Monday afternoon, a white man from
Prices Landing, Mo-, calling himself APP
plegate, came to the city and made in-
quires about the man Thomas who was ar
rested by Constable Hogan Saturday upon
suspicion of having stolen a horse and
mule which he had attempted to sell at
Mr.. Lee Boicourt's stock yards Apologize
claimed to have met Thomas at Prices
Landing on Saturday. Thomas had horse
and n mule which he claimed to have
brought from Arkansas and which he Of
fered to either sell or trade. Applegate
traded him another horse for the horse
Thomas had and the latter left, saying that
he was enroute for Cape Grradeau. But
instead OF going to that town Thomas
came here and got himself into trouble as
before stated. Applegate, having learned
that Thomas was under arrest here, came
for the purpose of Grading back" lest the
horse he received in the trade prove to be
stolen and be claimed by the owner But
the horse and mule in Thomas posses
sion had been sold to his attorneys as q fee
for defending him, and no settlement could
be arrived at, Apologize consequently
made the rounds of the city in a gloomy
state Of mind, got drunk, laid in the streets,
and was picked up by Constable Hogan,
and confined in the same cell with Thomas.
Applegate's conversation with Thomas at
torney gave some ground for suspicion that
he is simply pal" Of Thomas. Thomas
will be held as long as possible and in the
meantime every effort will be made to dis.
cover the owner of the ANIMALS he brought
here
