Friday morning he missed them.
Going to Attica he saw Neal and Fer
quin, who were on their way west i'm a
wagon, but on discovering him they
jumped on horses and left the town.
Mr.. French reached their wagon, which
they had left in charge of green driver
and found in the wagon the picket pins
ard ropes that were with the mules.
but the mules were not to be found.
The driver had been instructed to come
on to this place. He did not come, but
they did and ran into the arms of the
officer. Mr.. French took charge of the
couple and started back to Anthony
with them. 1t is supposed they did not

picket pins. Anyway, they will likely
learn lesson that will do them good.
