Sold The Rig In Miian
A dispatch from Belleville tells of the arrest of an Ohio horse thief at that place, who disposed of the stolen property in Milan. John Lane, aged 18, of Lorain, O., was arrested in Belleville last evening by Constable Coleman on the charge of stealing a horse and buggy at North Adamsherst, O. Coleman, it appears, drove the rig to Milan, where it was sold. Then he went to Belleville where he was staying with his uncle when arrested. He says he will go back to Ohio in the morning with the officers without requisition papers. A reward of $100 was offered by the owner of the rig for the arrest of the thief and its return. Constable Coleman went to Milan last evening to look up the rig. Lane has been in trouble before. About a year ago he was convicted of stealing a sum of money from a Belleville citizen and served a term in the Detroit of house correction.
