Barney Cleveland is in trouble again
and this time it is for stealing from his
neighbors. Itappears, from the complaint
of those causing his arrest, that he has
been appropriating coal, wood etc., not be
longing to him.. He was up before Magis
trate Swander, this morning, who, after
hearing the testimony, ordered the dis
charge of Cleveland. There was no doubt
in the mind of the magistrate as to Bar
ney's guilt but he could not be held on the
evidence, which, though strong, was no
, positive enough to convict him, under thu
law. Cleveland has been in trouble {;
number of times during his residence il
this town and instead of pro6ting by tn,
warnings he has received, he gets wors
instead of better. He is nuisance ant
should be compelled to abide by the law
or quit the town.
