J. A. Weed, who lives some four

old Santa Barbara road, left in our
office yesterday some samples of rye

other piece had been found in the same

were hidden there only until some OPP

terday in front of the Courthouse.

the critter could walk into it. After
trying in vain to get the donkey to
walk up the steps, ropes were thrown
around him and he was dragged up
the steps and into the wagon. When
he was finally in the wagon he was
made fast on all sides, but he tried to
stop the vehicle by pulling on his
hitching rope.
