On July 23 a young man who gave his name as PatterMon hired a horse and ri/ from the Fleshe rton Station livery for a I iy. He did n t return, and it was hortly afterwardn 'earned that he was a regular ho' el dead beat and shark of th worst kind, lie having bent a Duuda'k hotel and al.-o Mr. White at the Station. R. Cook, coui.ly constable, was put on his trail, aud succeeded in running his nan to earth on Monday by judicious advertising. Thu fcllnw was traced to collingwiMid, Nottawa, and back again towards Oweu Sound. On all his route he uiccwwfully beat the hotel keepers out of board for himself aud horse until he arrived at Owen Sou-id. where he put up at the Royal lx.te.1, but bciug without money was unable to get away. He stayed around there for nearly a week attempting, it ap(Mars. to raise the where- withal to release the horse. Oil Monday Mr C'.Hik receised a telephone message fro'ii the Sound statiuu that there was a horse and rig there answering to the de- scription of the one wanted and he took the noon train and foui.d the animal, an stated, at the Royttl hotel. In the moan time the thief had evidently become desperate at l.n delay and stole some coins friii a merchant, who had a warrant UMUed. The thief was arnts'ed ami m now in jail. He gave his name as John- Hton when arrested. Mr. 1'atUnson, alias Johnston, will no doubt find that hi* frolic will cost him a few months of the liberty so dearly loved by a llritish sub- juct.
