Got Horses,

Sheriff Welsh returned yesterday from
his chase of Peter Olson, alias Pete
Gibson, who stole the horses from far.
mer Peterson, Tuesday. The sheriff
trailed his man ninety miles southwest
in which neighborhood the thief sban.
doned the worn out horse and stole an
other one on Cedar Creek and made cd
on the old Black Hills trail ia 4 country
where houses are forty miles apart. The
sheriff found and brought back the
stolen horse, which is almost useless
from the hard riding he received. Be.
fore returning, the sheriff arranged fol
trailers and thinks the thief will event
ual.y be caught. 1t appears that Olson
or Gibson formerly worked over in c.
dar Creek country, but had bad record
having attempted two rapes in one
night and it seems strange he would re-
turn to a section where rifles are ready
to give him reception. . The sheriff
deserves credit for his chase, as it was
not an easy thing to trail man in Z
country so sparsely settled and where
trails led in all Bismarck
