A saddle was stolen from John Under
woods stable night before last and also
one from the stable of Charles Coffee.
The Underwood saddle was found yester-
day at a second hand store on Seventeenth
street where it had been brought and
pawned by three men who were evidently
tramps. One of the men has been found
and arrested-he having in his possession
a wolf robe which he has no doubt stolen.
He was too drunk to give his name when
he was arrested by City Marshal Schnit-
ger, but he is evidently a bad character
and no doubt had something to do with
the theft of the Coffee saddle.
