STOLEN HORSE RECOVERED
Man who Stole a Girl Sold the Team
Here.

Some weeks ago Omer Robey Sc
cured a team Of Joe johnson here
and used it to steal farmers daugh-
ter at Wyatt. They have not been
heard of since, but it seems that the
girl was not the only thing that he
stole. Just prior to the theft Of the
girl he hired horse and buggy from
Gay Hayes at Morgantown, but never
returned them. He sold them here to
Walter Sedwick. Mr.. Hayes located
the property and Tuesday made am
davit before Squire Gordon that GER
tain horse was the one stolen from
him by Robey. The animal had been
traded several times and was found In
possession Of a man named Davis.
Hayes recovered the horse. He has
not yet secured the buggy and har-
ness.

many editors scents what pays the best
and goes for it bald-headed''; when men
write, as they are paid, one day on one
side Of a question, and the next day on
the other side; when commercialism has
largely driven out individual respon-
sibility-in this era of journalism some
ZOO men and more unworthy men seek
ing by such methods to hide the truth
that they write as paid to write, have
sought to almost defy the Independent

principles in shadow as we'll as in sun
shine in poverty as well as in pros

= The true and manly editor, whether in
dependent or partisan, is an honor to
his community and to his country. The
partisan editor, who is wanting in truth
and III honor is as bad as the editor who
uses an independent cloak to conceal
his want of convictions or to hide the
sale of mis- columns.
