some conjecture, and not SC. very much.
! either. about the mysterious return OF
| Councilman Sanders horse and buggy
which was stolen from him on Wednes-
| day night and brought back the next
day 1t is supposed that the outfit
was taken by John Hazard. Hazard
was in town that day and evening.
and wanted to go to his home. ten
miles cut in the country His pre-
| viOus record in handling the property
| of ether people at once led to the :us-
picion that he had taken the rig. The
suspicion has been pretty we'll con
| firmed, but it is not certain that any
| thing Will be done about it. since the
property was brought back undanl-
! aged Hazard says he did not take it.
but that he walked out home
and he complained the next day q.
being tired and sore from his unwonted
| exercise. Councilman Sanders feels
| that something ought to be done about
| Ii. for he remembers the state of Irn-
easiness he was in from the time he
missed his horse until the animal wa.
returned to him. Last winter II horse
and buggy belonging to a lady living in
the country was taken from in front Of
d store in this city. and a day OF TWO
later the rig was found loose on the
! Yuma road. II was ascertained the.
| that Hazard had had possession Of ;he
property.
