An e,opement very much on the dime
novel order has been reported TO the Seat
tie police in connection with an alleged
case Of horse stealing. In the eyes or the
officers OF the law IL is a case OF larceny,
pure and simple. The fact that two young
people have taken French leave OF par
ents and guardians in this city and are
journeying away together to parts UNI
known IL overshadowed in their estimation
by the fact that there Is every indication
that the horses they hired in this city have
been stolen.

from Seattle in a fashion entirely uncon-

| Teater says that both of the horses were
saddled with mems saddles at the request
| OF young Enos and that Miss Barrow wore
| male attire. He believes that they headed
