KIDNAPPING
An unhappy :mother cat whose 'fam-
ily had mysteniousry disappeared, was
in a position to's'yntpathise with Mrs.
iLindbergh, when yesterday she spied
an innocent little white dog •witha
yellow 'patch on one eye, who came
trotting along. Apparently think'in'g
there was a clue to the "kittenapper"
she crept up on unsuspecting doggie.
as he searched for a bone he had bur-
ied at some previous timed Four sets
of vengeful claws landed on his back
and he ran :away howling in agony
with the cat clinging to him, and his
'cries could still ',be'heard as he dis-
appeared in the distance. The poor
mother in New Jersey is not afforded
such relief of vented feelings.

,ROBBE'RY IN EGMOIN'D',VIL'LE
To She Editor, The Seaforth News.
Dear Sir !1n the once quiet vil-
lage of E'gtn'ondville where each one•
trusted his, neighbor and where thiev-
ery was unknown until these last few
months or years, it is now different;
even fishing rods which can be
bought for very:little, are taken. In
the house that was vacated after the
death of the late Fred Robinson lights
were seen for several nights in the
upper windows some .weeks ago
When no one was living there. Neigh-
hors' curious gotu i• s aatd went to the door
and rapped but got no answer and
thought • some!one had forgotten to
turn the lights off, but on reaching
,home the lights were off. It is said
several of the n•eighlbors at different
times saw the same thing but thought
it was some Of the family or friends.
However, when Mrs. Robinson went
to the house bast Saturday she 'found
tathtiev`e,s had entered and taken Clothes
a'nd all her stuff she had stored there
!for safe keeping While s'he was in
]Detroit. Tracks had been followed
downa side street where the vandals
had gone and there are suspicions of
:who they are. Df the culprits are
caught an example should be made of
them. On the other Band, if they
have any conscience or honor, they
can put them in . the stable or garage
and no questions will be asked, and
further trouble will be' saved.
