Local Detectives Were Very Successful Yesterday
 Yesterday was horse thief day for the local detectives and as result of their rounding the disappearance last winter of three New Haven horses, and have the men who they think undoubtedly did the jobs.
 Detective Ward arrested young Italian named Comillo Nancola, who is charged with having stolen horse from the stable of Gaelano Femolo at No. 16 Fair Street, on March A. This was an especially au- dacious theft, being perpetrated in broad daylight. On March H. when MT. Femola went to his stable to get his horse to draw some coal. he found that the horse was gone. This was about ] o'clock in the after noon, and at ? o'clock he had been in the stable and the horse was there. He re- ported the loss to Capt. Cowles of the de tectlye bureau and Detective ward was detailed to the case. Ward found that the missing horse had been sold to Abraham Rubron of No. 150 DiXwel avenue for S15. Securing q description of the man who had sold the horse, Ward traced him to Water bury, then to Southington, tll- to Bridge port. Finally, yesterday morning, Nancelo returned to New Haven anu was placed under arrest and locked up. MT Rubin went to the lookup and positively identified Nascola as the man who had sold him the horse.
 Capt. Cowles received last evening from Detective Donnely, who is in Someryile, Mass, a message saying that he had located there and arrested the man who some time ago stole ill this city horse and carriage belonging to pr. Bevins of West Haven, and horse and carriage belonging to Ne son Meen of No. 161 Meadow street.
 On November Is last, MT. Mcleins horse, bay mare, and low wheeled buggy with red running gear were stolen from George street where the horse had been hitched On November P Dr, Bevin's horse large, hark bay, and q new StanhOpe carriage with lap robes were stolen from Center street. On November 70 horse and wagon iielong ing to Arthur $. Treat, and q horse and wagon belonging to the Warner Alilk Com pany were stolen from Grown street, and later recovered by local detectives near New London. The charges against the three men arrested for these last two thefts were noled this week by State Attorney Williams.
 The many thefts of horses during the fall and winter in this city kept the detectives guessing, and they have ever since been on the lookout for traces of the thieves.
 There have been a number of horse thefts in Providence lately, and Wednesday morn ing Detective Peter Cannon of Providence teephoned to Capt Cowles that he had been to Someryille, Mass, looking for the thieves who had worked in Providence, and that he thought that he had secured trace of the missing New Haven horses At his re. vile accompanied by Dr. Bevins. Wednes- day evening they telephoned to Capt Cowes that they had recovered Dr. Bevins robes, and late yesterday afternoon Don nelly telegraphed that he had found Mir | Melein's horse and carriage and all of Dr. Bevin's missing property except the horse, and that three men were under arrest charged with many horse thefts, who are believed to be the ones who stole the four horses taken here in November
 It is possible that the men will be tried | in Rhode Island for stealing horses there before they are brought to New Haven.
