 When Tip Stanford brought Hehry Gr1adstaff from Mowry. in Santa Cruz county, for having stolen Dr. E. S.. Gsafrey's riding horse. and lodged him in the Howell jail he little dreamed that he had caught a professional herse thief. so to say. Grindstaff is evidently averse to traveiing m any other manner except on horseback, and aiso goes after hls horse dsais in a systematic manner. all of which Tip Stamford ferrcted out. It appears that a short tine ago Grindstaff dropped into Patagonia, and having nothing te do and being short of funds, looked akeut for anything that might turn up. StrelliRg down the main thoroughfare of Patagonia he saw q fine brown horse, with a good saddle on him, standing loose along a fence. Look ing about to see whether there was anybody in sight or not, and seeing nobody. Grindstaff lost no time in get ting on the horse, and soon put dis tanee between himself and Patagonia. He came all the way to Lowell, and had no difficulty in selling the horse and saddle to MT Brophy for $2o.oe cash, giving a proper bill of sale for the same and signing his own name thereto. As the outfit was easily worth $6o, MT. Brophy congratulated himself ca the excellent trade he ha6 made. and thought no more about it, as covpunchers often come to town, buck the tiger and then sell their out fits to get out of town, and horsetrad- CTS thus often pick up fine snaps. Af- ter getting hold of the twenty, Grind staff went and had good time in the usual way of his kind. When the money was gone he was up against 1t. and looked tor means to get away on. as he was ayerse to working in the bowels Of the earth like a common, honest miner, and loved the freedom of the plains above everything else. Coming up the main street street he saw a fine looking gray riding horse duly ssddied and accoutred standing ing in front Of the Mason building, and lost no time in getting on top of the same and making off herewith Back the old trail he went, and why he should have done so is a mystery to everybody except perhaps to himself. As previously stated in the Review. he had no difficulty in selling the out fit to party in Mowry, who now wishes he had not bought it. Grind staff again got s2e for the outfit (which is easily worth si25), and went and made merry. when Tip Stan ford came along and nailed him. And asw the PslsEonin man is after him, tee.
