A HORSE THIEF

Captured at EelIaire Yesterday as He Was
About Starting for the west-News Notes
Of All Kinds.
Yeste. day morning John Early was ar
rested for horse stealing. The circum-
stances are about as follows: A few days
ago John Early left the home If Abner
Lodge, OF Louisville, wheIe he had been
working as a farm hand. About the same
time one of Mr.. Lodges best horses also
departed By some unknown path and was
not heard from. Later Early returned to
the home Of his former employer, and was
there accused Of stealing the missing ant
NAL. The accused managed to lie out OF
it, and they let him 20. A watch was kept
on him, however, and when he came TO this
city i, was noticed that he purchased a
ticket for Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and intended
TO 90 West at once. Thinking Early was
getty OF the THEFT, the purSrr had him ar
rested at the e. d O. depot. When brought
before the Mayor Early phad guilty to
the charge of horse stealing. 1t appears
that he had stolen the horse and taken it to
Sistersyille where he disposed of it, He
was bound over 10 couSt in the sum OF
$1,000. Being unable to furnish bond he
was taken to st. ClairSYille At once, where
the Grand Jury is in session. If he pleads
guilty he will at once ne given a position in
the Columbus p~ep;.tentiary AID his Western
trip vii! be ~Po'tpoued for iolr or five years
FOR SALT RIVER.
The question now botheriig the average
Republican at present is, what is the best
! sections up Salt river, aud how can | get
excursion rates. In regard o the best part
of the country up there we might say that
Done OF it is very good. TWentv-four years
of constant drain by the Democrats is liable
to make the highest yielding country the
worst place of Ubode imaginable. All those
long years they were obliged to subsist as
best they could, way up in that barren coun,
try without one a nickle for spending money
1t was different thereirom what it is now
Money was not so plentiful, and the officers
instead of being small banking firms Of
themselves were as poor IS the rest Of the
populace. The party ought 10 be able 20
stand it four years anyhow, md if the new
party is not worthy of the trlSt reposed In
! Them. give it a second thrustup the river.
The n o makes it good sleghing and bet
ter time can be made by th~eprepa-..r ;rti
yiduals this way than by w%sr Seyera
parties have organized and gnc in wagons
The last lo&.I left last nlSlt about five
o'clock. fl wsS plain to be seen that the
wagon! was bound for some brsaken region
, py the looks Of things. A wash boiler
skillet, tool chest, dish pan, coal bucket
and the Amcricon flag wer some Of the
goods thew took with them. The crew was
somewhat mixed, there beinI a division OF
the races. A cOlored man. .cted rs pilot
and held the reins. There vas something
the boys forgot and il is funny
we remembered it, but we did

sustained by the once old, but np The new
