Horse Thieving.

Two men, giving the names of E. Mitch
ell and Stanley Knipe, were arrested at
Sacred Heart last week for horse stealing.
They had put up their horses in a barn
there, and in some way attracted suspi-
cion. o. S. Reishus telegraphed to Wat
ertown, d. T., and found out that the
pair did not own any horses. but that two
had been stolen at Volga. The thieves
got wind of these proceedings and went
to the stable for their horses, breaking
open the fastenings for lack of a key.
On coming out they were met by party
of citizens who proceeded to arrest them,
which they did not succeed in doing un-
til one of them was chased about three
miles. For lack of evidence to proceed
against the two for the original theft,
they were arrested for unlawtully break
ing into an outbuilding in the day time
and taking therefrom horses, found guilty,
and sent to Beaver Falls Jail to await
trial at the next term of court.
Geo. Guth, living in the town of Cot
tonwood. near New Ulm. had two valua-
BILE horses stolen last week. The thieves
made good their escape.

Crooked Croker.

In noticing the disposal of Crocker's
store in our last number, the fact that a
considerable number of his friends here
were deeply interested in his future move
ments was not touched upon, because not
known. Itwould appear that Mr. Crock
had acted upon DIR. Franklins theory
that the way to make friend was to get
him to do you kindness, and had man.
aged to get into debt several hundred
dollars, in small sums, beside the un-
known quantity of his debts to wholesale
dealers. The manner of his departure
was such that the most charitable light
which can be thrown upon it convicts
him not only of criminal meanncss, but
of an almost fatal blunder at the begin
ming of his business career, from the ef-
fects of which he can only save himself
by trying to repay those whom he has
apparently swindled. Prompt repentance
on his part may save him from hopeless
disgrace. but we are given to understand
that otherwise the odium cf his opera
tions will be made known wherever he
shall go. He was last heard of at Roch-
ester.

An unusual sensation, and one which,
it is hoped. will not occur again, trans
pircd on our streets Saturday evening.
Pat Williams, of Birch Cooley, makes a
practice of getting beastly drunk every
time he comes to town, and when in that
condition uses the foulest cpithcts imag-
Unable, whether in saloon, street, or store,
and wants to fight everybody, and on this
occasion he got more than he bargained
for. His plan is to get into the middle of
the street, with hat and coat off, use the
vilest language tongue can express toward
everybody, and dare some one to box or
fight with him. After the opening chorus
a large crowd assembled and gave a regu-
lar matinee. About ten or twelve dozen
eggs were procured, though they were not
ancient, and he got the benefit of most of
them. One of the boys would step up
with his hands full of eggs to engage him
in boxing, then let them fly in his face;
another would salt him from behind, and
US he turned he would he peppered from
another direction, till finally he was COW
cred with broken hen fruit. After this
numerous pals of water were dashed over
him, and it is said he presented a pitiable
sight, but he was most effectually cooled
of, and he appeared moody and sullen.
His horse was put up. and he did not 60
home till next morning. 1t was scrape
in which the many who joined would
have gladly avoided, but it was deemed
best to give Pat a wholesome lesson, and
one that he would not forget. He said
afterwards that it served him right, and
it is hoped he will conduct himself more
peacably hereafter, or he may fare worse

Arrested for Riramy.

An alleged case of excessive matrimony
came to light here this week. NJ. 8. Hor-
| ton, who has been employed as a builder
hercabouts for several months, is wanted
at Spring Valley by the original and only
genuine Mrs NJ s. H. Horton left on this
mornings train in charge of Marshal
Whitemore, who expected to leave his
charge at Sleepy Eye in the hands of an
officer from Spring Valley. The acquain-
tances of Horton with whom we have
talked say that he is a skillful workman
either as carpenter, bricklayer, mason or
painter, and not vicious in all respects,
but apparently weak and Unbalanced in
his relations to women. Besides the first
Mrs. Horton, in whose defence this nc
ton was brought, it is claimed that there
are two other wives of his living in Min
nesota, without waiting for the returns
from other States. The accused has been
watched for some time by one of our
citizens, who suspected his intentions in
certain quarter, and it is through his
inquiries and correspondence that the
arrest was made.
In his own defence Horton says that he
was intending to return to Spring Valley
Monday morning. had not his arrest pre-
vented. He was not communicative as
to the grounds of the complaint. but we
understand that he docs not expressly
deny his guilt.
Horton claimed at one time to have
been a regularly ordained minister, and
preached once at New Avon. On exam
ination his authority to act rs minister
was found to be crooked, and he was re-
fused admission into one of the churches
here for that reason.

streets were oppressively lonesome, the
harvest absorbing not only the farmers
and their teams, but every available man
or team in the village that could be in

gloom was lightened up on Sunday, when
large number of country teams made
their appearance on the streets. Our
churches were not at all crowded, how
ever.
