BLE.--Mr. Jacob Wells, oil Boone county,
had four horses slnlen from him on the
night Of the Odd Of March. He tracked
the thieves to Beaver Lake, in Jasper coun.
~, in which there is on island, where il is
supposed a large gang Of horse thieves,
burglars and conn,eriei,ers had their rem
devious. He dashed into the lake, aud
swan his horse to the island, a distance OF
,hree-quarters Of mile; and when, us We
ienrn from the Laia, cite Journal, he was
within wading distance OF the island shore,
he was stopped by five men armed to the
teeth, who told him if he approached the
island one step further he would do il nj
the peril Of his life, each pointed cooked
gun at him.
lie told them ina, they Ind his horses
and tina, he would be compensated for them,
lei the consequences be what they nigh, :
that his object was not 10 expose them but
10 recover his horses or the money Tor them.
They seeing his bravery and determine
tion, requested him TO come ashore, which
he did, The, told him tina, fhe would swear,
upon his honnr, that he would not expose
The nnmes Of any Of those he nigh, know,
and keep secret all The Transactions during
the night, as il was late 10 the evening,
they would remunerate him for his horses,
and that he should share their kindest hes
pitali,y during the night, and be taken TO
the lake shore the next morning.
Under such embarrassing circumstances
he could no, do otherwise than accept their
proposition. lie was taken to large cave
on this island, provided with supper, and
then shown all the implements such ms vii
