ESCORT BY AEROPLANE


ESCORT BY AEROPLANE.
---
It was reported in Tipperary last night that there were two further
arrests in connection with the shooting on Constables McDonnell and
O'Connell at Soloheadbeg. The police are reticient as to details. A transport
wagon, with soliders and police, went out from Tipperary to the scene of the
tragedy at Soloheadbeg and the vicinity, and were escorted by an aeroplane,
which hovered for some time over the spot. The public expectation is keenly
on edge for further developments. The police and military continue to search
for the missing gelignite. They searched a farmer's house at Golden Garden,
near Alleen, examined the grass and bracken beside the tailway line, turned up
manure heaps, and tossed hay about. At another farmer's house in Alleen a
gravel pit was dug up. A further search was made last night at Greenane, near
Tipperary.
The military have taken possession of the City Hall and portion of the
Workhouse in Cashel.
