THE CHAMPION HORSE THIEF.

The only prisoner in Jail here is
Peter Zimmerman, Of Fayette coun-
ty, Pa, who stole fine horse from
Indy Ii. Frankhouser, of Bran
donville, this county, on Sunday
night, November 6, 1892. After a
long, hard chase, Mr.. Fran k houser
ran his man down and had him ar.
rested and taken to Jail at Union
town, where he was wanted on
similar charge, and they took a
turn at him over there before they
would let our officers have HIM. He
was tried, found guilty and sent to
the Penitentiary for two years. His
time was up August oath last, and
x-Shcriff ID. r. Jackson and broth.
or, Grove Jackson, of this place,
went over after him, as he had been
indicted here for horse stealing and
all the arrangements made ready
for him some time ago, 80 that when
his time was up at the Western PEN
itcntiary at Allegheny, he was
brought right on here for trial /.
Monday he was brought into Court
and confessed guilty aud asked the
clemenCy of the Judge, as he is now
over seventy years old and did not
want to die in prison, and has al
ready spent forty years of his life
in prison for horse stealing. Judge
Hoke gave hun light sentence
under the circumstances two years
at Moundsyille. The old fellow has
mania for horse stealing and says
he can't help it, and that he has
stolen about thousand altogether
during his lifetime. He came near
getting lynchgd for it once out
West. They had the rope around
his neck and was about to string
him mp, when some one interfered
for him and saved his neck. He
has the air of habitual criminal
and convict, and the regular lock
step Of the prison from long con-
fnement. Frankhouser had failed
to get his horse back till after the
