On Sunday Sheriff Dodds and others questioned people along the roads lead j ing north from the road between Mt. Chestnut and Prospect as to any team passing along Friday night or Saturday morning but could secure no clue, but since that word has come to Butler that a gray team hauling a covered wagon did pass the stone-house going north Saturday, and as a man with a gray team was in the vicinity of Portersville last week, selling harness very cheap, it may be that the same man who stole all the harness in Buffalo twp., on Sun day night the 18th inst., robbed Ram sey's store in Portersville on Friday night the 23rd.
