Thief Preferred Losing Them to Be-

ing Caught.
His effort to steal load of hay from
the farm of Maj G. M. Ryals. west of
the city, cost a thief his horse and
wagon night before last. The manner
of his undoing was novel.
At either end of the great barn that
stands on the place there is large
double door The thief went to the front
of the building, unfastened the door
and drove in. He unfastened the rear
door, leaving it open, and went to the
front. He closed the front door and
fastened it on the outside. Then he
returned to his team and began to fork
hay into the wagon.
Unfortunately for the thief one of the
men employed on the farm CHANGED to
pass just at that time. He heard a
noise on the inside of the barn. Going
around to the rear he peeped in
through the open door and saw what
was going on Seeing that the front
door was fastened, he took advantage
OF the chance that was offered and
barred the rear door. thus imprisoning
the thief and his horse and wagon.
Then the employe went off to the house
to get help.

been discovered. He tried the doors,
but neither would yield. 1t was plain to
him that he could not get his team out,
and the next consideration was to save
himself. No means of escape offered,
save jump from a second-story win
dow. This was not inviting, but II
was preferable to a term in the peniten-
tiary, so he made the jump. When the
employee returned with help he found
that his bird had flown.

Judge Pope Barrow returned early
yesterday morning from Washington,
where, as a delegate from the society
in Georgia, he has been in attendance
upon the recently adjourned convention
of the Sons of the Revolution. The
convention honored Judge Barrow with

The occasion was a memorable one in
many respects, the delegates to the

Perhaps the most noteworthy of these
