The Sheriff OF Hartford County searched
TIE house OF Joseph Brown, who was sem
fenced on Thursday, last week. at TowsoL to
nearly five years in the Penitcutiary, with
startling results. The house is located at
Fork, about seven miles below Belar, and in
were found great lot OF household goods.
Among other articles found were wagon and
carriage covers in great numbers and all
now; several sets OF buggy harness, new
saddles, Grcnches, fine rugs that had been
stolen from parlots, two large dehorning
machines, boxes of triple plate knives and
forks, school fixtures, and Il great quantity of
horse blankets.
1t seems he did not operate near his home,
but at distance. The sheriff filed several
wagons with stolen goods and took them to
Towson. where he will advertise for those
who have lost things to come forward.
The people OF Fork are amazed that all
this had been going on in their place. The
people here are delighted that Brown has
been caught, for he has been at work around
here. When he was arrested he had two
horse wagon load of harness. collars, BRIDES
blankets and saddles. Brown has wife and
three little girls. He was formerly of Penn
sylvania.
