A HORSE THIEF CAUGHT.

Simeon Cross Arrostsd Frlday-SherIfl
Reeve. aud Deputy Wheeler Raid saloons
Simeon Cross, alias Tommy johnson, alias
Henry Tracy, was arrested Friday while
driving rair OF mules ON the Shedd farm
in South Burlington where he was employ
ed. The warrant alleges that he stole a
colt from G.. Smith OF Shelburne on Novsm-
Der 9. AT first he told the officer stories in
an effort to prove his innocence, but last
evening he admitted his guilt and said that
be would waive examination and take his
sentence at tho earliest possible opportunity.
He traded tho colt with one Robillard of
this city for another horse which he ex.
changed for a watch and then sold tho watch.
Mr. Smiths horse will be returned to him
and Robillard will probably be this loser, as
the orse which Hobillard handed over in
exchange for the colt has disappeared from
view. Cross came from Colorado to North
Troy, so he says, when 10 years OF age,
thence, In the course of few years, to
Jacksonville, Z. O., and from there drifted
to Shelburne Farms. He is man of fair
address and appearance.
The premises of Mrs. Kate Gilluley on
Cherry street, were searched by Sheriff
Reeves, and In a nice little hiding place he
found barrel Of beer and bottle Of whis-
key.
The sheriff also dropped In at McCarty
Eros Billiard parlors and going behind
the bar before his presence was known by
the proprietors, seized six bottles Of liquor
without difficulty.
Deputy Sheriff Wheeler and Officer Bru-
nell, raidod the Hotel Chittonden Friday
morning and got two cases Of lager bser aud
four bottles of whisbey, which they forth
with placed in the care Of Sheriff Reeves.
Joseph Arcand, who pleaded guilty to or
son few days since, was sentenced by
Judge Peck Saturday TO serve two years in
the Stlte's prison at Windsor, as also was
Simeon Cross, alias Tommy Johnson, alias
Henry Tracy, the horse thief, who waived
examination and pleaded guilty. They were
teken to Windsor Monday by Officer Nc
keuzia.
George l>'etel, the German, was sentenced
to serve IS months IN the House Of Corroc-
ton and pay 81 and costs. lie was con-
vctod of committing perjury in liquor
