horse thief somewhere around. For
fifteen 'yean, now. no horse has been
stolen anywhere near here, but at last
the charm has been broken. This conn

horse belonging to Edward Wilson of
this town ha disappeared. It's a white
horse, with a star oa its forhead. The
thief will, 5 of course, be treated in the
nanal fsshion, if apprehended. How
erer, if it turns out that he stole a

away the horse, nothing as usual
will be done about it. A horse is one
