GOT THE TEAM BACK ANYWAY.

John Beezey of Monon came to Mt. Ayr last Friday and hired a team of James Dunlap, the liveryman, to go to the Halstead farm, paying in advance of the use of the team. On returning he wanted to hire the team to go to Rensselaer, and being somewhat suspicious of him the barn attendant offered to drive him over. On the way they met Mr. Dunlap and the attendant returned with him to Mt. Ayr. -"Beezey not returning, Dunlap went in search of him, and found him in Rensselaer. This allayed his suspicions and he went home. Beezey did not show up, and Dunlap went in search of him the second time. Finding he had gone in the direction of Pleasant Ridge Dunlap started east. He soon found the buggy, the team and tongue were gone. These were recovered two miles north of Pleasant Ridge. ; *
