his former arrest.
1t appears that the mules we're owned BY
man named West, Who lives near Viniis
in the Indian Territory. Young had been
to Texas, and was on his return with his
father in-law. CT least he claims he
was.) However that may be, he came e
Vinita some time in October, and hung
around there some time under the alias ol
Wilson.
One day he disappeared, and fine pair
Of mules belonging to Mr.. West disappear
ed about the same time. This coincidence
led Mr.. West to believe he was the Thief,
and he had hand bills printed with 4 re-
ward offered for the arrest of the thief and
return of the property.
To follow the chain Of circumstances as
related, We will nov follow Young, or rath-
er Wilson. After running away With the

West. Mr.. West failed TO respond and
Young was released and went out 10 Mr..
Hoods, who is . relative. There he has
been ever since, working on the farm.
Mr.. West succeeded in tracking his stock
to Paola and recovered them. The State oi
Kansas and the livery stable keepers we're
