A Horse. Buggy and Harness
Stolen.

Monday night valuable horse was
stolen from the stable of Frank Cowan,
312 North Monroe street and also a bug
gy and harness saved from the barn of
Frank HI. Lehman On the West road,
which was destroyed by fire caused by
lighting Saturday mOrning, the harness
and buggy having been left outdoors
since the fire. A rig answering the
description was seen early Tuesday
morning going west which was probably
the property stolen and it is hoped that
the thief or thieves will be apprehended
and the property recovered.
STOLEN HORSE RECOVERED.
The horse, buggy and harness were re-
covered Wednesday near Milford, where
the thief or thieves drove and then
turned the horse loose in the pasture of
farmer, who telephOned to this city
asking if such a horse was missing. The
culprit probably thought that he would
be apprehended if he continued with the
rig, abandoned the same and continued
his journey on foot. Mr.. Cowan was
glad to recover his horse even if he had
been put to considerable trouble.

Arthur faithfully followed direc-
tons, narrowly escaping the outraged
brute's small but sharp pointed heels
on occasion His efforts not being
productive Of much success, finally in
his despair he resorted to brute
strength; he would pick the little ami
NAL up bodily, pack and all-he was
man of powerful physique-and swing
him around until his head pointed IN
the right direction; then with prayer
that the burro would keep 1t there for
a few rods anyway, he would set him
down and start him all over again.
The process oft repeated became mo-
notonous after awhile. Arthur was Q

could. Kirkby, who rode one horse
and led two others. and therefore was
exempt from burro driving, observed
him with great interest. He and Brad
shaw had strayed way behind the rest
of the party.
At last Arthur's resistance, patience
and piety, strained to the breaking
