The horse was lame and the next morn
ing he represented to the proprietfE of
the Felton, House that he was going to
see about shipping the team. Instead of
doing this he boarded a south bound
train and left town. The team proved to
be the property of Wilmington livery
mau, who recovered it on Thursday. The
thief hired the team for two hours
drive. He would probably not have stop
ped here had the horse not become lame.
The owner refunded Mr.. Taylor the
money be paid for the harness and paid
the board bill of the horse. The only
loser by the thief was Mrs. Lemon, from
whom he borrowed an mbrelIa which he
failed to return. Mrs. Lemon states that
the man had stopped at her house before.
