two miles from Rising SIM, near
Pennington, met with a serious
accident last Friday. While driv-
ing home from Rising Sun he and
his wife were thrown from the

Horse Stealing and Burglary.

Twelve horses have been stolen in
Hartford county since the 10th of last
October. The last heard of crossed over
Conowingo bridge on Monday morning.
Two of the parties were pursued so holly
that the thieves jumped from the vehicles
and taking to the woods made good their
escape. Harness and carriages were
always taken with the horses but not
always from the same premises. Several
stores and other business houses have
been broken into and robbed recently.
The stables from which the borses were
taken were locked but the thieves made
their way into them Notwithstanding.
One of the burglars was arrested in
Baltimore hawking cutlery without a
license and the goods he had stolen re
covered. He had in his possession a
pearl handled revolver and the keys of
the store door which the proprietor had
carelessly left in the door and which
goods he readily identified. The thiet
was taken to Belair where he was indicted
by the grand jury which was in session
The Hartford people are busy forming
Detective associations since having such
a run of thieves.
