The effect that stranger was in town

gy for sale at very low price. The
marshal asked the sheriff to investi-
gate, Accordingly Sheriff Parker
drove to Fredericktown and when he

-Stringfellow had sold the horse and
buggy to Bert Graham of Mt. Gilead
Tor SIS. 1t appears that Graham had
given Stringfelow 50 and stated he
would give the balance after driving
the horse about the village for short
time When the sheriff arrived on the
scene he found Stringfellow in the
waiting room of the u. & o. station
waiting for tne remainder of his mon
ey.
Sheriff Parker questioned the man
al some length. At first he said his
uame was Robert Purdy, son of Frank
Purdy, residing south of Mt. Vernon.
Afterwards he told the sheriff that his

that he was the son of John Stringfel-
low, residing near Cavallo. He said
he was 10 years of age and that he
secured the horse and buggy from a
liveryman at Warsaw and that he had
driven TO Gambler and thence to Fred
ericitown. He did not deny selling
the horse, but would give no further
