Plainfield.-I.ast Saturday Francis Love-
land of Orange was tried before Justice
Lombard on information for larceny and re-
ceiving and concealing stolen property.
The property stolen was some turkeys be-
longing to A. j. Mower of Calais, who
found them on Loveland's premises and in
his keeping. BY reason OF a peculiar mark
upon them they were easily identified.
Loveland claimed that he furnished Will
liam Neil money with which to purchase
them, and that when Neil brought them to
his place he represented that he had bought
| them. Neil has run away and cannot be
found. Lovelands testimony was so con-
ticting that he was bound up for trial in one
hundred dollars, Henry Fifield furnishing
the bail. o. l.. Hoyt appeared for the state
and w. A. Lord for the respondent. Other
parties have found their lost turkeys in
LOveland's possession. - The Methodist
