Last Saturday night, noise WAS
heard about the barn of Isaac Barton
at Cuba Mills. The stable doors
We're found open and II WAS plainly
to be seen that prowler had been
IN the barn-it is believed by some
people that the prowler was horse
thief, for at Harry Stambsugh's s
stable the doors were open and a
young horse had been unloosed and
was found IN an other stable of the
same barn, which gives size to the
conjecture that whoever was at the
barn was examining the horse stock
and had been disturbed by some
passer by or probably was not suited
IN the animals he was exam ming. A
son of Brice Horning came along and
found Stambaugh's stable in the
condition mentioned; going on TO
his home he found the doors of the
barn of his fathers in the same
condition. Arousing his father they
investigated the barn. but found
things all right with the exceptions
stated.
