Local News: Mr. Andrew McCredie of Bristol was robbed of a valuable horse and Mr. John Murray of Clarendon Front was relieved of a buggy on Thursday night last. It seems Mr. McCredie was engaged during the day threshing at Mr. Murray’s and in the evening took the latter’s buggy and one of his own horses to go to his home after some fixtures for the mill.

He returned some time after dark and leaving the buggy where he had found it, put his horse in the stable in the stall assigned to it. Satisfied that everything was alright, he then retired with the members of the Murray household.

When morning came, however, and the men went out to feed their horses, they discovered that the buggy was missing and with it Mr. McCredie’s horse that he had driven the night before.
