team of horses and a set of harness
from the barn of Carl Praeuner and
a top buggy from the farmyard of Con-
rad Nolk both Madison county farm

of the North Nebraska Live Stock Pro
tective association, Mr.. Praeuner, the

member of the anti-horse thief associa-
ton. Once discovered, the anti-horse

farm of Carl Praeuner six miles south
of Battle Creek. There they secured
a

of Concord harness. One horse had a
small split in tip of ear and wirecut
on left foot. The other horse has wire
cut on hind leg above the ankle.
The harness had been changed to COM
mon harness.

neighboring farm top buggy was TAX
en- from Conrad Volk. The buggy had
red running gears with yellow stripe.
The anti-horse thief association at
once offered reward of 500 for the
capture and conviction of the thief and
the return of the team.
Thursday a posse left Battle Creek
to run down the thief or thieves. The
horse-thief hunt was under the direc-
ton of George w. Losey of Battle
Creek, chief captain of the north Ne
braska association.
A message Friday morning stated
that the pursuing party had followed
the horse thieves through Elgin and
| Petersburg, where it was thought they
were only about ten miles behind. AT
/ Petersburg Losey and his men changed
horses and with fresh mounts started
on anew with the expectation of cap
turing the thieves before the day is
over. A number of Petersburg horse
men joined the searching party at that
place to assist in the capture.
