Stolen Harness Recovered.

Deputy Sheriff SAWYER received a
message last Thursday saying that the
harness which were recently stolen
from n. c. Smith, a farmer living
near Clearwater, were found at COrbin
Wednesday night. Shaver at once
went down there and found them in
the wagon bed of farmer named Dan
Ryan, living III Oklahoma. Mr.. Ryan
is the father of the young man who
was brought up from Caldwell a day
or so age, charged with the theft.
The harness were really stolen by a
young man named Sam Collins, whom
the officers are looking for, and it is
probable that young Ryan will not be
prosecuted, as he seems to have been
an unwilling accomplish to the theft.
Mr.. Smith, the owner Of the harness,
was in town Thursday in consultation
with the officers.

wondered at There Is hardly textile

simple ribbon garnitures one of the most
