The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1921-01-20

Chas. Stearns, who lives on the John
Ehr farm three miles west of Minot,
reports the loss Of nine complete sets
of harness, about Is of his very best
horse collars, saddle and bride,
sometime Thursday night. Mr.. Stearns
upon going to the barn at $3.50 the
following morning, could not find
enough harness to hitch horse to
stone boat. For the first time this
winter, the faithful old dog had been
shut in the COW barn and the thieves
were not bothered in their work. Mr..
Stearns was in the barn at $3.50 that
evening. The thieves evidently took
their everlasting time in sorting out
the harness and must have spent an
hour or two in the barn. They took
the pads off the harness ana hung
them up in an orderly manner on the
pegs. They wanted only the best and
left two old canvas collars, removing
the martingales and the lines. They
left four old cheap leather collars
and overlooked one good bride which
hung in an out Of the way place. The
loss to Mr.. Stearns is fully $500, as
he had some very good harness and it
will cost him six or seven hundred
dollars to replace his loss. He offers
$50 reward for the recovery of the
harness.
