cntranco was conecaled by covering it

passed this den to a distant market, is un
known j bui when discovered two were
in it, which, however, wero taken out and
disappeared before legal steps were taken.
A pile of manure was found in the stable,
and a considerable pile several rods from
there, thrown into a slough and conceal

prosecution of the marauding scoundrels
who have lately lit upon tho western
