BLOODHOUNDS TRAIL BOYS

YOUNG MEN ARRESTED HERE SUNDAY MORNING ON A BURGLARY CHARGE. Bloodhounds proved to be the deciding factor tin the chase of officers after two young men wanted at Wolcott for burglary. The young men were arrested at the Monon station in this city early Sunday morning, where they were awaiting for a northbound train to carry them to Chicago and safety. John Holt and James Marcy, of Indianapolis, were the young men captured. The young men are accused of having broken into the store of W. M. Sullivan at Wolcott Saturday nights Holt and Marcy were seen in Wolcott early Saturday evening and craeted suspicion by their actions. They left Wolcott after robbing the store and came to Rensselaer. About six miles out of this city the car in which they endeavored to escape became stalled on a sandhill and the men abandoned it and went forward on foot. About a mile from where they abandoned the car they inquired the direction of a farmer the way to this city. Sunday morning Marshal James Pemberton, of Wolcott, and Deputy Marshal Millard, set out in search of the men, thei rtrail leading to this city. The authorities then sent to Bedford, Ind., for bloodhounds and they were taken to the Sullivan store to get the scent. Then they were taken to the garage, where the abandoned car had been taken and the dogs located it immediately. Following this the bloodhounds were taken to the jail, where they approached the men who had been arrested. Holt and Marcy, handcuffed, were taken to Wolcott and from there to Monticello, where they are lodged in jail awaiting trial.
