Upon their return to town they reported the matter to constable Stiegler, who vis- ited isited the premises to investigate. As- certaining that the goods were stol- en from Jos. Lorentz while the lat- ter, with his family, were absent in the forenoon attending a funeral, the 'constable. and Mr. Lorentz planned to lie in ambush near where the chickens and grain were hidden, and wait for the thieves to come and take possession. About ten -thirty Satur- day night three men, accompanied by .a dog, entered the swamp. Unfor- tunately, the dog scented trouble, and while still 'some distance from the hidden men, it began to bark, and the trio turned and bolted.
