LOOK FOR HORSE THIEVES

Man and Woman Fool Marshal at West Baden. Bloomington, Ind., Sept 29. The country for miles around Paoli is on the lookout for two horse thieves, a man and a woman, supposed to be from Kentucky. The chase resulted in the recovery of two stolen horses and a considerable, amount of clothing, but the thieves escaped The two drove up the road from New Albany to Paoli, entering every house where there was an opportunity. At West Baden they were captured by the town marshal, but when the marshal was off his guard for a Clement and looked around again, he faced the muzzle of a repeating rifle leveled at him by the woman. The marshal was compelled to turn over his own weapons and the man and woman obtained horses from a nearby stable and escaped at a gallop. The man and woman are thought to be making their way south and the authorities over the entire southern part of the state have been notified.
