(By George W. Diefenbach)

(By George W. Diefenbach)
Grantsville, June 29-About a week
ago thieves broke open lock at the
home of Jacob L. Kinsinger, pried off
several boards from one of his out
buildings, where he had various ma
terials stored and carried off twenty
nine wool fieeces, among them being
one black fleece; also about twelve
gallons of applebutter. The Kinsin-
gers did not know there was anything
disturbed until the next morning, so
stealthily did the maurauders work.
Certainly there should be something
done to curb this continuous disregard
for law, causing the farmers of this
community to lose much valuable
property each year.
