 Someone broke into Mrs Ney's barn 0,, Dol q Tb11rc1au Tir ard stole everything of value in the place. including a good hay cutter. En- trance was effected by drawing the staple out of the door. The barn is quite near the street and inasmuch as the door faces the highway and there is fair light there in the night time, it is a wonder that anyone would have run the risk of being caught in the act for the sake of what could be found in the building. It shows the straits some of the boys are reduced to and what they are willing to do in order to get money without working for it. Tne case has been reported to the police.
