One of the nerviest pieces of sneak
thieving hat has ever come to our
notice was reported to us by Geo.
Kennard. Mr.. Kennard states that
someone, presumably from the city,
stole four rows of corn from mis- patch
one night this week. The thieves
picked out the best corn in the field
and husked it clearly and hauled it
away with a wagon. The field will
yield about seventy-five bushels to
the acre and the corn taken will
amount to quite a little sum. MI.
Kennard has a pretty good idea who
the parties are and prosecutions may
follow.
