"Unclc' Billy Boyd, eight miles
north of town, III Audrain county,
is the owner of an 500 acre past
ure of mostly prairie land. In
having occasion to cross this past
urc recently, IL ncighbor Of Mr..
Boyd, Mr.. Brose Culwell, discov-
cred Il brand new road cart at il
low point in the enclosure. The
vehicle had evidently been there
for several days, as the tires had
begun to rust and the grass to
turn white under the wheels. He
reported the matter to Mr.. Boyd
and as the latter knew nothing of
it, they concluded to investigate
further. AS ii result, they found
Il set Of single harness and large
gray horse about eight years old,
all in the pasture. Mr., Culwell
took charge of the property and
at once reported the matter to
constable Middleton, who lives
but a few miles away. The con
stable asked if the horse had a
wart on the side Of his neck, and
being informed that it did, said
that he had IA card in his pocket
describing that identical outfit,
and that it had been stolen from a
man near Mexico. Mr.. Middle
ton took charge of the property,
and the owner has recoverd it long
before this. There is no clue as
to the thief, but he was evidently
neryy, as Mr.. Boyd is an active
member of the Anti-llorse-Thiei
Association.

than the means; for one Of Barbara's
ambitions now was to travel.
