Creston. July Ray Brown. an Al
ton lad. was arrested at Alton Satur-
day night on the charge of horse steal
ing, discriminating evidence In the
shape of a stolen horse belonging to
Bert Benton. OF Lorimor, being found
where the lad had tied it before COM
ing into the city. AfteR the arrest OF
Brown, party of officers went to his
home southwest of Alton and made
complete search of the premises, and
found proof Of additional robberies that
it is supposed that Brown had COM
mitted. A roll of clothing was found
concealed in an outbuiildng which was
fastened to the horse of Yves Ham
mond. when it disappeared several
weeks ago, and from this fact 1t is
supposed that Brown also stole Ham
mond's horse. Hammond was a young
farmer who left his horse tied in the
middle of ATOMS business district sew
eral weeks ago and on his return found
it missing, and up to Saturday evening
has been able to learn nothing of its
wherea bouts. Concealed about the
barn on Mr.. Browns farm was also
found several hundred dollars worth
of jewelry supposed to have been TAX
en- from the recently robbed jewelry
store at Tingley The horse Brown
had in his possession at the time of his
arrest was returned to Benton, whose
property it undoubtedly was. No
trace has been found of the Hammond
horse, other than a report received
from the bank at Arispe, stating that
just few days after it had been stol-
en- Brown had deposited quite sum OF
money in the bank and the SUPPOSE
ton Is that 1t was the price of the
stolen horse. Brown was brought to
this city and is In the county Jail
awaiting his trial, which is scheduled
for Friday. He is a young man OF
about 20 or % years of age, unmarried.
and has hitherto borne good reputa-
ton. His arrest Saturday evening was
purely matter of luck for the officers,
as no suspicion would have been
aroused by the man had not an Alton
resident recognized the horse that
Brown was riding as one formerly
owned by him, and, one which he had
been warned to keep a lookout for.
