Icate With Man Who Hircd Thelr
Horse.
Thursday a stranger came into
Bailey aud Foster's livery stable wlth
an old broken down buggy and a splko
tailed horse and wanted to put up hl3
anlmal for few days. Frlday tho
man came back and wanted to hire a
team to go to Waterbury. Bailey gave
him one of the best horses ln tho
stable, one of the big black palr, and
one of the best buggies they had ln the
stable. The horse is valued at $350
alone and the buggy was almost a
new one.
Bailey went away Frday aud did
not come back untll last ntght and
as Fo3ter did not know anythlng
about how long the horse had beeu
let for he had supposed lt waa all
right untll Sunday nlgbt when Mr.
Bailey got home and found the rlg
still out.
They telephoned to Waterbury and
no one has seen the rlgh or tho man
there and up to last night no trace of
him had been dlscovered, but lt ls
thougbt that he has gone across tho.
Canadlan border by this time.
Henry Lawson clalms to have seen
