employed on the P. & O. Railroad went over
to the circus at Cornish, and after the perform.
ance stole nice horse and wagon and started
off with it. Going over Hemlock Bridge be
broke the wagon but, nothing daunted, stole
another TO replace it, After proceeding some
distance misfortune pursued him and he broke
the second one, and he therefore made love te
a third. Mr.. John F. Anderson returning
from the Notch, passed him on his way thithel
and noticed him particularly from his remark
ing that the road was narrow for two people
although he did not recognize him. Shortly
after Mr.. Anderson passed man in hot pur
suit of the the thief and shortly after encoun
tered the Sheriff with his posse comitatas head
ing in the same direction.
