eight or TEN hours advance Of them, some
troops, mounted On the Reeiest animals Of tbe
command, managed tooyertake him, and bring
him back, with some Of the stolen horses
The thief was Immediately tried, and summa-
fity sentenced to be soundly logged. He re-
ceived one hundred Iashess but It appears, from
coniectutes pretty well founded, that thay did
not save bis life. On being set al liberty, he
was supposed 70 have been waylaid and shot,
BY one Of those whom he had deprived Of his
horse. A similar event occurred At China
During the stay there, Of the Rangers, three
horses were carried NJ, but d pursuit having

taken place, he lhisf was caught and imme-
diately shot. In his terror, The poor wretch
denounced his master, d citizen of China, and
q man Of substance, as having set him on, and
vengeance will no doubt fall on Tie Don, as
the Rangers are determined to cure lie Mexi-
