HORSES SUPPOSED TO BE STOLEN-Intelligence has been received by
Deputy Sheriff Moses Cook, that a pair of large bay mares, buggy and harness,
were left at Rickenour's tavern in the southern part of the county, on the 14th
of December last. They arrived there on the day previous, driven by a
respectable looking gentleman, who in the morning left, telling the landlord
that he would be gone a couple of days, and charging him to take good care of
his horses.
Since then, which is upward of a month, the man has not been heard of and the the above establishment is still in possession of the gentleman in whose charge they were given.
