Description
Thomas O’Flaherty, a citizen of Oxon Hill, Prince George’s county, Md., has reported to the county authorities and the police of the District that a valuanle horse was stolen from his stable Friday night or early Saturday morning last. Mr. O’Flaherty did not discover his loss until late Saturday. The owner is at a loss to account for the quiet manner in which the theft was effected, as no noise aroused the occupants of the house during the time it is supposed to have been committed.
