psned in this place for a long time was
the stealing Of Mr.. Charles E. Libby g
oxen. Mr.. Libby keeps quite large
stock and he had two pair in a pasture
about a half mile away. Wishing TO use
them he started out quite early last Fri
day morning and not finding them in the
pasture he began to make inquiries about
them. He found that the oxen had been
seen going toward Raymond Village
about three days before. They were also
heard from In Windham and Saturday
morning Mr.. Verrill and Deputy Sheriff
George Mcdonald took the trail and fol-
lowed them to White Rock and Gorhnm,

nice horse and $50. They took the oxen
and drove them home, feeling quite
pleased with their find. The oxen were
