STOLEN

1t is believed that two horses, be-
longing to Sherman w. Moody, the
jeweler, were stolen last night from
barn in the rear of the home of
Roy Smith. matchmaker in the
Moody store, the barn being located
on the alley near Eighth street be-
tween Main and Rood.
The two horses, one a fine little
driving mare, a sorrel, recently pur-
chased by Mr.. Moody, and the other
a large and valuable bay horse, were
in their stalls in the barn as usual
last night when the Smith family re-
tired. While the barn door was not
locked, it was fastened as usual and
it is not believed that the horses
could have broken out.
DIR. c. E. Taylor. who resides near
the Smith home, stated this morn
ing that he woke up suddenly in the
night and heard a door, evidently of
a barn, slammed shut. He heard
only the one noise. A sister of Mrs.
Taylor states that she heard a barn
door slam and afterward heard some
horses running.
1t is possible that the horses broke
out and strayed into the country, but
it is generally believed that they
were taken out.
Sheriff Schrader is endeavoring to
locate the missing animals. Up to
late hour this afternoon nothing
had been learned of their where
abouts.
