A horse stealing affair which involved
$500 worth of property was brought into
local prominence Saturday by the recovery
of part of the property at Putney. Isaac
f. Hare is young man Of Barre, Mass For
some time he had charge of the Frye stock
farm at that place, giving up that position
about a year ago. He has Of late developed
into professional horse thief. His method
was to go to the sales stables and buy the
horses, giving a bogus check in payment.
In this way he secured a pair of horses, a
Goddard buggy and harnesses from the
Mills stable at Boston, and pair Of horses
from the Snow stables i'm that city. He
took these to Barre. At the Mills stables
it was found that the check was worthless.
doc Ninton. one of the men employed
there, was sent to Barre on the case. He
found Hare, but the latter played a game
of bluff, telling Ninton thai all he wanted
was more time, etc. The result was that
Ninton was badly duped, and allowed Hare
to drive him to the station and start him
back TO Boston.

simply as "Jim'', then started with the
stolen property. They came up through
Warwick. Winchester and Hinsdale and
the Mills team was driven through Brattle-
boro. There is evidence that the single
