Several days ago little Ken
tucky bred mare belonging to Wal
ter Walker disappeared from a pas
ture near the city in which large
number of horses owned here in town
were kept. The mare was missed
when the owners of the pasture
rounded up the horses to get them
to town for protection from the
storm that had Just then gotten un-
der way. There was little to indi-
cate that the mare had broken out
of the pasture and she was the only
horse missing from the herd. Efforts
made by Sheriff Schrader and others
to locate her have failed. No trace
of her has been found and IL is beliey-
ed that she was stolen from the pas
ture. The mare weighs about 900
pounds, is bay, has white hind
feet and wire scar on her neck. and
when in good condition is very at
tractive looking little animal.

character which the controversy has assumed.

An interesting feature of the meeting here
WAS the presence of Henry A Mcmahon, the
Democratic candidate, who listened with great
interests to the speeches of Wallace and Gov
ernor Hughes. Mrs. Franchit. widow of Senator
Franchot was there also as was Congressman
Porter.
Perhaps the most remarkable demonstration
of the trip occurred at North Tonawanda, when
the special car witch brought the Governor from
I.ockport reached that community. Hundreds of
people waiting at the station to see him.
Houses and stores had American flags flying.
Factory whistles footed and shrieked. 1t was
genuine tribute to his personality and abstract
admiration OF his executive fidelity. probably
