LOADED WOOD WRECKED STOVE
Dummerston Farmer Used Ancient
Method to Punish Thief.

Brattleboro, Nov. 25.-That II Is not
profitable to steal from a farmers
woodpile IS the lesson learned by
Dummerston resident. according to
information that came from that place.
For some time persons living in that
town have missed fowls from their hen
roosts and wood from their woodpiles
and suspicion has rested upon man
living in shack there.
One of the farmers who thought to
teach the man n lesson selected fine
chunk of wood from his pile, bored
hole in II. put in heavy charge or
powder, plugged up the hole and
sawed off the plug. Then he placed
the chunk back in the pile in con-
spicuous place. where 1t naturally
would be picked up by anyone stealing
from that woodpile.
The stove in the suspected mans
shack was blown up and the pieces
we're piled outside the building. Luck
lily the man was not injured and the
shack was not set on fire.
