The Chambers Tribune July 30, 1863
On the 20th ult I loaned my horse to one Thomas Thrasher, to carry a runaway 
negro to the jail at Wedowee, and when within about two and half miles, the 
negro complained of illness and prevailed upon said Thrasher to let him ride, 
which he did, having a rope around the negro's neck, by which he hoped would be 
able to hold him, but his hands being loose untied the rope, and put the whip to 
the horse and left. Said negro was of the following description a mulatto man, 
over ordinary side about 25 to 30 years of age. The horse was an iron gray, five 
years old last spring and low in order barefooted all-around, about 12 to 14 
hands high, his main considerably worn from having been fled with a chain for 
about four months. Said horse and some saddle and gear marks about him, had on 
when stolen, a good half-worn quilted seated saddle Spanish tree, A liberal 
reward will be paid in the delivery of said horse at my residence 7 miles North 
of Wedowee Randolph county, Alabama, or any information on whereby I may be 
crabled to recover him.
