Somehow, you never notice that the

FAIL TO FOLLOW TRAIL.
Bloodhomnds Secured in Effort to Io-

Especial to The Tlmes-Dispatoh.I
Offley, Va, December 12.-The
bloodhounds brought up from the
State Farm last night to trail the
parties who set fire to Robert Harris
barn on Sunday evening about 4
o'clock, proved of no avail, as the
trail had gotten too cold. ss
IT is not thought generally that this
fire was of incendtary origin, but
probably due to some boys loafing
around the barn smoking during Mr..
Harts absence, he and his family being
away all day. IN
Mr.. Hart lost all OF his feed, grain,
meat and farming implements, but his
mule In some way broke out of the
barn and escaped. There was no in-.
Surance.
