Evidence That Barn of C. A. Wilcox
 Was Entered.


 An attempt to steal one of pair of team horses owned by c. A. Wilcox was made between II o'clock and mid- night Sunday. The Wilcox horses are kept in the barn of Ernest l.. Davis on Shippee hill. A disturbance in the barn awakened the persons In the house, and an investigation followed. The doors of the barn were found to be closed and outwardly the premises appeared the same as when the horses were fed early Sunday evening. On going into the barn one of the line, large horses was found missing. The animal had evidently been taken out one of the small doors in the barn. Tracks in the earth were followed and the house found short distance away near the road. Nearby were marks of a team and many other indications to show that it was intended to make a valuable steal
 The chances are that the thief or thieves were disturbed at a stage of their game that made 1t impossible for them to get away with the horse, which is big one and. could not be hurried the way light driving horse could have been.
