Rig belonging to chase dow taken from Huron St. 

By Tipsey Young Men -- Later was found hitched on State Street

Saturday evening a horse and buggy belong to Chase Dow, who resides west of the city on Miller avenue, was taken from where it was hitched on east Huron street, near Main, and two hours later was found on south State street. It was about eight o'clock when Mr. Dow discovered his loss and he at once notified the officers. They found that several parties had seen two young men take the rig but did not recognize them and thought nothing of it as they did not know the owner. After considerable skirmishing Officer Ball found the rig hitched near Jolly's on State street, about 10 o'clock, but as there were few on the street at that hour, no one had seen the animal hitched there. 

It is supposed that the young men drove the rig away was a drunken lark.
