bridge has been almost rebuilt no stoppage

the tract elsewhere. Most of the work has
been done in afternoons aud Sundays when
large force is put on. 1t is delicate piece
of work but has been admirably managed

ride borrowed a horse and buggy belonging
to Mr.. Henry Briiey last Wednesday even
ing, and after driving a considerable dis
lance, as was proven by the appearance of
the horse, sometime in the night turned it
loose. Early Thursday morning the ami
NAL wandered to the Howard House stable
yard, and was taken charge of by one of the
attendants. Mr.. Briley drove into town in
the evening and hitched his horse to the
rail in front Of Browns grocery store, on
North street, aud when ready to go home
between ten and eleven o'clock his team
was missing. The hitching strap had been
cut, and part Of it was still upon the rail-

probably taken by some fellow who wanted
to go over the line to get his jug filled. He
might at least have had the decency to
hitch the horse instead ofturning him loose
