HORSE THIEVES CAUGHT.

Jim Doty halted the flight of two horse thieves at Water Valley Sunday morning. Mr. Doty had received word to look out for them and seeing them pass through ShelbV, mounted his horse and took after him. He overhauled them at the little store at Water Valley, where they had stopped to buy some tobacco. In a few minutes Sheriff Grant and deputy Furman, who were in pursuit, came up and took charge of the prisoners and took them to Crown Point, where they were lodged in jail. The thieves had three horses, two of which were stolen at Chicago Heights and the third from Dyer. Their chances for a home at Michigan City are pretty gocd. They are young, one being about 19 and the other about 23. —Lowell Tribune.
