Cocaine Fiend
Performs Stunt

A cocaine fend giving the name of
Ned Jones and his home as Muncie,
was arrested by Night officer McIlrOy
last Tuesday evening after he had
walked into the Riley drug store and
deliberately taken a bottle of wine
from Proprietor Harry NungesteT, who
was showing il to a customer. With
the remark, Thanks, I'll see you in
New York." the fellow put the bottle
in his pocket and left the store. Mr..
Nungester at first thought the fellow
was joking, but after he went out of
the store and started down the street,
an officer was called and after a chase
the fellow was caught near the AL
spach livery barn, on South Main
street. When arrsigned Wednesday
morning he acted so strangely that
physician was summoned and an ex-
amamination revealed the fact that he
was dope fiend. He was discharged
and Marshal Weber took him to the
Lake Erie and started him for his re-
puted home at Muncie.

FIRES

The G. b. Fast home, at Neptune,
was totally destroyed by fire, which
presumably started from a defective
hue, shortly before seven o'clock last
Tuesday evening. The fire had gained
such headway, the upper part of the
house being all in flames, when dis
covered, that it was impossible, de-
spite the heroic work of the villagers,
to save the home. Everything on the
upper floors were also destroyed, but
most of the furniture down stairs was
safely removed. All the bedding and
almost all the family's clothing was
burned. The insurance was only $500,
which will fall far short of paying for
the damage. For the present Mr..
Fast and his family will occupy the
Dan Doty home.
The fire department was called to the
home of Mrs. Catherine Thedick, East
Livingston street, Monday morning on
account of the burning out of fue.

FEEDING A DRAFT COLT.

Crushed Oats and Bran With Mothsr's
Milk Make q Good Ration.
There is nothing equal to mothers
milk for a young foal. If the young
mare does not give as much milk as
the foal apparently could use advan-
tageously, give her grain, though the
pasture may be good. says the Breed
ers Gazette. Oats are better than
corn for this purpose on a pasture Of
grasses. but corn is very suitable for
feeding to sucking mares grazing al
falfa or clover. The small size of the
foal at birth is not a very serious
handicap. The main thing is to get it
started promptly to gaining in strength
and weight and to keep 1t going on as
rapidly and steadily as possible.
To this end the foal should have
grain rs soon as 1t will eat it, which
usually Is at about n month Of age.
When it begins to nibble at the oats
fed the Ak a feed box out Of her
reach where the foal can eat unmolest-
ed and feed it regularly all 1t will clean
up. Crushed oats mixed with a little
dry bran make as good a grain ration
as can be provided for this purpose.
IF the mares supply Of milk is clearly
inadequate. even when she Is fed
grain. the foal may be pushed along by
teaching it to drink warm sweet cows
milk from a bucket and then feeding
It a moderate amount regularly two or
three times a day. When flies get
troublesome the foal can be made to
grow much faster by providing a dark
shed for refuge in the daytime.
