Traveling Horse Thieves

Blue Springs, Nebraska, August 15 – Two horses owned by S. M. Blithe were stolen from his barn last night. 

The hounds were brought here early this morning from Beatrice and put on the track, following the trail of thieves, south through Wyoming.

Two men supposed to be the same parties stole a set of harness from the barn of W. H. Salisbury, also a single buggy and harness from the barn of F. E. Freight, both of Wymore.

Early this morning the parties were seen southeast of Wymore driving one horse and leading the other.

A posse is in hot pursuit, armed with Winchesters and revolvers.
