. Two weeks ago, a saddle
which was stolen last week, for
a short time, while Raymond
was in town. Later, starting
home he discovered that the
saddle had disappeared with
no trace of the thief. Every
effort to run down the robber
was futile and hope had been
abandoned of recovering the
lost saddle. Saturday the saddle
was returned. By whom is still
the question, as it reappeared as
mysteriously as it disappeared
and the boys are beginning to
wonder if it_has been in the
car all the time. This is not,
however, reasonable as it could
scarcely have fitted in the tool
box, that being the only place
not searched when the car was
recovered after its theft and
recovery in Casper.
