The homes Of the Stuben farms were
plundered by thieves on Friday night
of last week while the residents were
attending the fair. Mr.. and Mrs. A.
G. Jones returned that evening to find
that the house had been ransacked
from garnet to cellar and that one
feather bed, ten pound cheese and
many silver knives and forks were
missing. Investigation brought out
the fact that the thieves went from
there to the Will Campbell farm where
they took cakes, pies and all kinds of
food. Evidently they found cause for
haste as they left a large sack Of new
feathers lying in the flower bed. The
Humphrey home on the Brier farm
was also plundered and another feath-
err bed with pillows and a shotgun and
revolver We're added to the booty. A
pair of shoes was taken from the
Frank Warner home. No clue as to
the identity of the thieves has yet been
found, but suspicion points to two
wagons driven by strangers, one OF
which bore the startling inscription.

Of the farmers passed the teams on

the wagons were empty at that time
