THE STOLEN HORSE The stolen
horse reported in this paper last week
has been found. 1t seems that Julien
Burnor of Craftsbury and Cambridge
Junction, and "Grand Union Tea"
man, while travelling one day between
Hyde Park and Johnson, met a man
with team leading a horse. He was
stranger to Burnor but accosted
him and talked trade. So interested
did Burnor become that he finally
traded horses, giving So to boot.
The man said his name was Davis,
and he took money and Burnor horse
and has not since been seen. Burnor
came to this village aud offered to
sell the horse to two or three parties
and finally disposed of it to f. G.
Currier for $S5. Currier kept the
horse few days and then took her
off down Swanton way where he
traded for another horse. Burnor
was arrested for selling a stolen horse
mot for stealing as we stated last
week and the hearing came off before
Justice Wiswel last Thursday.
States Attorney Cheney appeared
for the State and r. W. hulburd for
BuTnor. Several witnesses we're ex-
amined, among them the Luce broth
ers, owners of the horse, who stated
that one Badger, sometimes called
Davis, of unsavory reputation, had
been seen about the place at the time
the horse disappeared. Another wit
ness, Smalley of Stowe, stated he
knew the mare and identified her
when in Curriers' stable. The defense
set up the plea OF innocence; he
traded for the horse fairly and didn't
know it was stolen. Nothing could
be found against Burnor and he was
discharged. Currier and Deputy
Sheriff Burt went to Swanton Thurs
day night, where the horse was identi-
fed as the stolen animal. The out
come is that Currier pays the Luces
for their horse and can look to Bur-
nor in a civil suit for the value of the
horse, while Bufnor must look to
Badger for his property. Meanwhile
