FOUR YEAR OLD WARRANT
On Which Sam Anderson Was Arrest
 ed for Horse Stealing Yesterday.

Sam Anderson was arrested yeSter- day on q charge of stealing gray horse, q set of harness and buggy from J. W. Ambrose. This alleged of fense was committed in 1899 and a war rant for his arrest was issued at that time by Justice Johnstone. Anderson could not be found and the warrant was not served but was left at the office of the sheriff, where for four years it was bUri2d among a lot of old papers.
 Anderson left the country but re- turned about q year ago and for some time he has been employed al the Hotel Adams ranch. All the men who were in the office at the time of the issuing of the warrant had gone out and lost interest ir the matter and recollection of it. The new officers had never heard of the case.
 In the course of 0verhauling the old papers Of the Shoriff's office the other day the warrant was found and the sheriff happened to learn that Ander- son was in the country again. He was arrested yesterday and was taken be- fore Justice Burnett for arraignment.
 He denied that he had stolen the property of Ambrose. but he said he knew something about the disappear ance of it. An acquaintance of his hired the rig from the Ambrose corral and they went to Glendale intending to return the same day. They hitched the horse at Glendale and when they looked for it again they found it gone: it had broken loose. It has never been returned to Mr Ambrose. Anderson said he did rot know whether his friend ever gave Ambrose any satisfaction for it or not or whether he ever went hack to see him after returning iron! that trip to Glendale. He will prob ably be given a preliminary examina- tion today.
 There was another of these old war rants dug up the day before against Francisco Teran. It was erroneously stated that it had been found in the court of Justice Robertson to whom it had descended from the police depart ment. As matter of fact it had been transferred by the outgoing officers to the sheriff's office instead of having been returned to the court. whence it issued.
