From Mr.. J. L. OBsyan Of Boonvill.
the BAzoo learns the following particular
of horse-stesling affair tina, occurred il
that city on Monday evening:
Mr.. w. A. McNulty, q butcher Of Boon
willie, has had in his employ for some tim
past. . young man by the name Of Frarl
Henby, Who up to last Monday, had alw.y
conducted himself in an honorable xnt
straightforward manner But he com
mitied an act on last Monday evening, ths
will forever brand him - felon among
his fellow men.
About three O'Clock in the evening OF
the above mentioned day, Mr.. McN2liy,
not suspecting that Henhy would leave,
gave him $3l in money and his pony, anj
told him to ride out in the country and
purchase . couple Of beef cattle. Henby took
the money and hone, aid left, and since
that time has made himself rather scarce
around Boonville, as he did not return, and
Mr.. McNulty is now snx;ously awaiting
developments.
Mr.. O'Bryan made inquiries in this city
this morning, and learned that Henby was
in the city yesterday morning about nine
O'Clock. Mr.. Jack Newton said that he
came 10 his meat market about that time in
the morning, and after staying short time.
left. and he had not seen him since. Mr.
O'Bryan also made inquiries Of several other
persons, and they all stated that they saw
Frank on the streets yesterday.
After making inquiries, and being told
that Henby had been seen in the city, Mr..
OBryan then hunted up Marshal Kelly,
and told him all about the occurrence, as
veil ~ giving him description Of the
hone and thief.
Henby is about twenty-four years Of age,
with q rather pleasing appearance, and had
on good clothes and new pair Of boots
when he was II Mr.. Newton's shop.
The horse IL brown, about fourteen
hands high, new shoes on the hind feet,
and is about Eve yeas old. The saddle that
was on the horse had new stirrup strap on
the right hand side. The horse has a pc
cu!i.rity Of not letting any person open its
mouth.
After being informed BY Mr.. OBryan,
Marshal Kelly posted his force to be ON
the lookout for the thief. Henby formerly
worked for Newton & Sons. in this city, pre-
vious to going to Boonville. The horse he
took from Mr.. McNulty is worth about
thirty dollars.
Il vas ascertained that Henby left for his
fathers, who lives at Cole Camp, last night.
with another man, his partner, and thu,
they had in their possession about half
dozen horses, but whether they had been
stolen or not, u not knwn. Nevertheless.
the police are alter him. and il is safe
10 say that in the course of few days he
will be l.nguishing in durance vile, and
pining in vain for liberty.

ago. Slice that time he has painted With
the desire to become acquainted With her !;
and, .s he saw rival after rival baskine in
her sunny smiles, be assumed all kinds Of
colors in the frenzy Of his jealously. He
finally found out where abe was stopping.
and, Is misfortune las il proved him; would
have il, her residence was very near the
home Of friend Of the clerks. Saturday
he saw another deiested rival lead her home,
and he could stand it no longer, but followed
behind the twain, and heard sweet word
or two as il 6o.ted back.
When the couple vent into the house, be
vent into that of his friend, almost adjoin-
ing the other, and prevailed upon him to
give him chance Of getting look at the
couple ~ they sat in the parlor Of the other
house, and esvesdrop them, il it could be
done. Peeping around the corner, they got
only partial view of the couple, and con-
cluded to 90 on the roof, where . splendid
chance was afforded Of seeing and hearing
with much danger Of being seen.
When the two had ascenIed to their
lofty pesrch, sight met their view which
made the jealous lover fro.h at the
mouth. Could il be that his crooked noaed
rival had his arm aronnd the waist of the
lovely creature? He kept peeping, crawling
up nearer ard nearer TO the caves. ill With
fearful shrek he started head.foremoss
toward the ground.
His friend could only stand and watch
his fearful descent, expecting to see his
brains dashed out on the earth below,
though the house was only single story
high. But here miracle happened; for
Just as the eaves-dropper Vas shooting over
the caves, his shoe caught on one Of the
supports of the guttering, and left HIM

Of freight moving over their lines did not

il should, and they felt - il they must do
something to obtain the freight The 81.
Louis roads were seemingly satisfied With
what they were getting. in proportion to
what the Chicago roadb got, and conse-

ness, and in order 10 do 10 they knew that
their rates must b lowered. Consequently
they acted on the thought and on Mon
