There was considerable excitement
here last week caused by man from
Concord running away with six oxen, a
horse and load of household effects.
The said man came here from Watervlle

Bingham and In Moscow. He was
good worker and after time was trust
ed to a farm in Concord, eight oxen, a
horse, a COW, wagon, sleigh and furni-
ture TO set up housekeeping, on all of
which mortgages were given by said
man. Being of trading disposition he
would swap, sell or buy as any one de-
sired, and being short of memory would
forget to mention to the purchaser that
there was mortgage on the thing sold.
Now these mortgages were coming due
as mortgages have way of doing, and
in the dark and stiffness of night he
packed his furniture on a sled, hitched
six oxen on behind or ahead and horse
and started to run away with the outfit
Naturally his progress was not rapid
and at Madison he was headed off by

teeth and low mutterings when they
discovered that some one else held a
claim on what they had purchased.

Bingham large amount of cord wood
and now there Is many an empty door
