On roiuhiy last, thrV'" sih-u driving a. band of hoi'T Jllltl mules up W'ebcr CaiVai, and as llu j' had neither blankct.s nor provisions with them, it was siispectel that the animals had been stolen. It was known by the gentleman who saw (he band that a number of head uf horses and mules had been driven from (he Weber ranye within a few days, and it was supposed these were the ones.
