Dear Freeman In your last issue noted |
the arrest Of an alleged horse thief by Major |
Ryckman, and although circumstances |
seemed to indicate that the Young man had |
came by the horse surreptitiously, his reti-
cence in regard to his name, or anything
pertaining to himself, and no possible clue
fixing his identity in the supposed stealing
Of the animal being obtainable, it was deter
mined. on Monday last, to discharge him,
but when just about permitting him to take
his departure constable from Canonsburg,
Pa, made his appearance, and at once iden-
titled him as a young fellow named Rode
baugh, who, il was supposed, had stolen the
horse. and recognized the animal as the
property OF 3 citizen OF that locality. After
satisfying the Burgess that ne was all that
he represented himself 20 De-, ne was per
mitted to take the prisoner with hlm, 20 be
lodged in Jail at the above place until he
could be tried Ihe prisoner was @ncODieds =
but at Homewood Station, near Plttsburghs
he succeeded u making his escape through
car window, just as the tram was starting,
and the strange part OF the story Is, that al
/ though the constable jumped on and caught
him, he alleges the boy 8 grip was stronger
| than his, and so he escaped. There is some
| thing peculiar IN the idea OF hobbled boy
escaping from stout, active man, and l
could not help remarking the singuiarlty OF
the affair at the time the constable was mar
rating it. To my mind 1t seems clear that the
supposed officer was . confederate, and after
permitting bis prisoner TO escape ne returned
to get the horse. The police had, however,
sssmelled the mice" and refused to denver
| up the animal until the owner would make
bis appearance
A boy named Foster, thirteen years OF age,
met with sad death at one OF the Company
ore mines. on tuesday last: The boy had
hitched bis mule to tram OF ore cars,
