at clare- mont he appealed to the local cop alt pugh who hastily got on the job tracks clearly indicated the animal had been led from tho stable and somehow young ander son was suspected he was more or less familiar with the melton place because his stepfather noble and his mother made their home here last summer the parents it will be recalled created some sen sation when they set out on foot for montreal in the early part of november the son john had found temporary employment with percy brown just north of stouffville and although his time was up mr brown was good enough to allow the boy to make his home there while locating another place con stable pugh lost no time in going to the brown home where he learned that young noble hadrnot been home over thursday night and had not returned up to this time which was then 9 oclock friday morning he was not expect ed home that night however as he had said he was going to toronto in company with other young men from altona to deliver six horses a the glue factory for his services he was to earn 200 the constable made for toronto on learning of this but at the glue factory only two animals had arrived over night neither of them answering the des cription of the stolen melton steed the cop learned from a truck driver that young anderson had stood outside the store at millikens early that morning hence the chase led back into scarboro the sought- for animal was found stabled on the premises of a man named arthur wood who only a few- hours before bought the driver from anderson for 3 this netted the young horse thief only 250 as he had to shell out 5 0 cents commission to one chris lamorux who brought buyer and seller together chris told the police that anderson appealed to him early friday morn ing to buy his horse he was on the way to toronto he said but lather than finish the trip with his tired steed he would accept less than glue factory price anderson was later taken into custody at mr browns when ho first denied all knowledge of mel tons horse later he admitted his guilt before magistrate clark in pickering village on saturday morning he received his sentence the animal is described as being much too valuable to be consigned to the k p s strings etc hence tho owner while temporarily playing into ill luck was fortunate in getting the horse back had tho animal reached the factory it would have been

and thrown under the feet of cattle completely ruined customs men had been at work loss and damage were reported to the icustoms office and all tho night duty men were recalled to headquarters from their homes in the presence of the chief of police the customs department made a thorough investigation to find who was responsible for the damage it was someones duty to search the carloads of sheep
