Farmers who leave their homes late at
night with load of truck for market gen.
orally fall asleep on the way, leaving the
wel-trained horses to find their own way,
and these little maps have resulted in
heavy losses to some of them. Boys and
young men station themselves along the
road, and when a wagon comes along in
sight, if the driver is sleeping the mis-
creants will cut the covering which is tied
over the truck and then proceed to help
themselves. This practice has gone on
nightly for some time, and farmers are
complaining. A favorite spot for wagons
to be attacked is at the State street bridge
on the Pavonia road. and it was at this
spot early on Saturday morning that
Policeman Eisenhart was rewarded for his
