WHERE IS OWNER?

Will Bull, a resident of Spring
Grove, has a horse which does not be-
long to him. He believes it was
stolen.
Christmas day a speeding motorist
bumped off the road man driving in

molished and the man considerably
bruised. He asked Bull to shelter the
horse, stating he was going to Rich
mond to secure medical attention and
would then return for the horse. The
man called a taxi and departed in it
for Richmond and that was the last
seen or heard Of him by Bull.
