neighbOr's horse to see his girl without
said neighbOr's knowledge, and got
drunk. Upon returning the horse in the
early morning, the neighbOT took him
for thief and fired at him, but hit a
straw stack instead, as it was a better
mark. Not liking such harsh treatment
the fellow ran away and left the horse
to shift for himself, but was arrested
soon after.
Walter Flohr, of Canton, is in for
tifteend days for running free delivery
system with another mans clothes.
