Tuesday Harvey House drove team into
the village which he got under false pretenc-
es. Sheriff Bass had papers to arrest him,
and took the horse by the bit, and then took
Howse by the collar of his overcoat. but the
coat came off suddenly. The horse ran away
and the man was doing the same. Sheriff
Bass told Judge Nichols, who was some dis
lance away in the direction of the horse, to
stop him. He grabbed his coat collar, and
the man stepped out OF his outside coat, too,
and made his escape.
A man IN shabby clothes, with many tur-
key feathers stuck in them, rushed out OF
some woods in Braintrec and seized young
child which was playing in the front yard and
ran to the woods with it. The mother
heard the cries of the child and ran after the
man, calling the dog. The dog took hold of
the man by the leg, and while fighting the
dog, the mother got the child away from tho
kidnapper and ran and called her husband
who was working some distance away. AT
ter informing him what had happened she
tainted away. Several men went in pursuit
of the rascal, but he ran like deer and has
| not been seen since.
