A Boy Thief Who is Making Record Breaker— Began with Skunk Hides and Winds up With Horses and Buggies, SERVED A FERMIN REFORM SCHOOL. Squire H. L. Morris of Mingo | township, was in the city Monday on the lookout for a dark roan horse 18 hands high, 17 years old, but of fine style, which had been stolen from the farm of his father J. Me. Morris, near Lucas, Henry county, on er about August 23d. The horse hada wire cut on right fore leg above hock. It was Mr. Morris’ opin- ion his horse had been stolen by «8 young man named General Wayne, as he was seen prowling about in that neighborheod the day before the animal was taken. This same young man has been operating in this county and is now a fugitive 41-4, | from justice with the officers on his trail. On the last of June this eame boy stole a buggy from Clarence Schooley, living a mile west of town, and Saturday last the vehicle was found several miles southeast of town in the neighborhood where young Wayne had been working as afarm hand. The wheels and lazy back of the buggy had been remov- ed and replaced with other wheels to throw off suspicion or detection. Mr. Schooley feund the different parts of his buggy scattered about the neighborhood and brought it home with him. As told exclusively in the Traxs last week, this boy is supposed to havestolen Fred Can- noy’s horse and buggy from the hitch rack in Butler one week ago Friday night. The horse was found the next day in Pleasant Gap town ship. He also traded a stolen pony to Dag Walden Friday and Monday following the pony was claimed by Jesso Ward, of Garden City, Cass county. The Walden pony was found the next day in Pleasant Gap township, where Wayne worked. Deputy sheriff Dyke McCann was sent to Pleasant Gap to arrest Wayne, but when he arrived at Mr. Harnis’ he found the young man gone and eo was Mr.{Cannoy’s buggy and harness. Squire H. L. Morris said Wayne was raised near the home of his father in Henry county, and that he had kuown him since he was a small lad. That when but a boy he caught a skuok,§killed it and dressed the pelt, sold it toa merchant in Lucas for 20c, then stole the pelt and resold it to another merchant across the street for the same amount. Squire Morris was of the opinion that the skunk hide was the starter of his downfall. It was not long after this episode that his father moved to the Indian Nation, and it was there the boy stole a horse and buggy, was captured, and being un- der age was sent to the reform school, where he remained three or four years. Track of the boy was thus Jost until a short time ago he made his appearance back at his old haunts in Henry county. The boy, said Squire Morrie,is well connected ia Henry county, but from early youth appears to have been incor rigible. Sheriff Mudd, Prosecuting Attor ney Clark, with their witnesses, returned from Ardmore, I. T., where they had been in an effort to secure Freeman. A transcript of all the evidence taken before the commis- sioner has been forwarded to Judge Townsend at Denver, and the officers confidently believe that his decision will be favorable to bringing the prisoner back. James Keep, the man who loaned Freeman the gun with which he killed Westbrook, positively identified the prisoner. D G. Newsom picked him out of 300 other prisoners and positively af- firms he is Freeman. R. A Hurt was not certain but believes be is the right mav. L Hart ie positive in his identification. Mr. Holeomb failed to identify him. Does not believe he is Freeman. Mr. Mudd is in receipt of a de- scription of Tom Spottswood from a Calhoun business agree with his prisoner. Spotswood was 5 feet 74 inches high. Sheriff Mudd says the prisoner is nearer 5 feet 10 inchee. Sheriff Mudd deserves much praise for hie efforts in the matter I+ r-- HEADED FORTHE PENITENTIARY | quired much courage to go into the outlaws country and capture and hold his man. He did not trust to the deputy Marshals to go out into the country and bring in his map, as so many officers from the states do, but insisted on going with the depu- ties. Whether it turns out to be Freeman or not the zeal exhibited by our sheriff and prosecuting attorney is commendable. Rev. Andrew Scott Called to Butler. Higgineville Jeffersonian. Rev. Andrew Scott, of this city, has accepted a call to the pastorate of the Christian church at Butler, Mo., and will preach his farewell sermon here next Sunday. He takes charge of his new church Sept. 1 and will move his family by that time. Rev. Scott has been pastor of our Christian church 14 months and isan exceptionally able man.

Scott success in his new field. Notice to Coal Contractors.
