Caught a Horse Thief.

Frank Merritt, a twelve year old
Foreston boy, stole one of U. L. Green
ough's horses last week and attempted
to dispose of it. The theft was dis
covered shortly after it was perpe-
trated and party went in pursuit.
The youthful thief was overtaken and
captured near Foley, but gave consid-
cradle trouble before he surrendered.
He had tried to sell the horse for $40
and though $50 was offered refused to
take it. He was sent to the State
training school, where he will have
an opportunity to ponder over his crime
for few years.

banks, watching frogs on a green plot,
exploring an Indian mound, unearth-

like Simple Simon, for we had real
