Game
From
the
Town Team by the Score of 11-6 on
Wednesday.
Make an attempt to get away
with three animals of Hornbeek Brothers.
DISCOVERED JUST IN
THE NICK OF TIME.
Posse organized but no trace
of the culprits secured.
.A bold attempt was made Sunday
night to steal the big team of Hoornbeek Brothers at Arkvllle as well as a
single horse belonging to the same
firm. The attempt was frustrated by
the home coining of the boys who
found t h e ' horses leady to be taken
away.
No trace of the thieves has
been secured but the horses are being
carefully watched to prevent a second
attempt.
Stanley Hoornbeek drove out of
town Sunday afternoon witli one of
their four horses and Sunday evening
the other member of the firm, Corbie,
went to church.
Mrs. Hoornbeek,
their mother, remained at home and
during the evening heard on two or
three occasions a sharp whistle but
thought little of it supposing that it
was the signals of some boys who
might be strolling up or down the
road.
Corbie came home about 10 o'clock
and saw a light in the barn and supposed that his brother had come home
and was putting out his horse. Corbie
wont into the house and then decided
that he better help his brother "unhook" and put the horse in.
When
he got to the barn he was surprised to
find the big team, with their halters
on, hitched near the door ready to be
led away. The single harness had
been taken down to put on the third
horse and the light buckboard wagon
drawn up in front of the barn door. It
was very evidentally the intention of
the thelves to drive the single horse
and lead the team.
They had been
scared away as they were to harness
the single horse and-had dropped the
harness to escape.
Three minutes
more would have been enough to have
effected the deal and make a get away.
Mr. Hoornbeek quickly gathered a
posse and a search was made of the
surrounding countryside but no trace
of the culprits could be discovered.
They would have been handled none
too gently had they been found.
' The Hoornbeek boys are guarding
the animals carefully since Sunday.
The fast Margaretville High School
baseball team defeated the town team

With an exceptionally rainy season
and late spring thus far, preventative
measures for forest fires have not been
necessary.
April had about twice its

snow left the woods at a very late date
But now we may expect dryer weather,
during the corning spring and summer
months.
Hence precautions are necessary.
Both from the view-point of
economic and scenic value, the woods
hereabouts are a great advantage.
Even a small fire which only seems to
burn the dead leaves and has not in
the least injured the large trees, has
still destroyed the little saplings, and
thus decreased tin; value of the stand

Out of regard for the beauty, at
least, of your farm and its surroundings, use care.
Do not throw away
matches, cigars or cigarettes without
being sure that all fire in them is extinguished. Do not light unnecessary
fires in the woods, and if it is necessary to light them, clear a space of
dead leaves and grass for a good distance around and be sure they are
entirely out before you leave them. It
is only carelessness which causes 99
out of 100 of the disastrous forest tires
