There has been some petty thieving

this fact the thief has been more dar-

week sack of shelled corn was taken
from the barn of the Redkey Hotel.
The proprietor, thinking he had
clue, had warrant sworn out and the
premises of one our citizens searched,
but the missing articles we're not
found. On Friday night some hay was
taken from Joseph Copeland's barn.

hounds we're put on the trail and had
no trouble in tracking the thief.
Thinking there might be some mis-
take they we're taken back to the
starting point again but went over
the same trail. No arrests have been
made as yet, but the clue is so plain
that the guilty one had better not re-
peat the offense.
