his capture, and the sheriff sent word to Deca-
tur authorizing constables Sweet and Botsford
to arrest him at his fathers residence, which

John N. Hawley, of Brookfeld, writes to
the Bridgeport Standard concerning the
death Of three of his horses as follows: 81
would say that the first horse was found
down in the stable in the morning Gould
discover nothing wrong only the pulse was
very slow. It died at 1 o'clock the same day.
The second horse was taken Tuesday with
running at the mouth. Wednesday it was
very much troubled to swallow, but did not
breath: badly died Thursday morning. The
third horse was taken the next Saturday with
running at the mouth and slight cough; was
very much troubled to swallow and breathed
short. I sent to New Haven Monday for d
veterinary surgeon. He pronounced it an
uncommon case of bronchitis and lung fever,
which was undoubtedly correct. The horse
died Tuesday. The doctors did not agree in
regard to the other horses (Which is no un-
common oceurrence), but the Second horse
had bronchitis and lung fever if the third one
did, and we suppose the first one had heart
disease, but neither horse had any contagious
disease. Had post mortem examinations of
