A. P. George well-known resident
of Sterling, was in this village yesterday,
accompanied by his neighbor, Fay With
eral. Although frequent visitors here,
their mission this trip was of more than
usual Importance and we might add very
successful. 1t seems that Mr.. George
was assisting his neighbor in little
stroke of detective work and succeeded
inrounding up an absconding hired man
of Witherell, by tie name of Clarence
Billings. The latter came into the neigh
borhood of Sterling Sunday morning last
and begged chance to work for With
erell. Tuesday morning he arose early
and afte" building fire and starting the
chores, took French leave and two pairs
of trousers belonging to his employer.
Being notified of his neighbours loss,
Parish volunteered the services of
himself AM team and Billings was over
taken before he reached the village. The
theft was verv repentant and was allow
ed to fix matters up, although the best
pair of trousers were missing. Billings
offered as an excuse for his action that
he was Quite often taken suddenly with
"blue spells" at which times he was liable
to do some peculiar stunts. While the
story was apparently accepted by With
eral, Parish" allowed that the blue"
could doubtless be washed out with prop
eT treatment.
