Two girls about fifteen and sixteen years old, drove into Ann Arbor last Friday and put their horse up at Green's livery stable. On leaving they left the horse blanket as security for the norse feed. They drove ofi in the direction of Detroit, after vainly endeavoring to induce somebody to drive them. After they had been gone four or üve hours, Marshal Sipfley received word from Battle Creek offlcers that two girls, who were employed as dornestics in that city had hired a livery horse for an hours' ride and had ridden away with the horse. A reward of üfty dollars was offered tor their detection. The girls had too big a start and the sheriff and marshal who started in pursuit were unable to overhaul them. They were arrested, when they got in Detroit and placed in the lockup. They lived in Detroit and took the horse for the purpose of getting home.
