OFFICERS LOOKING
FOR HORSE THIEF
Sidney Gage of Gageville Loses 18-
Year-Old Animal-Suspicion Points
to Escaped Prisoner.
{ Special to The Reformer.)
BELLOWS FALLS. April ,.

The police were notified yesterday
morning that a horsc-thief had been at
work IN Gagevi.le. During the night
an 1s-year-old horse belonging to Sid
ney Gage, the owner of the basket fac
tory. was taken from the stable. \
wagon also was taken and with it dis
appeared a rope, a bag of oats and an
alarm clock. The horse is described as
being chestnut in color, with white
face and part of the legs white, and
weighing about 1850 pounds.
1t is is thought the theft may be the
work of Clifford Durant. Durant es-
capped from the custody of an officer in
Winchendon Wednesday. On Thursday
morning Officer Angus MacKinnon
was at the railroad station and his at
tention was attracted to two rough ap'
pearing characters. The appearance OF
one italics with that Of Durant and
Officer MacKinnon has identified the
picture of Durant as that of one OF
the men seen by him. Durant has
served time for horse stealing.

JACK THE PEPPER
FRIGHTENING GIRLS
Masquerades in Garb Of Sister of Ro-
man Catholic Church - Fruitless
Search by Young Men
Especial to The Reformer.)
BELLOWS FALLS, April %

BELLOWS FALLS, April %
Girls and young women are consider
ably excited over stories to the effect
that q man is prowling around town
dressed in the garb of Sister of the
Roman Catholic church and is accost-
ing females and chasing them He is
a.so a Jack the pepper. -
More than q week ago the first re-
port was circulated and several girls
reported they had seen the man. At
least it is believed to be man, as it
is a well known fact that Sisters never
go abroad singiy and seldom, if ever,
go out at night except IN a vehicle.
Groups OF young men travelled the
streets several nights in search of him
and the reports that he had been seen
quieted down.
Patrick J. McAuliffe, who is employ
ed by the International Paper company
and who lives on Williams street, in
the north end of the village, has said
that he caught a glimpse of the stran-
ger one evening. On Thursday even
ing he was seen about 1890 clock
near the home of Mrs. Margaret Keefe
on Atkinson street. it is said. He is
reported to have gone between her
| house and a barn. A young woman re-
ported NeSltltdS Lloi HIIig IAdl WINK
| ON her way home the previous night
| she saw the masquerader and was
| frightened when she saw him. Last night
young men again went in search of him
without success. 1t is reported that
not long ago he chased a Polish girl tc
her home.
If he is caught it probably will &C
hard with him as the young men who
are searching are in no mood to dea
easily with him.
A prominent resident of Henry
street was somewhat startled a few
evenings ago to see a face peerins
through a window of his home. HI

MANY OLD STAMPS
OFFERED FOR SALE
Postmaster Moran Gets Letters as Re
suit of Publicity Given Auction
of Brattleboro Stamps.

The recent publication of the news
of the sales of two original Brattleboro
stamps, issued by the Brattleboro post
master in 1916, before the United
States government began the issue of
stamps, has had widespread publicity
if letters received by Postmaster NJ. j
Moran are to be taken as criterion.
Among others which he has received
are some from Missouri, Indiana and
Ohio. and in all of them reference is
made to the recent sale of the stamps
in question and all the writer's have OBJ
tanned the impression that the local
postmaster sold the stamps.
One man writes that he has two
stamps as rare as the ones sold and re-
quests the address Of the place where
the postmaster sold the Brattleboro
stamp.
a woman writes that she has several
kinds of old stamps, of all kinds and
colors and dates, and requests the post
master to specify particulars aud she
| will be able to fill his order.
| The most important letter is one that
contains the startling information that
| the writer has a stamp bearing the date
/ of 1882 and with Washington s name
/ upon it. As this is ia years prior tC
the date of the original BrattleborC
stamp, which was among the earliest is
sued, and as Washington at about that
time was in swaddling clothes, such 6
stamp would be of very great valu,
and would completely put in the shad,
all past reputation earned by the Brat
tleboro stamp.
The postmaster had no intention OF
engaging in the practice of eollectin!
rare stamps, but if such startling Offer
as this are to continue it may be tha
he will decide to invest a few stra,
dollars in picking up such valuable
curiOSitieS.
