Younq Fellow Named Warren Steals
a Mare FromStables at Seymour
and SeIIsHerto a Party Here.
Animal Identified and Restored to the Rightful
Owner---Thief Impersonated Another Man or
Gives Ficticious Name---6et Check Cashed
and Skips

An iron-gray mare, belonging to 7. Z.
staInaker, of Seymour station, Lewis
county, was stolen from his stables
Tuesday night and all trace was lost Of
her until the trail leading toward Clarks-
burg was discovered
The next morning after the theft a
young man giving his name as Il. D.
Barrett and his residence as Mt. Glare,
sold the animal here to Frank Reynolds,
including the bride and saddle, which
had also been stolen, for $3.50. That
evening Mr.. Reynolds sold the mare to
John W. Stuart for SIS. Both trans
actions were legitimate and great was
the surprise when they learned that they
had beer doing business with stolen
property. Stalnaker's father, $. Stall
maker, came to the city Friday evening
and identified the mare as the one that
had been stolen from his son. He made
affidavit before Squire James \. David
that the horse, saddle and bride belong
ed to his son. After this had been done,
Mr.. Stuart. being convinced that the
mare had been stolen, surrendered her
to Mr.. stalnaker, and Mr.. Reynolds gave
up the saddle and bride.
1t turns out that the fellows name is
Warren, and not Barrett, as he gave it
to Mr.. Reynolds. He resides at Sey-
mour. but has been away the past three
months working at railroad camp. He
came through here Tuesday evening. and
running across Mr.. Reynolds, he told
him about the mare, fully describing
her and requested him to buy her, as he
had no use for her He told Mr.. Rey-
nolds that he had paid 500 for her and
was willing to take $40 for her. Ninety
dollars had been paid for the mare. but
il was BY Mr. Stainallcr, who purchased
her three months ago, and before Warren
left Seymour to work on the railroad.
Wednesday morning, while Mr.. Rcy-
nolds was milking COW at his home,
Warren rode up with the mare and tired
to sell her. Reynolds did not care about
buying her, but after Warren had IN
sisted long time he gave him s. in
money and check for $3.50 for her
and the saddle and bride. Warren stay.
ed around the city until the banks open
ed for the day and got the money on
the check. signing II in the name Of
Il. d. Barrett, the same he had told Rey-
mold. He disappeared after that and
has not been seen since.
Warren is a neighbor Of Stalnaker. re-
siding close to his home. 1t is evident
that he had the theft planned for some
time. 1t is stated that he is wanted in
Lewis county upon the charge of fors-
ing several checks also.

Mobile Register would be lost for
words To make assertions. The other
day it stated If the South American
countries should form an alliance and
vote to disregard the Monroe doctrine
in favor of the European nations it
would go hard with the United
States. That is certainly a very fine
foreign proposition. 'If'' on the
other hand the European nations
should disregard the Monroe doctrine
it would amount to the same thing.
It is all left TO the South American
or to the European nations. But did
the Register ever consider that this is
impracticable If an alliance should
be formed between the countries Of
Europe Of course the Monroe doctrine
would be crushed in very short
time, but the alliance will not be
formed. 1t is foolish to suggest the
idea that Great Britain and Germany
and Australia and France would go
into thing Of this kind and it is as
foolish to suppose that the South
American countries would combine
70 give up their possessions Just in or
der to defeat the purposes and objects
Of the Monroe doctrine. The Monroe
doctrine is a blessing to them and if
it was not i'll force or supposed to be
in force all the South American re-
publics would long since have fallen
into the hands OF other nations. But
talking about this alliance business
that is all stuff and we are happy
that it is stuff. The South American
countries can do nothing and Europe
won't.
