The proper officers have been laying
low for some time past in an effort
to locate the thief or gapg of thieves
who some time ago stole a large num-
Der of valuable hens from Peter Muir
ray in the Alder brook district. Hens
were also stolen at about the same
time from Mrs Addie Carr in the same
section of the town At about the
same time some person or persons with
a wagon or car backed up to Frank
Kidder's shed and very quietly carted
away about 10 bushels of potatoes.
Some time after these depredations
Bert Cobb missed about 80 of the ME
est cabbages out of his garden that
could be grown anywhere. And last
week Wade Benjamin, the stage driy-
or, missed several gallons Of new cider
from the cellar of his house on Maple
street As to the first three robberies,
there seem to be no clues to follow
but as to the theft of the cabbages
certain well known citizen remarked in
a lodge meeting a few evenings ago
that he claimed there was no need of
looking any further for the cabbage
thieves, as it was done by the local
sauer kraut trio, which is made up Of
?. A. Shattuck, W. r. Fraser and ]. f.
Appolt, but this trio most emphatically
denies this allegation, even though the
first mentioned person has made three
barrels of Bauer kraut this fall, and
the second mentioned gentleman has
made one, and that they have an enor-
nous appetite for this favorite dish is
no reason to believe they took Bert's
cabbages As TO Wade's cider, he has
his suspicious, but is lying low until
the proper time to lay his hands on
the eulprius, though he does not expect
to see the cider again.
