One of the most determined efforts to steal and disguise a horse, so that It would not be known was that made by the thief who led off E. A. Read's driving horse two weeks' ago and hid it in a pasture three miles from town. The pasture was an inside field with but single corner visible to passeraby on the public highways. The only person liv ing where a view of the field could be ob tained waa B. L. Tool, who noticed the horse in the field about a week after It was stolen. Being something of a horse man he noticed that Its action when trot ting waa much better than the ordinary farm horse and went over to look at the animal. s A closer view called to mind the description of Mr. Read's animal and he was soon convinced It waa the lost or stolen horse. Mr. Toot drove to Shenandoah and secured Mr. Read, who went out to examine the animal. In the meantime, however, the thief bad taken the horse and had roached It, had docked its tall and had made two fictitious brands on It. The brands were made by trimming the hair very closely so as to resemble some of the usual western brands. A white spot on the animal's hip had also been care fully plucked out, as shown by the absence of the hair. Mr. Read, however, fully rec ognized the horse and brought it home. The thief has not been apprehended. Northwestern Opens New Depot. ONAWA. Ia., Dec. 1. (Special Tele- gram.)
