 About ten days ago a stranger came to this place and stopped at one of the hotels 
of the town for the night. Next morning he went to the livery stable of Mr. J. C. 
Montgomery and hired a horse, stating at the time that he was going into the 
neighborhood of Spearsville to look up some land and would return the next day. On 
his way to Spearsville the stranger met Mr. J. C. Rockett and requested him to 
informed [sic] Mr. Montgomery that he would not return until the second day. But the 
stranger has not yet returned, neither has the horse nor has the man ever written when 
he will return to this town. Mr. Montgomery fearing that the man had his horse for 
good and for all time employed Mr. Jas. Rabun to go to Spearsville on the hunt for the 
stranger and horse. At that place he was informed that the party passed through 
Spearsville and stated he was going to Junction City, but he did not visit that town, 
neither could Mr. R. ascertain his whereabouts. Mr. Montgomery is now of the opinion 
that he is minus a horse.
