We are told Wootten has been engaged
for s0nc time past in horse stealing and is
very desperate character. He ID thus

ple1ion, blue eyes, dark bsir, long Hack
whiskers and short mustache, had on DIRK
cotton pants, short tail coat of dark cotton,

black cashmere pants.
We regret that such scamp should be
allowed to 60 at large, setting aside life
and law to accomplish his wicked deeds.

must say, that there is no security in them !;
they are not constructed as they should be
