Now, however, the animals have been
recovered and in a somewhat remark
able manner. Immediately after their
disappearance Hughes offered a reward
or $500 for the conviction of the thieves
and 800 for the return of the horses.
This evidently frightened the thieves,
for they voluntarily returned the stolen
animals, which now have been found
a few miles south of Bad river, headed
for their home ranch. After taking
them within of Hughes ranch
the thieves abandoned them and made
themselves scarce, after assuring them
selves that the horses could easily
