A horse thief entered Chas. r. Simondss
stable on Flat street Saturday morning
about l rs and attempted to steal "Nip,"
one of the handsome mares which Mr..
Simonds drives on his coupe. About l Is
the dog which was in the kitchen began
barking, and Mr.. Joseph Simonds arose
and looked out of the window. He saw
nothing to cause alarm. In the morning
when the barn was opened it was found
that the blanket and surcingle had been
taken from the horse, and the harness hung
up over the horse. When the thief had
proceeded thus far he was undoubtedly
frightened away by the barking of the dog.
1t was a curious circumstance that the
thief knew how to unfasten the door.
