midnight hour, 'some party, or parties
so far not knoivn entered his garage
and removed all the tires from his
splendid sedan, taking also the spare
tire, the battery and, to crown the.
dastardly outrage, stole his chickens.
M. Hinsdale did not discover the
theft until he went to take out -his
car to come to eliurch Sunday after-
noon and he certainly has the entire
sympathy of all honest and upright
.nen. The lossis a heavy one as we.
understand there were about 100
chickens taken. With the'advent of

outrages seem to be too easily° pulled
off and it is to be hoped that some-
thing will turn up that -will lead td
