An attempt at theft OF horse wa
made during the night at the home o
Mr.. and Mrs. Ernest Fisher, who oe
cupy the Bolster house on the Eas
Barre road. Shortly before midnigh
the occupants of the house wer
aroused by sounds in the barn, an
thinking the horse might be caugh
in the halter rope, went down stairs
No further sound being heard, furthe
attention was not given the mattel
and not until Mr.. Fisher went 70 til
barn at 4.s0 TO feed the horse thu
morning did they have any idea 0
what was taking place. 1t seems tia
whoever the would-be thief was, h
gained entrance to the barn by climb
ing through the hay entrance over IN
large doors and reaching the stapi
floor cut the rope close up to the hal
ter that held the horse. The bar
door was locked from the inside an
near the door is trap three by tvs
feet. 1t is supposed the weight Q
) the animal on the trap, which spran
down, was too great, consequently
gave way and in some manner almos
unbelievable, the horse was rreclp
taed to the basement below, y dis
: lance of IL feet. This unexpeete
happening in the plans of the burgla
evidently frustrated further attempt
and exit was made without takin
ANYTHING. Mr.. Fisher, on missing IN
horse. looked around and found III
trap broken down and went 10 tn
basement expecting to find his hors
> with broken leg or even worse, bu
was surprised to find only mino
scratches, and no lameness. II
thought by the Fishers that the THE
knew the surroundings.
