saw the hitch strap
hanging out and asked how it hap
pened he had a harness and was
afoot. The fellow said he owed
doctor bill and it took the horse
and buggy to settle it leaving him
the harness only. To the doctors
this ID q more than unlikely story.
And, BY the way, if that fellow
had not been captured and convict
ed, our friend of the forceps would
always have had q lingering notion
that Joe knight, city marshal, had
something to do with the disap-
pearance, because he guessed with
in fifty feet Of where the buggy
could be found d-and they went
out mile and half and found it
that night. The doctor probably
don't know that Joe can 60 out

been stolen or driven out Of the
country, with hardly ever a fail

with him say it is tact, and nef-

does it. Small chance thief has
to get away from such an officer as
that.

brought out. One very intelligent
old lady almost gave US the abig-

one Of the big stores said he al
ways looked for the little local
items of one, or two, or three

too busy to be very sociable to any
one but customers, said that he
generally read the advertisements,
