SHERIFF CAPTURES AN
ALLEGED HORSE THIEF

Sunday night horse was stolen
from A. E. Ashburn at Ragtown and
Sheriff Garrett was notified to be on
the watch for the man. Yesterday
afternoon he located a suspicious
looking individual in this city, and
engaged him in conversation.
The unsuspecting individual was
not aware that he was talking to the
sheriff of Carter county when he was
eXpatiating upon the good points of
the horse in his possession, and, as
the sheriff is somewhat of a horse
fancier himself, let the man do most
of the talking while he was verifying
the animal according to description
furnished him.
When the sheriff became satisfied
that he was on the right trail he
informed the man that he was wanted
for the alleged theft of the very ami
NAL he was talking about, and after
few preliminary protestations ac-
companied the sheriff to the county
Jail, where he is detained pending a
preliminary hearing.
The man was registered at the Jail
as T. b. McGraw, and it is reported
that he lives in Love county.

ted States marine corps, with the
loss of few men killed and wounded.
has quietly and effectually quelled
the latest revolt in Santo Domingo,
and, without time lost in undue par
ley has forced the rebel chieftains to
lay down their arms and return to
peaceful pursuits, according to late
advices from Monte Christi.
United States marines now control
the entire island on which Haiti and
Santo Domingo are situated, and that
control was gained without serious
fighting or loss of life, it is claimed,
because of the thorough preparedness
of the marines for the business at
hand, and their knowledge of the
people and their ways.
