Wholesale horse stealing has
been going on in the Flat River
country during the past two weeks.
F. R. Linn had a ienett stolen;
Lark Skaggs had 2 horses stolen;
Levi Birch lost a horse but claims
to have located it near Yount
Store in this county. He was here
looking after it Sunday. He
claims that Miles Sidberry who
was sent to the pen from this city
and who was recently released,
came to his stable and hired the
horse, rode it off and that was the
last seen of him until he looted the
animal near the Yount Store.
The other horses were driven off
from the range by three parties,
the officers are now looking for
the three and it is alleged that Sid
berry is one of them and the other
two are known.-FredericktoUn

We have had some mighty cold
weather the past week. Saturday
and Sunday nights ice formed, and
the thermometer registered % de"
grees. It commenced showing
Saturday night and nearly all of
Sunday morning the flakes came
dewn just like in a storm in mid
winter. 1t was an unusual sight.
The lawns and fields carpeted with
green, trees and bushes we'll leafed,
and the feathery snow falling ev-
erywhere. All day Sunday was
cold, the thermometer at no time
registering higher than 80 degrees,
Mr.. Delano says it is by far the
coolest April weather that his 30.
year record shows. Vegetation
was much damaged by the killing
~frosts, the fruit and gardens suf-
fering most, and in some instances
it is feared the wheat has beer
hurt. Monday and Tuesday con
tinued cold and disagreeable, bttt
Wednesday dawned bright and
clear and warmer, with promise Of
spring again.
