There is likely to be some trouble in

however, claims the right to use it as
a common, and the end is not yet.

we expect may so far prove a success

A man giving the name of Fred
Walsh was in town last Monday en-
deavoring to dispose of a team. The
low price he asked for the team excit ted
suspicion, and he was closely ques-
toned by the officers, but he told such
Il plausible story as to his possession
of the property, and offered to accom-
pany an officer to the place where he
claimed to have procured it to verify
his assertion, that he succeeded in
securing an advance of $50 and then
immediately left town. Subsequent
developments however go to show
that the team was stolen, the owner
arriving in town last Tuesday evening
for the purpose of claiming it. A
rigid effort is being made to capture
the thief, with, we are afraid, poor
prospect of success.
