FROM PANAcA.-A young man named
Adolphus Cyphers was Yesterday brought
from Panaca by the Constable of that
place, on charge Of horse stealing, the
man walking all the way from there to
Phoebe, whilst the Constable rode along
SIDE OF him. Andy Fife locked him up
In the County Jail, but finding that there
was no commitment against him, after
wards turned1bim loose. 1t appears that
the young man borrowed horse from a
near station to visit Panaca, intending to
return In couple Of days with the ami
NAL having no intention of keeping the
morse, hence the party from whom the
horse was taken would make no COM
plant.
