cure a marriage license, and failing
to find the official set out upon his
return, but decided that he would
rather ride back In buggy, so ap-
Ipropriated Mr.. Halls vehicle to his
uses Looking about, his eyes fell up
on a set Of harness belonging to Pri-
mus Falls, colored, and this harness
striking his fancy, he appropriated

upon a bride belonging to a Mr.. Rat
terree, and this being just what he
had always fancied In brides, he deft-
ly removed 1t from Mr.. Ratterree's
horse, and put 1t on his own steed.
Then he stole a whip out of still an
other buggy, and his equipment now
being complete, he took up his jour-
ney, which resulted in his capture two
afternoons, later by Messrs. Hardin
and Bendiman. After standing trial
in Chester county for stealing Mr..
1Darby's horse Wilks will have a string
of offenses against him in York. and
with them all should amass for himself
