He had taken a horse to the THOMPSON sale stable, on West Washington street, which was auctioned off for $21, which bid was afterward taken up from the original bidder by MAHLON THOMPSON, who then paid DANIELS $5 to bind the sale. The affair had a suspicious look and when officers arrested DANIELS, who when he reached the station-house, claimed to have been the owner of the horse for six months, and to have purchased it of one JOHN KELLY, a mile east of Greenfield. Officer LAPORT said there was no such person living there. DANIELS then said, if the officers would go with him to Brightwood, he would satisfy them he was all right; but has he ad- mitted having been under arrest recently, the invi- tation was declined. Just then a message came from Brightwood stating that DANIELS had borrowed the horse in the morning of his landlady, MRS. ROBERTS, for a few hours, and that he is owing her seventy- five dollars for board. That settled it, and DANIELS went behind bars. ===========================================================================
