men were
taken before Justice Nickerson for a
hearing, Mr. Clemens. his daughter
Miss Clara, and Mr. Wark appearing
at the hearing.

The men had taken only the solid
silverware and this was all recovered.
The plated were they» had evidently
discarded somewhere.

The setting for the hearing of the
burglars was quaint enough to make
a setting for a scene in a novel. It
was in a little tooth in an old-fashioned
house, and the justice, Mr. Nickerson,
sat at a little table. The witnesses
were on a settee. while Deputy Sheriff
Banks and several men stood over
the two prisoners who were on the
same settee as Mr. Clemeps. The lat.
ter was in his white suit and held his
white soft bat in his hand. '

The men gave the names of Charles
Hoffman, aged 30, of South Norwalk.
and the other Henry Williams, aged 40,
with no information as to his home.
Neither man wanted to plead and so
the court recognised a plea of not
guilty. A statement of fact was made

Richard Sherwood Has Narrow Escape
lrom Death rt Southport

c—u——-L-.

Running his big 60 horse power bo-
zler auto at a clip of some 30 miles an
hour from Bridgeport, yesterday Mr
ternoon about 2 o'clock, Richard Sher-
wood, one of the best known citizens
of that placo,s struck a mud section
of what is known as the Harbor road.
Southport, sped through the air, and
landed bottom side up in the harbor
bordering the roadway. The driver
shot over the dash board as if thrown
from a catapult Into the water, which.
under the circumstances, was a most
fortunate thing for him for had be
retained his start he whuld have been

crushed to death under the- weight of
the machine. or smothered in the
water.

Almough there was. a guard rail
bordering the road, it failed to stack-
en the speed of the machine, and was
reduced to splinters with the impact
of the big car. Mn Sherwood, al-
though badly shaken up, escaped with
no more serious results than the ruin
of his clothing. He was conveyed to
his home, and arranged for the trans-
portation of the car. A big derrick
was fixed up. and with the necessary
tackling and several hours' work on
the port of half a dozen men the ma
chine was pulled out of the ditch and
towad home.

The mechanism was considerably
damaged, but with some repairing It
is believed the auto will be as good
as ever in a few days.

troii‘ey car between Westport and Nor-
wa . , _, , ..
Bartlett explained that he had been
on a vacation trip up to Boston and
said he boarded the trolley car at
Bridgeport. He began paying out
fares enroute and when he reached
Westport ran out of change and rather
than tender 9. $10 to the conductor.
asked several passengers if they could
change it among them the colored
man. who told the police he was Wil-
liam Austin and is employed as a wa-
gon washer in a New York livery
stable. Austin said he could not
change thp bill but advanced Bartlett
a dime

_Bartlett carelessly tucked the $10
bill In the odisitie pocket of his coat
and proceeded to forget all about it
apparently? The colored man, In the
meantime, he says, changed his seat
‘to directly back of him.
When Norwalk was reached, Austin

previous good character. it was his

court. They promised faitthTIiy to
keep out of trouble In the future.
Judge Case said he was amazed at
times lwhen trying criminals, to see
so many youthful faces. and often

faithfulness in keeping a promise to
reform when an opportunity In given
them. He told the three lads that
they were to accept the present op-
portunity. for they were standing on
the edge of a state prison sentence.

ing towards the summit of the hill.

One of the threatened cottages was
that of Judge A. 'l‘. Bomback, of the
Supreme court. Thomas O'Hara has
lost about 2,000 cords of wood, and a

large area of timberland has been

GREAT UNDERGROUND RIVERS
OF AUSTRALIA. '

There are comparatively few rivers
of any size or importance in Australia,
and a local learned professor of
science has been explaining the reav
son. In consequence of the geological
formation of the commonwealth, most
of the rivers are at present Imprison-
ed subterranean streams.

He declares that one of these under-
ground rlvers is the largest in the
world, being no less than 200 miles
long and running right. through the
center of the continent. if these vast
supplies of subterranean waters were
broughboto the surface and properly
utilized, Australia would become the
