HORSE THIEVES NOW.
A Man Visits W. n. savsge's Place
but Is Disappointed.

An attempt at horse thieving was
neatly spoiled Tuesday night in East
salem. w. n. Savage's barn was de
eided upon by the would-be thief as q
splendid place TO secure q good horse
but he did not succeed in dsing 80. On
the night above mentioned Oliver, the
third son OF Mr.. Savage, the well
known milk man, had delivered the
milk about the city. Returning home
about $50 O'Clock, Oliver noticed 9
stranger come hastily out Of the barn
and run around TO the back Of the
building. Not knowing that the man
wss after 3 hOrse but supposing be was
stealing some horse feed, Of which there
was 8 large quantity ia the barn Oliver
jumped from the wagon before reach
ing the barn, and ran Into the house and
secured his Harrington & Richardson
81 CslibTe revolver. Returning to the
barn he Immediately began to search
20 fnd out If anything was missing.
II did not take him long to discover
that 4-year old bay gelding, the prop
erty Of his brother Charles, had been
taken from the barn. He then jumped
onto pony and rode rapidly down
Tweuty-fifth street until he reached
the Turner road. Hesitating a nome nj
h. heard some one coming through the
brush. Oliver spurred his horse up
and dashed away toward the thief and
wnen within about fifty yards of thu
man fired four shots from his revolver
at him. Dropping from the horse, the
thief ran rapidly through the brush
aud was soon lost to sight as the brush
In that neighborhood is very dense. Al
this point an older brother, Charles,
reached the scene Of the tussle, on
horseback, and with Oliver made a
thorough search through the brush but
discovered no one.
The boys then secured the horse and
returned with 1t to the barn. The
thief had taken halter with the horse
and had formed rough bride with
which to guide the animal while rid
ing,
Everyone should have his gun, re.
volver, or rifle handy and be ready
for night visitors and give them a
warm reception.
