Do You Know Lee Armstrono?

A. H. Walker. a Mesa rancher, has been making inquiries for one Lee Armstrong and gives the following reason for desiring to locate him. Walker states that some days ago, he saw gray horse wandering around his place and in need of feed and wa ter. The horse had a rope and chain about his neck and fearing that the animal would become entangled and perhaps suffer from thirst and hunger. placed the horse in his corral located along the road side. He made inquiry around but could find no owner, think ing. however that the inquiries made by him and the place where the horse was confined, would soon succeed in locating the owner. Returning after an absence of several hours, he found the horse missing and a chain of his own taken. On the barn door was pinned a note stating that Lee Arm strong, Mesa, Box 175, was the owner and had taken the animal, and would return and settle any costs. After waiting several days, Walker made in- quiry and found that the holder of Box 175 never heard of any Lee Armstrong and the post office employees say that no mail has been called for by that name. The register of Mesa rooming house bears the name but the register was undated and the writer had been away for about two weeks. Hence the mystery. Walker is hoping that the right man has the horse, but finds himself wondering as to the lack of information concerning the identity of Armstrong.
