WAGON AND
 TEAM STOLEN
H. F. Sunderland, the Loser, and Con. stable Chas. Harbert in Hot Pursuit.


 F. Sunderland was stolen on Thursday of last week. The story goes that a new conner arrived in the vicinity just south of town about the middle of last week. Upon deciding to locate, he procured the services of Mir. Sunder- land to go to Cisco, where he claimed his household goods were and move them out. In company with the strang- CT, who gave his name as Thompson, Mir. Sunderland drove to Cisco. Upon reaching Cisco the new man claimed he had brother-in-law a short distance away, and before loading he wished to borrow the team and drive over on a little business with him, which was granted, but time went by and no re- turn, so Mr. Sunderland returned to Green Forest and procured the services of Constable Chas. Harbert and went in search. The wagon and one horse was found near Viola, Mo.
 Here the driver decided a change, so he told farmer his story that he had started to his brother-in-law and etc, but from one cause another had decid- ed to borrow a saddle and leave the wagon and one horse there and finish the trip horse back, so the saddle was loaned and the journey continued. Mir. Sunderland and posse continued in pur- suit, until Saturday, when they aband- oned hopes and turned the matter over to Sheriff Johnson and Horse Thief association. A twenty-five dollar re- ward is offered for the return of the horse, bridle and saddle and convinctior, of the thief.
 It was thot when Constable Wyatt McNabb of Eureka Springs returned from Bentonville with Charley Gamer on. who had been in jail there, charged with stealing horse in Eureka Springs Saturday night, that he might be the same thief they were looking for, but Mr. Sunderland could not positively identify him as being the same man, as the man wanted had mustache and the man caught was ceanly shaven, altho he admitted he had just had his mustache removed. Further action is being taken on the part of MT. Sunder- land, and it is hoped that the thief will be duly punished and the horse early returned to its owner. Mir. Sunderland is poor man and the loss falls heavily upon him.
