No effort was made to apcertain his identity or to eee if he had a companion; but Baugh and another boy were left to watch the house from some sheds a couple of blocks away, while Mr. Cowley repaired to Benson to get the constable. - While at Mr. Paul Cardons the boys rode up and told Mr. Cowley that shortly after he left, two men had emerged from. the house, each carrying a sack of something which they.hid in some sheds and - then started off down the river on the ice.
