GIVES MIDNIGHT ALARM
Farmer Stout was awakened
from a sound sleep by the ringing
of his telephone hell. The barn
of his neighbor, three miles down
the turnpike, had been broken
into and a driving horse stolen.
The horse-thieves were headed
toward the Stout farm. Calling
his hands he armed his forces,
lined them upon the turnpike, cap-
tured the thieves and held them
until the arrival of the Sheriff./
