Alleged Horse Thief in the Toils About the first of last March Harm Saathoff, a farmer living in Lincoln township, missed a valuable mare and all efforts to locate the animal were in vain. Last week it was learned that the mare was in the possession of a farmer named Busse near Glid den, in Carroll county. Mr. Saathoff made a trip to Carroll county and identified the animal as the one that belonged to him and the necessary legal steps were taken to get posses sion of the same. Mr. Busse claimed that he purchased the mare from a young fellow by the name of Henry Theesfeld, who has been making his home with a brother not far from the Saatholf farm. Information was sworn out and the papers given to Sheriff Kelleher who brought the young fellow to this place and lodged him in jail. Theesfeld was given a preliminary hearing before Justice Terry, Saturday morning, who after hearing the evidence of the witnesses bound him over to the grand jury and placed him under bonds of $500. Not being able to give the required bond the young man, who is only twenty one years of age, will have to remain in jail until the October term of the district court.—Pocahontas Record,
