An Alleged Horse Thief.
AN UNKNOWN MAN FROM CHESTER
COUNTY, PA, ARRESTED THIS AORN-
ING ON SUSPICION. ft

AN UNKNOWN MAN FROM CHESTER
COUNTY, PA, ARRESTED THIS NORM
ING ON SUSPICION.
On last Sunday evening man came
to the Swami Hotel stables, on ShiPley
street near Fourth, and asked to have .
horse fed and taken care Of. he was In
an old sulky and was driving q fne
looking dappled-gray mare. There was
something about the mans manner
that aroused the suspicious Of Patrick
Dunn, the hOstler, and he determined 70
watch him closely. After the horse had
been stabbed and fed the man remarked
that she was fine animal and inquired
of Mr.. Dunn if he thought there was
any likelihood of him being able to sell
it. This increased the suspicious which
Mr.. Dunn had felt at first.
Yesterday morning the man left with
the horse and came back in the evening
remarking that he had the horse partly
sold. After that he saw Mr.. McClary Of
manufacturers on the Concord pike, and
told him that he had fine horse which
he would sell cheap.
Mr.. McClary subsequently came
around to the Swami Hotel stables and
finally made between the suspected man
and that gentleman, the understanding
being that $G5 should be paid for the,
mare if she would do a certain kind of
work. The man did not seem wholly
satisfied with this and spoke once of GO
ing on to Philadelphia. i1n7i.-
This morning at an early hour, Mr..
Dunn sent word to Sergeant Whelan
that there was a man whom he suspected
OF being horse thief at his stable and
for the Sergeant to come around and ar
rest him if dispatch was received from
near Oxford, Pa, about a gray mare.
Such dispatch was received shortly af-
terward which read as follows
| "PENNA STATION, PA.,-Chief Of P0-
Hce,-Look out for a man with . gray
mare and sulky. The man is 8 feet 10
inches in height, with brown hair, mus
tache and side whiskeTs shaved off. Man
weighs about HOO pounds; is sprained
ON the right hind leg and is little lame.
The snlkey is old the harness are good
main rings" This dispatch was signed
by Samuel Ely. Penn Station Is about
4 miles from Oxford.
| Sergeant Whelan little after 8 o'clock
shortly after the above dispatch had been
received went around to the stable to
arrest the man, but found that he had
gone to McClary & Guthrie's yard TO
have the horse tried. Before he reached
his destination he was arrested ana Is
now in the hall. 10 = :.
A telegram was sent to Mr.. Ely BY
Mayor Almond asking him to come and
identity the man, but up to noon no an.
swer had been received. The name al
the arrested man could not be learned.
