A Bold Horse Thief Captured.

Some time Saturday night a valu-
able mare-the property of Sylves-
ter Venard-was taken from town.
The thief was colored man who
had for some months been in the
employ of Mr.. Baldwin of Baca
county. The man, who gave his
name as John Lyons, was paid off by
Mr.. Baldwin on Saturday, and stated
that he was going east on the train.
de changed his mind, and instead
took the horse and started south. He
went to the ranch of his former en-
ployer, Baldwin, and there took an
other animal, young stallion. He
ioes not seem to have been then sat
lsfied, but took third horse. His
conscience may have troubled him
or, what is more likely, he found he
could not handle them all-so he
left the third fastened to fence near
where 1t was owned. He held to
he other two and started southeast
Mr. Venard went in pursuit of the
.hief on Sunday morning and tracked
aim to the Baldwin ranch. From
there the trail bore to the southeast,
and was followed closely and very
successfully, as the thief was over
hauled. A dispatch was received by
Sheriff Tate Thursday evening from
Mr.. Venard, dated at West Plains,
Kas., stating that he had the thief
and requesting him to come for him.
Mr.. Tate left the same evening. The
horses, we understand, were both re-
covered

An important Discovery by the La
mar Fishing Club.

The President and Secretary of
l.. +. q. report very singular and
important discovery made few days
since. They, in company with sew
erai lay members of the organization,
We're cruising on the King reservoir
in their new boat Zephyr. While
thus engaged they say they picked
up bottle tightly corked, and bear
ing evidence of having been in the
water for months. They admit that
they were all greatly disappointed
upon removing the stopper to find
nothing in it except roll of paper.
The paper however upon examination
proved to be a message from the lost
White Line steamer Naronic 1t was
dated in February and states tha,
the great steamer collided with an
iceberg and went to the bottom in
20 minutes, the message coming
from handful of unfortunates who
left the vessel in boat
The secretary explains its being
found out there in this way. He say
the bottle drifted into the gulf OF
Mexico, and was swallowed at the
mouth of the Mississippi river by a
big cat fish. The fish following its
instincts went to the head waters to
spawn, and after getting as far as
La Junta, got into the King reservoir.
The fish finding that it could not
digest the article, spewed it out, and
it fioated about until picked up. The
members have no donbt of the genu-
mess af the find, and exhibit the bot
tie and cork as an evidence of good
faith. Some scoffers, Jealous because
they could not gain admission to the
club, affect to believe that the bottle
came from town, even going so far as
to say that it bears the private mari
