It appears that George Mcguire, an emplUye of Ed ward Taylor, drOve to NewtowD, Tues- day night, with one of raylor's teams to attend the Foresters' dance, and put his horse in the Grand Central stable. A man from Danbufy came over to the same affair and put his team in Leonard's stable. When the Dan0ury man was ready to start for home he went to the Central stable, secured Msguire's horse and drove off, hitchiDg on to buggy be- longing to Will Costello. When Mcguire came tO go home he found his horse was gone and few hours later had Constable Tilson on the war path. The next morn ing the Danbury man discovered his mistake and returned to Newtown very penitent, and settled for the expense he had caused.
