roads were very rough and 1t was cas-

Keifer went to work and after he had
gone he says Miller hitched his five
year-old bay horse to the buggy to
drive to Lexington. One Of the Keif.

had given him permission to use the
rig and he replied he had.
When the farmer came to dinner he
noticed the rig was gone and his
daughter told him Miller had driven
it to Lexington. Little was thought
of the matter until evening when he
did not return with the rig. Mr..
Keifer then telephoned to neighbor-

of Miller is employed, but he had not
seen Jack. Mr.. Keifer next called up
his son at Alta and he remembered
