The Chief of Police of Richmond, Ind,
brought a house-breaker here on Mon
day evening and put him under the
charge of the Sheriff. He gives his name
as Nathan Freeman, and broke into the
residence of ]. D. Mills, near New Paris,
from which he purloined considerable
silverware. He is a "bad egg"
While j. H. Alderman and wife were
returning from the funeral of u. Miller,
on Sunday last, and passing through the
Twin creek bridge east of West Alexan-
dria, their horse frightened and jumped
over the north side embankment, going
down buggy and occupants, a distance
of about twelve feet. Strange to say
their injuries were slight, which were at
tended to promptly by DR.. w. H. Riley,
Of West Alexandria.
On the night Of the 10th Of December,
1880, John A. Kaylor, now OF Galesburg,
Kansas, then living about three. miles
north of Eaton, had a marc stolen from
his pasture field, and although .diligent
efforts were made through the Preble
county organized horse company to re-
cover her, no trace of the animal could
be scented. While here on a visit last
week, through Dave Newman, of Green
vile, Ohio, he learned that his stolen
beast was in the possession of William
Furnice, at Marion, Ohio, who, after sat
isfactory evidence and the payment of
500 delivered her over to Mr.. Kaylor.
The mare was stolen by B. F. Lands, OF
West Baltimore, who III her to Marion
and sold her to Mr.. Furnice. Lands is
