Abandoned Wretch Steals Horse From
Preacher,

ga horse, my kingdom for horse, !"
exclaimed the Rev. Samuel Dean in
tragic tone as he opened the stable
door at his Lee street home yesterday
morning and discoYered that some con-
scienceless and wholly abandoned
burglarious wretch had entered there
and swiped his noble winged Pegasus
when the night grew old. This but
confirms the opinion of the Times
Recorder that the Phillistines are upon
us, and either fight or flight is next
on the program. The attempted burg
larry at the home of Chief of Police
Wheeler was calculated to make think
ing citizens pause and wonder whittier
are we drifting, but now that the min
istry is attacked there must be call to
arms by the side of which the Pekin
scrap will be a back number. The
police are working on the case, but as
this does not insure the recovery of
the stolen horse Rev. Mr.. Dean walks
and wonders at the depravlty of the I'M

went in boat far down the creek to
set nets. Finishing this task about
dusk he started for the bridge again

lost. Rattlesnakes aud moccasins,
boot owls and mosquitoes were on
every hand and kept his blood circu-
lating freely during the hour he beat
the bushes in an effort to find his way
to camp. His halIos finally awoke a
negro living in cabin near the

lamp the rescue was effected. Mr..
Raiford was badly cut up by briars
and snags, and has sworn off from the
