Bearded Horse Thief Disappears With Pretty Golden Haired Girl
A dark bearded man and a pretty light haired woman vanished after selling a horse and buggy in Ovett with a $78 price, eluding officers as the case blocks their search. Reports say the man, once a Mississippi state convict praised for bravery, left McLain with the pair and later disappeared, authorities seeking tips from Deputy Sheriff Bontwell and local livery stable staff. The couple were last seen near Ovett, raising a reward for information.
