A SLICK HORSE IRIEF.
But Our Law Officers Were
On 20 His Game.
And He Is Now Lodged Be
hind Prison Bars.


One Of the sliekest horse thieves
that has ever piled bis nefarious
vocation in this and Lafourche
Parish was captured by deputy
sheriff Q, v. Ayeock last Saturday
night at Gus Ridley's saloon in
Houma.
The horse tibet is a negro and
gives his name as Edward Lewis,
and claims to hail from Morgan
City. He is a griHe, about forty or
forty-five years Of age, perhaps
younger, and has two scars on his
torehead-one on each side. which
he says was caused bya base ball,
but the nature of the sears does
not bear the thief out iii his claim.
Edward Lewis has been operat-
ing a scheme inthe parishes which
no doubt has proved a profitable
game to himself, and a losing one
to his customers. His plan was to
steal horses in one parish and sell
them in another, aud his roguery
would no doubt have proved very
profitable and successful bad not
Deputy Aycock, dropped on to his
racket and spoilt the well laid
plans oftIis willy %purloiner.
Seven horses, one buggy, three
saddles and a set Of harness were
captured by Deputy Ayeock, aud
some Of the horses have been lden
tilted by Lafourche people and
ami their stolen property turned
over to them. Lewis sold horses
to different parties in this parish,
and it is more than likely chat the
purchasers win never get back the
money paid for the horses.
It's thought that he has a con
federate who has assisted him in
all horse stealing enterprises.
