Corunna. Dec. 23.-After weeks
Of fruitless search. Bruce Convis the
, Henderson .auctioneer and owner of
Efwyn. thoroughbred running mare
has found the animal, at San Juan,
Porto Rico. Just what he will do
with regard to bringing the runner
aaek TO Michigan, Mr.. Convis has not
ieoided.
During the county fairs in various
parts of the state last fall, Mr.. Con-
Wis entered the jumper, brown
mare OF considerable reputation and
speed. Elwyn won a number of good
Gaces, and horse man named Post,
WING at Grand Rapids, leased her
from her owner, and entered her in
Convis then leased her to the jockey
who had been riding her, J. w. Ward
whose home city is unknown to Con-
Tia.
Ward took E1wyn to a couple of
indiana towns, ending up at Porter,
where the state troops, under the di-
Eection Of Governor Marshall, pre-
NShAcu lnI Juer racing. mere was
VT stable rent due the track man
agement. and a writ of attachment
vas served. Ward sold the mare, 1t
lie alleged, for 500 to satisfy the
claim. The purchaser, a man named
Haymaker, took Elwyn to Baltimore
and later to Virginia city, and it
was at this place that Convis lost all
Grace of the mare. A Michigan man
returning from the Virginia races
told of the disappearance of Elwyn,
and Convis consulted Sheriff Herriclx
regarding what action he should
take.
The newspapers told of Porto Ri
cans purchasing fast horses in this
country and shipping them to Sal
Juan, and Sheriff Herrick wrote
otter to the chief of police there. A
reply came Saturday that Elwyn was
tbere but failed to state whether she
was being held, or what was being
done to protect Mr.. Convis's rights.
Mr.. Convis says the animal was
worth about $3.50. He expects to
prosecute Ward providing he can
learn the whereabouts of the Jockey.
Ward is believed to be with the other
horsemen at San Juan.
