 HUFSTETLER PROBABLY INNO- CENT.-There is little doubt that Charles Hufstetler, who was held to the grand jury last week on the charge of stealing a horse from the Kingston Mining company, is innocent. but 1t is certain that he is very foolish The most damaging thing about the affair after the fact of being found with the horse was that he told contradictory stories. He said in the first place that the horse was a stray and that he had permission from the keeper of a corral at Hot Springs to ride it to Phoenix. He said also that he had told different people along route that the dnlillal did not belong to him. and that if they saw any one inquiring for it 10 say that he mad it. On his arrival at Me Governs corral he said that the horse was his and that he had ridden 1t from San Bernardino. Cal It was learned yesterday that on his way to town he stopped at one of the camps of the Arizona Water company. A man in the camp wanted to buy the horse, but Hufstetler told him that the animal did not belong to him. He said it was stray and he showed the brand. tell
 ing the men in the camp if anybody made any inquiry to say that the horse would be found at McGOvern's corral. He was warned that he was running q risk riding the horse of an unknown owner and it is thought induced hin to tell McGovern the lie that got him into most of his trouble.
