has been citizen in our town for a long time,
was caught in Mrs. Jacobs house and placed
in custody. There are different opinions
about the matter. but here are the facts as
gathered by Herald man: Last Thursday
night Mrs. Jacobs and Mrs. Mcdonald were
up till late after their usual bed time. They
were IN the sitting-roOm with the door
that opens into the hall open,
the back door of the hall which
leads out into the back veranda was closed
but not fastened. Late in ths night
between II and T. o'clock they heard a noise
at this door, but thinking il was the dog paid
very little attention to it, but later they
noticed on the wall in the reflected rays from
the lamp the shadow of "A man. This naturally
frightened them and they FASTENED to awake
nj. l.. LeadfOrd. VINO boards there during
the absence Of Col Mcdonald. Mr. Leadford
aroused from mis- slumbers hurridly dressed
and advanced upon the intruder with lamp
IN one hand and a chair in the other As
means Of defense. Mackin had by this
time, gone into a room on the OBJ
posite side Of the hail and attempted to con
ceal himself behind a table but, when de-
manded to surrender made no resistance
Whatever and was carried and placed in the
lookup that night. Mackin claims that he
was drunk and didn't know anything about
where he was. Those who saw him say that
he was not so drunk as he would have YOU
believe; that he was very cautious to take on
his shoes and leave them on the steps and to
slip by the door of Mrs. Jacobs room without
any OF them seeing him. He was carried be
