went out into the shed adjoining. They
returned in minute or so to the kitchen

some friends of the family that had come

Witham endeayored to catch the men,
but were unable to do So 1t is not
known whether anything has been taken
from the house, as Mr.. Libby has not re-

were looking for something to eat, rather
than to prowl around for articles of value
