Old News From Anson County 1817
April 18, 1817, STAR (Raleigh, N.C.)
-One Hundred Dollars Reward.  STOLEN or strayed from the Subscriber at 
Wadesborough on the 24th inst., a handsome Dark Gray Gelding in good order, 
size years old this Spring, his height not exactly known, but believed to be 
fifteen hands and a half or upwards, not being castrated until nearly 4 years 
old, has the appearance  of a Stud-Horse, he carries his head well, his neck 
tolerably large, his body very round, his breast and arms large, with very 
good limbs, is sway backed, and has a tolerably short rump, a little drooped, 
which is the principal defect in his figure, his face is white, also one hind 
foot and pastern, and has some white on one of his pasterns, is a tolerable 
trotter, but was taught to rack, and afterwards caused to quit it, his mane 
and tail were long, but if he is stolen the thief probably has trimmed them 
short.  A reward of ten dollars, and all reasonable expences will be paid on 
delivery of the horse to me in Wadesborough, or such information being given 
as will enable me to get him, or if stolen, one hundred dollars for the horse 
and conviction of the 'thief'.
Wadesborough, Anson County, March 31, 1817.      JOHN M. ELDER
