thieves were stopping, unaware of their danger of capture.

Earlier in the week, the saloon of Dick Harrington which place is near t h e Port Henry depot was 'broken in to and a number of articles stolen. T h e case had its baff l ing features and t h e services of "Spiggie" were called upon. Mr. Wilson left with the dog yesterday morning afad upon arrival at Port Henry, the animal was at once put on the trail. In a few minutes , t h e dog found the tracks of the th ieves which imprints led to a b o s car which was standing a short dis­tance fro mthe depot. The car door w a s opened and inside the car was found an overcoat, a quantity of whis ­k e y and a box of cigars, al l of which were found to be the property of Harrington and were the articles wh ich h e complained of having been s to len the day before.

T h e dog led his keeper up town to a hotel where , s i t t ing apparent ly s e ­cure in the hotel office, w e r e two strangers w h o after a short examina­tion admitted the ir g u i l t Upon <m_s» t i o l i S & _kem ** ^ ^ c°w*d thM both had recently been inmates In a peni­tentiary in Vermont.

or a bortion of the profits of the cor­pora) ions.

"Many complaints were made to mo agairst these corporations by indl-vidurls who had entered into such contracts and were unable to get the comi anies to perform the condition? of their contracts or to return the m e m y which had been paid to them. The actions were therefore begun upon the principal ground that the conduct of such business wan in vio­lation of t h e . b a n k i n g law of th i s state, and a s the companies affected were organized under the business corporations* law, they had no right to engage in such business.
