horse belonging 10 Mr.. David Baire ol
Lewis township and another belonging 10
Mr.. James IL. Allen Of the same neigh'
borhood, were stolen frsm Higginsport
and taken 10 Lawrenceburgh Indiana.
where on the following Monday mOrn>

suspicion that they were stolen. But a
small sum ofthe purchase money was
paid down, and the thieves were reques>
ted TO remain in the town a day or two
until the remainder Of the money could
be paid. They waited part OF the day,
when they became fe arful of detection,
and left. Pursuit was Immediately made,
but without effect. The owners obtain

We have heard Of great many horses
being stolen 10 this region within two or
three weeks past; and the whole couRtry
seems to be OverruA BY gang Of thieves

"a number OF friends who waited upon

permit his name to be used because he
