Twenty Gallons of Lard
Stolen from Farmer

Mystery surrounds the theft of
twenty gallons of newly rendered lard
in four stone jars which took place
at the home of Guy Davenport, two
miles south OF town on the Boston
pike. Three families in the neighbor-
hood butchered on Tuesday and two
OF the farmers rendered their lard and
left it in the butcher house on the
Guy Davenport farm. On Tuesday
morning 1t was gone.
No trace of the robbers mas been
found Sheriff Carr said it was a
mystery how anyone could carry
away so much hot lard There were
no signs Of any wagon wheels. The
butcher house is near the creek.
Theories expounded by the farmers
living near are that the thieves knew
of the butchering and thought they
would get the shoulders and hams.
When they got to the butcher house
they found that these had been taken
TO the house so they used the sacks
which they had brought with them to
put around the tops of the jars and
took them away. Chicken feathers
were found on the premises, which
lead to the conclusion that the thieves
were in the habit Of carrying stolen
chickens in the sacks.
