The Supreme court holds that Will

Keeps his horse through the night.
The animal was missed along about i
O'clock Tuesday morning, and had~ev-
identity been lead away as the wagon
had not been disturbed.
The horse was found by Benjamin
Cannon wandering about near his
farm back of Fairfield Center and
brought into the city by him, Wedncs-
day. The man who had him attenlpt-
ed to borrow a wagon of the people
along the roads in that vicinity, but
without success and apparently finally
gave it up as a bad bargain and aban-
doned the horse.
The matter had been reported and
in and a clue to the whereabouts of
the thief discovered Deputy Marshal
,Guliifer took a team and started out
on the trail, following it easily enough
rs far as SkoWhegan.
The deputy marshal returned to the city
in the evening, having been able to locate
his man. He traced him to within about
Il mile of Skowhegan, whore the trail end
ed and he could not pick it up again. The
man evidently took to the back lots after
getting near the town and got under cover
in some secluded SPOT.

In one place he said he wanted to go to
one town. and in another to some other
town in an opposite direction. lie men
toned several places but whether this
was to cover his trail or on account of
some popularity is unknown AT one
place he awoke the inmates of a farm
house in the middle Of the night and
wanted someone to come down and hold
the horse while he got a drink of water
He was told to hitch the animal to q tree
ana then asked where the well was, and
when told replied: well, you are a HI
of an accommodating set here" and went
on. The officer was only Il little behind
him into Skowhcgan, but he could not To-
cate him there.
He is described as man of medium
height ana weight with sort Of grcasy
complexion. He wore a black derby hat,
Il coat of 4 yellowish tinge and Il pair Of
darker trousers. He is Il stranger in this
vicinity and his actions have certainly
been peculiar
