Ardmore, I.T., Aug 9. – Two weeks ago there was stolen from the rack at Tioga, Texas, a valuable bay mare, saddle and bridle, the property of S.P. Hart of that place. A description of the horse was sent to the various officers throughout the country, and a reward of $50 offered by Sheriff McAffee of Sherman for the return of the horse or capture of the thief.
Yesterday Deputy United States Marshal George M. Stewart noticed a horse near Thackerville, answering the description of the stolen animal and found that the owner, Bob Richardson, had lately traded a horse for it with a stranger. It proved to be the horse that was stolen, and late last night the officers captured Richard Williams, the supposed thief, who had two fine horses in his possession, which have since been claimed by the owners. Williams is now in Ardmore jail, and will be given a hearing the coming week.
