The bad practice of taking possession of
horses left standing on our streets and riding
them away, by unknown parties, seems to
be quite prevalent. In addition to the one
noticed by us last week, a horse in posses
sion of Mr. n r. Robinson was taken from
in front OF the Store of III. A. Dawson, on
Saturday night last, ridden some miles in
the direction of the Great Falls and then
turned loose. This is rather a dangerous
business to those engaged in it, and if caught
in the act might lead to the penitentiary.
