Found Missing Horse in Newton Tp.

Someone took Mrs. Drake’s horse from the place where it was hitched on the east side of Front street, near the Rensselaer Garage, Saturday night, and when Mts. Drake and her brother, Morris Maloney, got ready to go home about 10 o’clock, no horse was found. The buggy was iound Sunday morning in the east part of town and the horse was located some five miles northwest of town, near the .farm of John Zimmer, in Newton tp. It is thought that someone had driven the horse about, and finally turned it loose or ridden it over into Newton tp., probably the latter, for had it been tnrned loose in town it would very likely have found its way home.
