Horse Thlef.

Some lively work 10 the horse. thiev-
ing line was performed on Friday last.
Since the frst Of April Jerry Hepler,
who lives rear Sci. Whitman's, in Tio-
nesta township, has had a young man
named Elmer Gill, about II years Of
age, employed on his farm. On the
morning Of the above date Jerry had
some business near Nebraska and went
there to attend to It, Reforming about
noon he asked his wife where Elmer
was and was sold that he had gone
out to do some work on the farm. Not
seeing the boy anywhere on the place
aud finding that one of bis horses and
single harness had disappeared Mr..
Hepler's suspicions became aroused
and be Immediately instituted q
search. He succeeded in tracking the
horse to this place, and at the toll
house Of the bridge learned that a boy
\ and horse answering the description
had passed over and gone in the d.
rectiGn of Hickory. In company with
constable Philip Emmet be boarded
the train for Trnnkeyville, but on
arriving there and learning nothing OF
their man. the two came back to West
Hickory where they again got the
trail. The boy had been there but an
honr or two previous and traded the
harness to VIM. Siggius for a saddle.
From there he was traced to Fagun-
das, where he had sold the horse aud
saddle to some man, taking his note
for the same He was 'nabbed" and
brought back to this place where he
had hearing before Squire Knox,
who bound him over to court, and he
is now confined in the bastile.
The boy, up to this time, had been
good worker. and had gained the
confidence of his employer. When
Mr.. Hepler asked what induced him
to act in this manner he said he did 'ni
know what put it into bis head. He
said he bad Intended negotiating the
Dote and skipping the country, but thai
it was probably the best thing that
could have happened him under the
circumstances. He hal the fore.
thought to take with him quantity
of chop to feed the horse which be had
done along the road somewhere. II
will doubtless prove good lesson tc
the young man. Hepler recovered all
his property.

A Hard Blow for a Poor Settler.

SAYS the st. Cloud Jounat: A few
days ago a Polander from Benton
County came into the United States
lar d office at this place to inquire why
his deed did not come from Washing
ton" lie said that several years ago he
had paid homesteader 500 in cash tor
his place, on which there was some
slight Improvements, receiving in return
a voluntary REIMBURSEMENT and war
ranty deed. An examination OF the
records showed that while the rclin.
enlistment had been sent to the general
land Office, for some reason the entry had
not been cancelled, and of course the war
ranty deed WASH worth the paper 1t was
written on. When the man was told
that he had no title whatever to the
land for which he had paid his hard
earnings-al the money he had in the
world-and on which he had bestowed
several years labor, and as he slowly
realized that the home which had cost
him so dearly was not his, the color left
his face, he staggered and fell backward
to the floor in faint. 1t was hard
blow to the poor fellow. He will prob
ably get his land, but l. will be alter
many delays and under the provisions
either of the pre- emption law, at addi-
tional expense, or the homestead law
with its five years continuous residence.
The scamp who took advantage of his
ignorance Of the aw-and the man is
of more than average intelligence-was
a mean wretch.

The Italians Becoming Shorter.


Interesting statistics have Just been
published, treating Of the stature of
the men and women of the different
Italian provinces. Concerning the
stature it states that among the young
men OF twenty years the Nenetians are
the tallest with an average of / metre
G53 N. Less taller are the Ligurians
and those of Fremont; they are even
shorter than the Sardlnians whose aver
age is ljS. A curious phenomenon is
observed, viz that the stature in Italy
is decreasing year by year. There must
be Il cause Tor this, but the statistics are
AZ yet unable to account for this fact.
The stature of women OF twenty is on an
average $50 in North Italy and one
centmetcr less in the Southern provinces.
As to the Roman population, it occupies
an exceptional place in these accounts,
men being not so tall as the Nenetians
but generally stronger and more hand
some. The women of Rome are the
talest, strongest and, with the Venetians,
| the handsomest of all Italy.
