HORSE THIEF ARRESTED

A woman horse thief was arrested in Maquoketa the other day, who registered at the hotel as Mrs. Johnson, from Freeport. The team of horses she had in her possession were from Wyoming, Jones County. She was arrested, taken back to the latter place and placed in the “cooler,” where she will remain until legal action is pronounced upon her case. Very likely she is another candidate for Anamosa.
