HORSE THIEF CAPTURED.

William Willoughby, a smooth
faced, ruddy gentleman about q years
of age, was arrested in front of Pol
ster's drug store last Sunday evening
by constable Jones, assisted by Henry
Scott. Willoughby arrived in Baxter
Sunday afternoon riding fine racing
stallion which he carefully put away
and blanketed in al old barn used by
Lee Pigg. He then walked down
town aud soon the officers were watch :
ing his actions with suspicion. When
the evening mail arrived Marshal
Donaldson received a postal card Civ
ing an accurate description of the fel-
low aud horse and efforts looking to
his arrest were at once begun. He
was quite migratory, but little after
sund0wn Henry Scott got him en-
gagged in conversation IN regard to the
sale of the horse to him when Jones
came upon the scene and ordered
hands up. With two revolvers bear
ing OF him Willoughby could not re-
sist the command and he was dis
armed by Mr.. Scott and taken into
Polster's store. He claimed TO he trav.
cling south and said the officers had
no authority for taking a man that
way, but when the postal card was
read to him he weakened.
He stole the horse from j. w. Par
ker at Weir City Saturday evening
while the owner was engaged in a
game of cards at which he looked on
for soICe time just before departing
with the horse. He was turned over
Monday evening to Deputy Sheriff p.

Columbus for safe keeping. 1t was

got to be four years old she used TO
give 60 pounds of milk day when
she was fresh. Sometimes she gave
more, and that was fairly good milk,
and would test four pounds 10 the
hundred, so that she made nearly two
and one half pounds OF butter per
day. When I sold her she brought
$75. Now that is as good general
purpose COW as You can get. She
started out with good quantity Of
milk, but she didn't hold out with
this quantity of milk, but kept run
ming down, and IN seven months she
was practically dry. ] used to strip
her for u month longer. Well, by
occasionally weighing the milk and
testing il, figured that she produced
256 pounds of butter in a year. You
see that Is pretty good COW. That
is just the COW you are asking for, but
/ never made one cent Of profit on
her except when / look in the $75.
Her weight ran from 1900 to 1,700; :
when in good condition, toward 1,700'
lbs. She was two-cows-in-one size, and
tooG nearly the feed OF Two small cows,
90 you see when you come to take that
into consideration, il was small doings.
Now, I will compare her with an
other COW: had COW that weigh
ed just 800 pounds-half her size
and took just half the feed-perhaps q
little more. She had the dairy FORM.
and that COW produced 256 pounds,
as near as could figure, the same as
the big cow. The big COW took $25'
worth of feed more than the little
COW, so / made $25 profit a year on,
the little COW and MIXED her twelve
years aud sold her for SIS, though /
got 1915 from her, and all ] ever got
from the other was SIS. Tho little
COW was worth $240 more 10 me than
the big COW. you see i want to give
the general purpose COW all the advan-
tage can. have an S00-pound cow
that makes $50 pounds more than this
one. She will make 375 pounds at
least, in year. That COW with the
same way of figuring, would make me
$500 more than I would make out of
the big COW.
