YonthfnI Horse ThieYes.

On the night of the 10th of October
there disappeared from the farm of
Frank Cummings. in Wabaunsee county,
two horses, one bay and the other
sorrel, and as two saddles and brides
were missed at the same time, the owner
promptly arrived at the conclusion that
his horses had been stolen, and issued
posters in which the animals were ac-
curately described, and reward of
$50 was offered for the apprehension
of the thieves. One of these fell into
the hands Of ex-marshal Fleming, of
this city, and when, Thursday morning,
lad aged about sixteen years, road up
to his stable on sorrel horse and asked
to put him up and feed him, MT Elem
ing quickly discovdred that the animal
answered to the description of one of
those described IN the poster, and upon
questioning the boy soon became
convinced that he had struck
one of the thieves. When asked where
he came from the boy said that he lived
six miles in the country. As Mr.. Elem
ing knew this was false, and as he had
satisfied himself by close inspection OF
the horse thai his suspicious were well
founded, he arrested the young man and
asked him where his partner was. The
youth told him he was at a black.
smith shop down town and pro-
ceeding 10 the place the other
lad was also corraled and both of the
boys were taken to Jail, where they are al
this writing. 1t was gathered from them
that the bay horse vas sold at Topeka
that their names are Oliver Wells and
John Plummer, and that they are aged
16 and II years respectively. They will
be kept in custody till the authorities oil
Wabaunsee county cansend or come for
them. This is the second haul of this
kind that Mr.. Fleming has made this
| season, and if horse thieves know when
they are well off they will give him a
wide berth.

A young Englishman who registered
at the Neosho House as c. Devere, AMI
who claims TO be scion of nobility and
q nephew of Lord Mansfield, arrived in
our city last week in search, as he said,
of his lost love.
ale was clad in checkered trousers,
Aud his coat was OF sort
To suggest scanty pattern,
IL was bobbed so very Short
Upon isarriyal at the Neosho House,
"me lord" asked the proprietor if there
there by the name of Ella Hysinger.
Being informed there was, he requested
to see her, and upon Miss Hyslnger an
sweriDg the summons, the love-smitten
Briusher sprang forward, caught the
young girl in his arms and frantically
kissed her. Releasing herself from his
embrace, the girl sought the protection
of Mr.. Ruch's family, declaring that she
wished to have nothing to do with the
man, and stating that she had left her
place in Emporia TO getrld of his i'm
portunities. Her story is that she be-
came acquainted with Devere at hotel
in Emporia where she was working in
the capacity of 6ining-room girl; that
after brief acquaintance he professed
for her the most ardent attachment and
wished her to become his wife; that his
attentions were hateful to her, and that
10 escape his prosecutions she had left
her situation IN EmpoFia and had come
on here, where she had no idea he would
follow her. The infatuated nephew of
Lord Mansfield declared that she had
promised to marry him, and that after
giving him that promise she had sud-
denly left Emporia without giving him
any warning, and that for more than q
month he had been travelling from town
to town in search of her, vainly signing
SPAIN would this lovely vision
In my longing arms enclose,
But, alas, cannot clasp her.
And my heart finds no reposeP
Finally, learning that she was here, he
had at once come on with the intention
of marrying her, and hoped that all
would yet be made right between them
To prove his sincerity he procured mar
| rage license from Judge Kingsbury on
Saturday morning last, which he took TO
| the girl and again attempted to change
her determination. Being again re-
| fused by his black eyed enslaver he be-
came wild with excitement and threat
eIfed TO kill both her and himself unless
| she consented to become his wife. Fill
| ing himself up with cheap whisky, the
young scion of English nobility became
quite demonstrative, waltZing around on
| both ears, and was at last taken in charge
| by Marshal Chess. Promising to cease
| his persecution of Miss Hysinger and to
leave town if he was released from Gus
| tody, the marshal let the victim of unre-
| quilted love go. He left town the same
day. 1t is supposed that much love has
| made him mad. Miss Hysinger, who
has relatives living near Hartford, is
spoken of by those who know her as a
very worthy estimable young woman.
