Santa FREE HACKIRIDE IS CAUSE|0F TROUBLE ONE OF CLOOTEN'S HACK'S BOR ROWED UNCEREMONIOUS LY LAST NIGHT. Soldier Said to Have Driven to Post and Then Turned the Team and Hack Loose. Sheriff Prank Barnes went to Fort Lincoln at an early hour this morn ing where he arrested Corporal Mat thew Roberts on the charge of grand larceny. Shortly after one o'clock last night one of Clootens' hacks suddenly dis appeared from the front of the Sun nyside grocery store, across the track. It was surmised to have been taken by Roberts who had just left the store saying he was going to the post. The officers of the guard were im mediately notified and started up the road when it was seen that a hack had stopped behind one of the officers houses and Roberts was seen going across the parade grounds. This morning with the assistance of the officers at the ipost Sheriff Barnes) carefully measured the shoe tracks in the snow and evidence is said to point rather strongly to the fact that it was Roberts who alone drove the hack to the post and turned the horses loose, though he strictly maintains he is innocent.
