Horse Stolen and Recovered.

On the night Of the 9TH instant some
one, without the fear Of the law before
his eyes, entered Mr.. Elias Days sta
bles, just above town, and bridled one
Of his horses and came directly through
Easlcy, taking the road to Liberty. Ar
irving in about tiree-qvmrters Of mile
OF Liberty he abandoned the horse,
as is supposed, on account of his slow
speed (althongh a good horse). and 60
ing to the station, was seen by a small
boy to sccretc himself between tn,
tender Of the engine anda box car and
steal his way OUT unmolested. Ow-
ing to the early hour, and the distance
the boy could not tell whether he was
white or colored.
Mr.. Day and II. A. Richey started in
pursuit as soon as convenient after
missing the animal, and tracked him
directly to the above-named place,
where they found him taken care of.
Nj. Richcy returned to Easley with
the horse, while Mr.. Day. went on to
The Easley messenger. (Easley, S.C.) 1883-1891, 1884-02-15

Central with the hope OF intcrccpting
the thief at thatpoint. On his arrival
there he was informed that man had
landed there that morning, answering
the description given Of the frce-ridcr
from Liberty, and that lie was the celc-
brated " Banjo picker and Clog dan
cer' of Grecnvillr, and his uamc was
Babe Donaldson, anu that he hal
gone to Sandy. Springs, near old Pen
dlcton. Mr.. Day, having located the
thief, rs h. thought, returned to Easley
on the 3.O7' p. M. train, procured Il
warrant for Babe" and In company
with Mr.. Ricl,ey, returned to Central
on the $50 p. IN. train, and arriving
safely, procurcda conveyance, and was
soon in the vicinity Of their game. AZ
ter little sAirmishing and surveying,
they approached the house, inquired
after the ''Babc,' and was informed
by his wife (for what reason they know
noD that he was not at home. They
insisted on seeing him, whercupon h,
stepped out with, 'Uerc am. gentle
men, whit will you have?" They in
formed him, and he very quietly sub
mitted, but of course declaring his in
nocence. They arrived here the next
morning, aud placed the "Babe''.- not
in the cradlc-but in the guard-housc.
watched it close, pumped him, and felt
sure they had enough proof to convict
him. But be it said for Mr.. Day, he
gave him every chance to establish his
innocence before sending him to Jail,
and after naming parties he was with
in Greenvillc on the night before,
until late hour, Mr.. Day proceeded
to that place and found his statements
true; but during his absence Elias Ell
lison appeared and testified that the
Babe" came over on the morning
train. he himself coming over on the
