There is professional petty thief
living in the Fourth ward. He makes
a speciality of stealing harness and
feed. The Fourth ward residents have
been suffering from his depredations
all winter. Monday W. ]. Gardin-
er'S barn was broken into and all of
his corn and chicken feed stolen.
There is little doubt that this thief is

the barn was secured by breaking a
lock off the door, 1t is unlikely that
the thief will ever be caught. He is
smart enough to steal only trifing

of his premises would no doubt reveal
much stolen property.
