HoRsEs Found. - Some weeks
since, we published an account OF the
losing of team and carriage by
Vance & Louthan. They had ad.
vertised them everywhere, and could
not get any account OF them. One
day this week, Mr. Vance received q
dispatch from Mr. Sommers from
Fremont, stating that his grey horse
was waiting for him, to come and
identify him. 1t appears that Mr..
Sommers recognized the horse in
front of one of the hotels, while the
man having him in his possession,
was trying to sell him. Mr.. S. told
the man that the horse was one sto.
len from Vance, and demanded that
he should be put into a stable to
await the order Of the owner. This
was refused, and Sommers got out ,
writ of replevin, and took the horse
Shortly after receiving the first dis
patch, Mr.. Vance received another
from Mr.. Jacobs, the man in who's,
possession the horse was found, sta
ting that he had traded for the hors,
in good faith, should not stand tria
on the writ, and ought to have tn
reward of $40 offered for the recoy
cry of the property. Later Mr.. Y
received another dispatch from ia
cobs, saying that he had found th
other horse and carriage.
We are informed that Mr.. S. ha
some considerable trouble in gettin
possession of the grey horse, and thi
he had to borrow halter to get hil
to stable, the person havidg him
possession, stripping off every stra
in the street, and refusing to len
even a halter to lead him away witt
There is something of mix som
where. and probably more than Il
