GRISwoLD, Ia, July 22.-Cspecial.)-
About a year ago E. H. Hendrix, living
north Of this place, had a buggy stolen in
a most mysterious manner. No trace Of 1t
was found for several weeks, when some
boys who were fishing saw it standing in
a grove along the river. The buggy was
taken home and watch kept. Two men,
Clarence Zappy and James Blain, were seen
around the place where the buggy was
found, but not enough evidence could be
obtained at the time TO convict them and
the matter was dropped. In the meantime
Zappy was arrested for stealing hides and
was sent to the penitentiary. Blain left for
parts unknown. Recently he returned to
this part of lowe and was located near
Walnut. He was arrested and is now in
jail in AvOca, and will be indicted on a
charge OF stealing the buggy. He is also
wanted for being implicated in stealing
the hides at Griswold
