Hayward Wanderers Confess to Theft
But Owner Of Horse is Mystery.

Boone. July 20.-County Attorney
Frank Holingsworth is up against it.
He has q couple OF self-confessed
horse thieves in the county Jail. but he
don't know to whom the horse belongs
and can not find out when nor where
the horse was stolen. The animal is IN
the possession of Marshal Oleson, OF
Madrid. and the men in the possession

the horse. They readily told the mar

each took turns in riding him. Oleson
telephoned to County Attorney Hol-
lingsworth and he instructed the mar
shat to bring the men to Boone. This
was done and they are being held
