Iature too much, with what is every

Mr.. ri. Fox says some unknown
person or persons were bold enough TO
take two of his horses from his stable
and ride them without his consent last
Saturday night. 1t would be much
more honorable and gentlemanly for
those wishing to ride at night to either
furnish their own horses or get the
owners consent to use them. If those
who secretly borrow horses at night
should accidentally meet up with their
owner they would certainly feel badly,
if they failed to meet with any other
mishap. The safest plan therefore
would be to act differently. GAS ye
