A. B. Luce made a trip to Bay City Monday in an endeavor to locate the party who traded him stolen horses.
Mrs. A. B. Luce and daughter Ora, who have been at Robstown for a couple of weeks, returned home Saturday. As a result of a horse trade made last September with a strange man Mr. Luce is without a horse at this time. The trade referred to was made by Mr. Luce in good faith, giving a horse he had for a span of ponies, and later traded these to David Sarchet. Last week parties came along and claimed the ponies stating that they had been stolen, and finally secured them from Mr. Sarchett, who then reclaimed the horse traded to Mr. Luce which left the latter without a horse. Mr. Luce believes he can regain the horse he traded for the stolen team, as well as apprehend the thief.
