 PUT ONE OVER ON OFFICER
 Philip Stevens whose disabled horse was ordered back to the farm by Hu- mane Officer Johnson, Wednesday,, rather ''put one oYer' on the lenient officer. Before reaching his home in Huntingtown district, the owner trad ed his equine charge with Paul Nor row of Botsford, for one of the many valuable beasts this we'll known horse man has always on hand, or can lay his hands on when a trade offers, pay ing, it is said, considerable boot in cash to the horsedealer. This is evil denced by the fact that MT Morrow immediately sold the Stevens beast to Sidney True of Bethel, another horse trader for $5; thus unconscious1y put- ting the horse which had aroused the | soHcitude or the oficfers of the State Humane society into good hands, and taking hi1n away from the owner who seemed pleased with his new bargain. Or was 1t because he had seemingly outwitted our former deputy sheriff? MT. and Mrs. R. H. Squire of Bridge port were holiday and over Sunday Beard of Sandy Hook.
