SHERIFF HARRIS LANDS
HORSE RUSTLER
w. A. Adams of Holbrook, Idaho, Who
Stole Truett Horses Landed
Behind Bars

Sheriff Harris captured w. A
Adams, the man who stole the Truett
horses. after hard chase last Sat
urday. Thirteen head of horses were
found in his possession, another which
he sold was located and recovered
and another which he dropped from
the bunch was located.
Sheriff Harris left here Friday in
his auto and that night he had sup.
per in Twin Falls, a distance OF one
hundred and seventy-five miles. AT
ter supper he drove to Oakley, thence
fifteen miles to Raft river where he
found bis man and placed him under
arrest The entire distance covered
by the sheriff Friday in his machine
Is two hundred and sixt-two and one
half mile He was accompanied by
Frank and Bud Truett who went to
identify the stolen animals. The lat
ter is driving them home.
When arrested, Adams first said
that he was in the employ of the Owy.
hee Land and Stock Co., and that he
had been hired to sell horses on com
mission. Later on the way home he
admitted his guilt and told the sher
iff of the route he had taken after
leaving the Truett range. An infor.
nation charge will be placed against
him and II Is believed that he will
plead guilty and throw himself upon
the mercy of the court. Adams took
the horses q week ago last Saturday
The day before he was seen by Frank
Truett riding in the mountains, but
at that time nothing was suspected
The horses stolen were all Of the bet
ter class, most of them being big
Shire mares.
The capture Of Adams is most for
tunate and happened in this way: c.
F. Hickey superintendent of the Span
ish Ranch, recently reported the loss
Of number of horses to the sheriff
and offered reward of 5000. The
latter sent out cards In various direc
tions and one of them reached Con
stable Jake Zundell of Montello. zun
dell communicated with his brother
Sherifr ]. H. zundell of Box Elder
County, Utah, and the latter reported
to Sheriff Harris that a number oi
horses were driven through that
county evidently bound for Idaho
Sheriff Harris found that the descrip
tlons did not answer to the Hickey
hroses, so he phoned to the Truett
ranch and asked II they had missed
some horses. The reply was in the
affirmative 80 the sheriff started after
the fleeing man, and as stated above
captured him after hard ride.

Many man has gone down to failure ln pup lie life because, while he knew much, ho felt little No man who does nor sympathize at once with natural human ambitions and hoqes, and with human suffering and want, has any business being President.

But noth- ing came of 1t
 Woodrow Wilson has very clear ideas as to the ends of legislation; but in his messages and public state ments he has always treated matters of detail with a pleasing yagueness. He was criticised for this at first.

 Shall we beauty and replenfsh?
 Are water works and sewer nec- essary to the accomplishment of these ends as we'll as to health and happiness?
