Editor Herall:
Allow me to pen you few line,
concerning a very exciting chase after
4 horse thief, on Sunday night and
Monday morning. near Butord, Ky.
On Sunday evening there was a very
suspicious looking character lurking
around there. He stopped at Mr..
James Troglin's and called for his sup,
per, but told them that he did not
have any money to pay for il. Mr..
Troglin very kindly gave him his sup.
per, and when he aros, from the table
he picked up his hat and left very uIi,
tremendously, not even saying thank
You, good evening, or any thing what
ever. His actions caused Mr.. Troglin
to suspicion him, 50 he set out to watch
him. 1t was not long TIL dark, and
MIR. Troglin thought the best thing he
could do was TO go and see his neigh
bors and tell them, 81 that they might
be on the lookout. After he had told
five or six of his nearest neighbors the
circumstances, they all concluded to
20 10 Troglin's and see il they could
not find out where he hal gone. So
they started on his track in the din &C.
ton of Lewis Bales; they tracked
him through the field to Bales horse
lot; there the fun commenced. They
first looked in the stable and found
the horses all there. Then Mr.. Lewis
Bales climbed up TO the loft window
from the outside of the rtable and
looked in. There lay the individ-
ual locked for. Mr.. Bales order
ell him to surrender. Upon this
lie jumped to his feet and threw
up a six shooter within about six inch
Is of Mr.. Bales nose; this to commences
with was somewhat interesting, but
fortunately for Mr.. Bales there was
Il hole through the floor where they
put the hay down, and in his jumping
he fell through. Mr.. Bales yelled out,
look out, boys; there he comes. lie run
out through the back way and one of
the men fired one or two shots at him,
then the chase commenced. and he
played Il good hand, leaving his coat,
vest, hat and boots, so you see he WI;
prepared TO run.
The names of the parties in the
chase-Lewis Bales. James Northern,
Nels. Ray, Aaron Townsley. James
Troglin and Chas. Turley-they did
not get the man, but they captured
quite a lot of goods. Oue very fine re-
volver, one good watch, one fac dirk
knife, two pocket knives, one razor,
one pocket compass, several maps Of
different States, letters and papers, one
gaugers' book. One or two of the let
tiers were from John Belt, of WiScon-
sin, some ten or twelve dollars worth
Of jewelry, but best ofall was 81, 800 in

is young lrishman, about % or -
years of aye, shaved clean. except Il
thick, dark moustache; weight about
lSJ pounds, had on dark pants and
colored shirt, neither coat, vest, hat or
shoes. They also captured about 30
rounds of cartridges. They still think
perhaps they will get him yet. Look
out, Wisconsin thieves you Lad better
