ton OF benedict. But Ned is hard case
and II his young Spouse attempts to fol-
low his sinuous course in life she will
surely 20 to the penitentiary, for that is
the port toward which her charscterless
husband is certainly making at q swift
pace.
Jackson and wife left Ortine early las.
week for Ellensburgh. Arriving there,
the venturesone benedict applied ut Pal
mer & Ponds livery stable for the best
double rig they had. as he desired to take
u horse out to country ranch and then,
being newly married. to ride about the
valley to convince his wife that eastern
Washington is great country. The vile
expresses her conviction OF that fact now
in an emphatic phrase.
Young Jackson Immediately struck the
big road for Oregon. He drove seventy
miles the first day, arriving at Toppenish.
The team and rig were valued at 500 and
he knew he would be holly pursued; 50
next day he drove to Kennewick, another
seventy miles, and there, seeing that he
could not cross the river, sold the rig for
SO to Martin Anderson. The pair crossed
the railroad bridge on foot into Pasco,
where they put up for the night.
The sheriff at Ellensburgh, however,
had preceded the horse-thief at Pasco
with telegram describing him and the
rig and requesting Sheriff Coleman to ar.
rest him. A note from the operator at
kennewick intiniated to the sheriff that
the stolen team was at that point insthe
possession Of another man. Alexander.
who thought he had made snap buy Of
the outfit, on learning OF the sherifI's
quest, Immediately went to Pasco and got
his money back. The team was recovered
by Palmer & Pond.
Meantime Sheriff Coleman had the
young culprit in tow at Pasco, giving him
aud his wife their choice OF going to Jail
for the night or to bed in the hotel after
delivering their wearing apparel to the
sheriff. This was done In order to pre-.
vent their escape during the night. About
midnight, however. conversation was
overheard in which scheme to enable
the pair to yet way was disclosed and
they we're taken to Jail.
Deputy Sheriff Banks, Of Ellensburgh,
went to Pasco and took jackson and wife
to that place, where the former now
languishes.
The third horse which Jackson had
with him was little cream.colored pony
belonging to Elder D. w. Leath, of Or.
ting. Its mate. also cream-colored pony
and the property OF Elder Leatb, was
stolen from Orting at the same time By
the same gang. Elder Leath left Yaki.
ma yesterday for Kennewick, where he
expects to recover The first one and from
which point he will for q time keep an
outlook for the other.
Archie Mckay, an arch scoundrel well
known east Of the mountains, with the
all OF one or two accompliees, recently
took band OF stolen horses from this
side to the Sound country, where they
either sold or traded the herd. At Ortiny,
1t Is alleged, they, with the addition Of
young Jackson to the gang, stole Elder
Leath's two pouies and large, fine horse
from Mr.. Colgrove. Mckay and party,
after obtaining quite herd over there,
Immediately set out for this side, making
the distance from Alderton over the
mountains in thirty-two hours. It is
supposed that the party with this band
is making its way for the Oregon Short
Line. Parties are In pursuit.
The case against Ned Jackson will
probably result in sending him to the
penitentiary where he belongs. His
young wife will probably 90 back to
mother"
The horse-stealing industry, by the
way, seems to be d urishi * in the graz
ing regions east OF the Cascades. Even
in the vicinity Of this peaceful metropolis
no less than six horses were reported as
stolen during the past ten days. There
is reasonable doubt, how ever, that such
is the case, for the report cannot be veri-
fed in either instance. Two OF the mis-
sing animals have been found. They
had simply broken away and strayed of.
-Four others. though. are yet lost and
there seems 10 be a pretty we'll defined
fear that they are In the possession OF the
gang OF thieves operating so extensively
in neighbours counties. The fact that
saddles have been stolen in this neighbor-
hood lends some color to the suspicion.
1t is also rumored that cache Of sad
dles has been discovered 10 the noun
tsins only few miles distant from vaki-
ma, but the man who made the discovery
or the other fellow who heard him tell
about it cannot be located.
However, the country is full Of men
who look like they would steal horses, or
saddles. or anything else, and it would
be an excellent idea for owners OF stock
10 organize and establish patrol during
these active times among thieves OF all
rlasses.
