An Exciting Evening, The village police force was call ed out Sunday evening to look up two of our younger foreign popula tion who were charged with steal ing a horse from the Walker House barns. The young men were found at Perry, where they bad gone with their lady friends to at tend a dance. They were brought back here and taken before Judge Piper, who upon hearing their story, let them off, if they would settle the costs in the case. It seems they were hardly guilty of theft. A man from Warsaw hitch ed his horse in the Walker House barns in the afternoon during Mr. Walker's absence. Upon the let ter's retutn, the two young men, in broken English, asked Mr. Walker for a horse. He supposed the one in the barn was theirs or some of their friends, and let them have it, after they had paid what be asked for keeping it. Tbe boys claimed they thought they were hiring a livery rig. When the owner show ed up, he thought the rig had been stolen and called out the officers to apprehend the thieves. While the officers were after the horse thieves, an irate housewife found a young woman at the depot, whom she charged with trying to steal her husband's affections. Strong language ensued, ending in blows and a hair pulling scrap, which ended in favor of the wife, as far as the fight went, but we un derstand the \affinity\ still has possession of the husband. The wife has this consolation, however, that \hubby\ will be back as soon as his money is gone, which won't be long. 81st Birthday. 1 Mr. and Mrs. W.
