SO, just what will happen to the

horse from a stable at 2039 Georgia
avenue northwest early today Is a
matter of speculation. OF course, 1T
all depends on whether the thief Is
caught by the police.
The horse is owned by ]. r. Davis,

night Davis left his steed locked in
the stable, munching on a lot of nay
and oats. He thought the animal
secure, but when he opened tho
stable door this morning, his, four

reported to the police that the hors &
had been stolen and urged that the
thief be captured. He values the
