Sheriff McDonald and AIilk Inspector
 Keeley Locate Some Thieves


 Keeley Locate Some Thieves.
 Sheriff Mcdonald and Milk Inspec- tor Keeley had m interesting eXperi- ence on the borders of the town of Wa terbury and Cheshire yesterday after noon. For some time past a gang of thieves has been making things mis- erable for farmers in the vicinity of the Cheshire road and the business has been conducted so systematically that the farmers have not been able to do anything towards putting q stop to it. The night before last Elmer Hitch cock Of that district lost sixteen chick ems, making eighty birds taken from his coop within q short time. The case was reported to Sheriff Mcdonald and the officer, accompanied by the milk inspector, started out on T still hunt after the thieves and traced them to q cellar at the residence of Burr John son, where the boys were taking q snooze.
