A Horse Scrape.
Late yesterday afternoon Mr. Leon Ullman ordered a horse from the livery stable to take a ride down to Oxford. The animal was hitched to the same post the horse of J.W. Harris was standing tied, and Mr. Ullman made the mistake of riding off on that gentleman’s horse.
In the mean time Mr. Harris had half of the police in the city looking for the horse-thief, while Mr. Ullman was congratulating himself upon having secured such a good riding animal. His feelings can better be imagined than felt when an officer tapped him on the shoulder and informed him that he was under arrest for horse stealing. The matter was explained and a good laugh was had at his expence. He brags on the many different gaits of Mr. Harris’ horse.
