MYSTERY HORSE.
At the Joy stabIe-Left to Be Shod by Young Man Who Does Not Re- turn.

A mystery horse is stapled at Nj. R. Joys place here. The attention of the police was called to the matter Tuesday morning. Last Friday morn horse to the shop of Michael Connor and left an order that she be .'shod all round. This was early, before 8 o'clock. The order was complied with quickly. but at 8 at night the man had not come back for the animal, which was then taken by MT. Connor to the Joy stable for safe keeping No one has put in an appearance to claim the animal, mare about six years of age, dark bay, and having an irregular shaped white star on her forehead. MT. Connor said Tuesday that he considered the horse worth at least 250. He gave his opinion from the appearance of the horse when it was brought to his shop. that she had been in pasture. She had no shoes On her hind feet at the time.
 MT. ConHor said that the young man who was tall and lanlzy and wore a brown oyefcoak, left the animal gave his order as to what was to be done and went out. Ne one in the shop knew the fellow, but all would rec ognize him if they saw him again.
 No notification of a horse that an- Swers the description of the one held here having been stolen has been re- eeived. by the police. If a horse as good as this one has been taken from anyone in this section for many miles around it seems peculiar that notifi- cation has not been sent out they say. When the horse was left at the shop where she was to be silod she was led in, having nothing on her but a halter. though her body showed the marks of a harness. While the matter is being investigated or until some word comes from someone who can explain the mystery the horse is to be kept at the Joy stable, where it is improving wonderfully in appearance / Good Shows at Theater. With special scenery of very at tractive nature and the various fea- lures that are included in their act Montgomery and McLain, sketch artists and novelty singers and dancers pro- vided some unusually pleasant diver sion at the shows at the Bradley the ater, where they were well received Tuesday. The team. was invited to mum club members at the smoker in the evening.
