Thieves Take Pigs
At Geo. Bailey Farm

Thieves who preferred live stock
to other valuables broke into the
barn at the George Bailey place on
outer Windsor Street, Randolph
sometime during the night Sunday
and stole three young pigs. The
barn is some little distance from the
house proper SO that probably ac-
counted for the ease with which the
break was made, nothing being
known of the disturbance until
morning. Farmers in that vicinity
are indignant over such theft, and
are making every effort to find out
who the culprits were. They have
no definite clues but are working on
the case, and solicit any information
regarding mysterious movements
that night so as to do all possible to
clear up the matter.
