The Daily Reporter Montgomery County Sunday March 17, 1895 March 17, 1895
Still On The Trail.
Sheriff Moses and Jake Moore off to Illinois to Get a Horse Thief.

Sheriff MOSES and Jacob MOORE left yesterday morning for Springfield, Ill., with
the hope of bringing back with them the thief who stole Mr. Moore's team and
buggy last summer and ran it off to Lawrence county, Mo., where the rig was
recovered after a great deal of trouble, during which Sheriff Moses was
arreseted by the Lawrence couty officials for interfering with the business of
the Lawrence county horse stealing ring. The expense of recovery was about as
much as the horses and buggy were worth, and the thief made his escape.
Mr. Moore was more than willing however, to spend more month to catch the fellow
and a sharp look-out has been kept up for him. The sheriff thinks that he has
him located at a point in Illinois, and after procuring the necessary papers at
Springfield, he and Mr. Moore will go and take a look at the fellow whose
description they have, and if Mr. Moore identifies him he will be brought back
here for trial.
