Horse Thief Captured.

Saturday evening, while Chief Markham
and detective Squire were walking up
River street, says the Troy Times, they
were informed that drunken man was en-
deavoring to dispose of buggy at the cor
ner of North Third and Hoosck streets.
The officers at once proceeded to the place,
and Chief Markham, entering into CONVEX
sation with the man, was soon convinced
that the property had been stolen. The
stranger told Markham that at Poultney,
VT, he obtained the buggy and horse
and S65 IN exchange for team OF horses.
Markham at once accused the man of hav-
ing stolen the buggy, and accordingly ar
rested him. King, for such the stranger
said was his name, told the detective that he
hired the horse at Poultney, and, being
drunk at the time drove away with the AMI
NAL. The horse was hired Thursday
or Friday, he had forgotten which
The prisoner, however, after considerable
cross, questioning, admitted that he hired
the horse of liveryman named Qun at
Rutland, who was telegraphed to by Su-
perintendeat McKenna. In answer to the
supcrintendcnts dispatch, Quin replied
That horse and buggy had been stolen
from him, and requested the detention of
the prisoner. King was accordingly, Sun

Rutland officers. In conversation with us
he acknowledged that his name was
O'Brien, and not King. He said he never
had been in Jail before-an improbable
story, as he is hardened looking sinner.
1t is thought that he lives near Waterford.
Whoever he is, he will receive short shrift
at the hands of Green Mountain jury.
The horse which O'Brien stole must have
Travelled pretty lively. He left Rutland
Friday and was in Troy Saturday morning.

harnesses several times. During the talk

Dogs on their Dignity.

West Rutland had sensation last week.
A dog fight was arranged. After six
o'clock one evening a great, long, lank,
lean man appeared near the depot, leading
a great, long, lank, lean dog. The dog
was of peculiar drab color, as though he
had been drawn through u dozen mud
holes, had stump of a tail sticking fierce
ly up into the air, his face showed the
scars of number of battles, his ears were
cropped close, and altogether he looked as
il he meant business. crowd of nearly
three hundred, embracing all nationalitles,
colors and conditions of the human race,
gathered around to admire the pugnacious
brute, and followed to the quarry where
the fight was to come off.
Sitting room was soon at a discount. The
roof of the blacksmith shop, the derrick
boom, posts to which derrick guys are fast
ened and all stray blocks of marble were
covered with eager faces spelling for the
fray.
Then the owner of the other dog came
out. The crowd awed him. The long dog
looked confident and the betting was in his
favor. He thought he wouldn't try it.
His dog was sick. Then such stream of
profanity and maledction as was poured
on the head of that poor man. The owner
of the long dog wanted to fight him. but
thought better Of it. His dogs powers
we're certain, but his own doubtful.
So he took his deg and retired, followed
by half the crowd. The other half re-
manned to stir up the owner of the other
dog. They succeeded. A foe a long way
off looks weak, and the man called his dog
"a heavy bull-dog-and started in pursuit
of his enemy. Half way to the depot he
overlook the crowd, and his courage being
still strong, offered to let his dog fight
The other owner cast contemptuous
glance at the bulldog, and with sniff of
his nose, agreed. A ring was formed, the
prelimnares arranged and the dogs let
loose. But then it was discovered that the
dogs had minds of their own. They would
not fight, obedient to their masters beck,
after the ignoble treatment they had re-
ceived. No indeed They played with
each other good-naturedly, but nothing
could induce them to fight. The crowd
tried all the methods of provocation known
to the most experienced, but in vain. AT
last the owners gave it up and left and the
crowd broke up, swallowing their disap-
pointment as best they might, most of
them splitting out deal of profanity to
make room for it.

Contest Between United States and County

On Thursday evening last, Justice Hatch,
of Newtown, visited the Office of Justice
Murphy of Winfield, New Jersey, for the
purpose of drawing up decree in an APP
peal case. In this business the two were
engaged until half-past eleven, when JUS
tice Murphy, as the last train had. left for
Newtown, decided to walk home in com
pany with Justice Hatch, and they left the
office for that purpose. On the way they
stopped at the lager beer saloon of An
thony Brunz, and while there Hamann, the
postmaster at Winfield, who, 1t is alleged,
was under the influence of liquor, entered
the saloon and asked for drinks, which
were supplied to him. The postmaster
then commenced to abuse Justice Murphy,
