Step the Horse Thieves !
ON the 7th of October 1812, 1 fellin company with four
men who said they were from the Straits below New
born, and Were bound for Tennessee. 1 snapped horses
with one of the company who said his name was William
King ; since which the horse has been proven from me by a
Mr. Lyon, stating that the one in my possession had been
stjlen from him.
Description of the Thieves.
Three were white,, and one mulatto two of Uie whitO
mm were small the other large : lie one I traded with I
am told has a scar across the back part of his hand he had
on a coarse broad cloth coat with short skirts but proba
bly had more clothing The latgest man had the only pair
of Saddle Bags in company the others had linen Wallets,
filled with clothes.
The horse that I let Mr King have (if that be his name)
is branded on every quarter' oftbe riirht buttock on Uie tun
with O, and has a large flat wart under his throat. Mr.
Lyon informed me that another of the company had stolen
a horse. It is hoped these men will be apprehended.
