~ On Wednesday Of last week a
young man named Daniel Harris stole a
horse belonging to Mr.. Ashbough of
Prescott. Harris after getting the horse
hardly knew what to do with him, and
having taken him as far as Stephen Mat
teson's in Pleasant Valley attempted to
sell him. Mr.. Matteson, suspecting the
horse was stolen, detained the young man
and very properly put him to work with
his harvesters in q wheat field, while he
brought the horse to this place to discover
the owner. A warrant was made OUT
Harris was arrested and examined before
VIM. A. Tozer, Justice of the Peace, and
bound over to await trial at the next
court
We learn that Harris is the son of a
widow, living at Black River Falls in this
State. He is q very inferior looking
person.
G. J. RIKER, Deputy Sheriff, has
in his possession a valuable bride, found
on the stolen horse. The owner can re.
cover it by calling on him and proving
property.
