On Friday afternoon last Constable
Maloney, of Millerstown, brought Frank
Reiber to Butler, and he was committed to
Jail, charged with stealing two horses from
Esq. Easley. of Buffalo Twp. The horses
were stolen some days ago, and Mr.. Easley
and The constable traced them across Arm
strong county tu Jefferson county and in
tercepted Frank, with one of the horses in
his possession, at the village Of Troy, in
Il at county He had disposed of the other
horse at New Bethlehem, but it was also
recovered. 1t will be remembered that
there are several other cases of horse steal
ing on our dOckets against Frank, and that
he and two Others escaped from Jail last
November, by prying open the iron door
leading to the attic, and then cutting
through the roof. The Board of Com
missioners, at that time, offered a reward
of 5000 for Franks recapture, and Con-
stable Maloney is now claiming it. Frank
left the State after his escape, but came
back, and has lately been working about
the distillery at Freeport, where his not
being recognized was mere matter of
luck. He is a young, well-built fellow, of
good features and open countenance, and
does not look like thief, but there seems
to he no doubt of it, and the State will
probably take charge Of him for the next
few years.
