Animal.
IT WAS STOLEN.
The Stolen Animal Had Been Sold in New
0 York. ‘
Last week Oscar Canfield of Silver
Mine had a horse stolen from his barn,
and since that time he had given the
animal up for lost.
On Wednesday Mr. Canfield went to
New York to purchase another animal.
He visited the several horse marts on
the east side and looked over the stock.
In the last place he visited he was
greatly. surprised to have his own
horse trotted out before. him for sale.
Mr. Canfield at once claimed his
property, but the dealer would not
give him up until he had furnished
sufficient proof.
Armed with the necessary proof, Mr.
Canfield went to New York again yes-
terday and secured his horse.

The Baptist churc- on King street,
Greenwich, around which clusters rev-

oldest place of worship in that town,
was destroyed by fire early yesterday

His Life Was Saved.
Mr. J. E. Lilly, a prominent citizen
of Hannibal, Mo., lately had a wonder-
ful deliverance from a frightful death.
In telling of it he says : “ I was taken
with Typhoid Fever, that ran into
Pneumonia. My lungs became hard-
ened. I was so weak I couldn’t even
sit up in bed. Nothing helped me. I
expected to soon die of Consumption,
when I heard of Dr. King’s New Dis-
covery. One bottle gave great relief.
I continued to use it, and now am well
and strong; I can’t say too much in its
praise.” This marvellous medicine is
the surest and quickest cure in the
world for all Throat and Lung trouble.

FALSE REPORT.
StrictRules at Miss Baird’s..\lnstitute Foils a
' l’hief.
The report that Miss' Baird’s Insti:
tute was robbed of some $400 or $500
worth! of watches, diamonds and money
yesterday afternoon is false.
The true story of the afiair is as fol-
lows: Yesterday afternoon between 1
a id 2 o'clock, a man I appeared at the
back door with a book and pencil in
his hand and told the housekeeper he
desired to inspect the electric lights.
As Miss Baird under no circumstances
allows anyone to enter her institute on
errands of this kind without an attend-
ant, the housekeeper sent for Miss
Baird’s coachmanand the latter went
up stairs with him. '
.The stranger upon entering one of
the the coachman
to get him a screwdriver. The latter
went dowu stairs after the screwdriver
leaving the man alone for about three
minutes. In that time, however, he
succeeded in taking Miss Atherton’s
watch and fifteen cents in money. This
is the sum and substance of the story
which is being exaggerated as it is
rooms asked
passed along.
The man is described as being about
5 feet 7inches tall with smoothface ex-
cepting moustasche which apparently
was of a week’s growth.
He undoubtedly intended to search
the premises, but the strict rule adop-
ted by Miss Baird not to allow anyone
inside the school unless accompanied
by an attendant, foiled the would be
thief. i '
