Drummer AN
old OFFENDER
AGED HORSE THIEF SAID TO BE
OLD HAND AT THE
BUSINESS.

GRAFTON, Aug. John Brurner,
the aged man who was arrested at
Prurtytowu by Constable Dean on q
charge Of having stolen horse from
a man living near Waynesboro, Pa.
appears to hare very bad record and
has been at his business for a num-
her OF years. according to statements
by John Roe. WHO lives near Prunty-
town. who was in the city on his
way home from CIarksburg, and who
heard Of the capture Of the thieI
here.
1t appears from the conversation
had with Mr.. Roe thar Drummer has
been coming to this section of the
country for the past four years shout
tais season and that he always brings
good horse, buggy and harness with
MIN, which he has never had any
trouble in disposing Of. as he has in
the past three years sold al least
three Of the rigs he has brought
through this section TO one person in
the vicinity OF Pruntytown.
Mr.. Roe heard OF the warrant be-
ing out for Drummer and had known
from the description that the man
Who had been through that section
in other years was the fellow wanted,
and he had been on the lookout for
him. but was compelled 10 go away
yesterday, and thus missed getting
the alleged thief.
From what has so far been learned
Of Brupner it would appear that he
mas been in the business of purloiu-
ing horses and outfits for some years
past making a practice of driving
them long distances and dIsposing OF
them in a section OF the country whera
neither he nor the animals were
known.
1t would not now be surprising
since his much has developed If 1t
would turn out that he has been do
Ing a land Office business along this
line and that he is wanted in other
sections on similar charges, thus
making the capture most important
one.
Brunner is still in the county jail
and will remain there until the ON
Gers who went back to Pennsylvania
can have time to lay the facts before
the governor of that State and then
go to Charleston and secure the nee
essary requisitton papers which VIII
permit him TO take the alleged Grim.
inaI back to Pennsylvania for trial.
1t was understood to-day that a re,
ward Of sle0 was out for the fellow
and II such Is the case, 1t Will be a
nice thing financially for the local
othcers in addition to the Importance
Of having made the capture.
