HORSE STEAL1Nc,.--W learn that on the
night of April 4th, four mules, two from
the stable of Tariton johnson, Lsq, of
Chatham, and two from the premises of j.
J. Collision, his neighbor, were stolen and
driven off in this direction. The thief or
thieves were pursued and tracked to with
in a short distance of this place, on the old
Western Plank Road, after which a party
was made up here, which so successfully
followed up the trail that the foraging par
fv-v ptol- foy Io1o
and the mules recovered, but the thieves
ran off and made their escape. Horse steal
ing is greatly on the increase, and the ut
most penalties of the law.should be applied
to the perpetrators of the crime.
