DIES MONIES, Iowa, March S.--The
Howard County horse thieves, men,
toned in former correspondence, are
likely to come TO grief. Suspicion
was strong against William Griswold
a VIGOROUSLY bad man, on general
principles, and, few nights ago,
about 100 Vigilantes of that county
paid him visit, provided with all
the appliances for q "necktie socia-

men meant business, to save his neck

his pals, and all the circumstances OF
various thcfts Of horses, hogs, cattle,
and other property, which have been
perpetrated in that county for several
months. After getting all the infor-
nation wanted, Griswold was SUR
rendered to the law officers and
lodged in Jail at Crcsco.
| About three weeks ago Dan M.
Flynn. of Dallas County, had val.
liable horse stolen. On Tuesday last
tho horse was returned bv a man who
assured Mr.. Flynn that the thief had
been captured, but had been retired

days ago over special train that was
to be put on the X. & D. M. road for

village at the mouth of the river.
Tom manufactured that train him
