the horses, they proceeded direotly to Bas-

on the way, unable to travel further at their
desired speed,) where they sold one, these
tbieo then going on to Austin. At that
place they swapped off one horse, sold ano-
ther, and returned to Webborville, where
they were arrested. They said their object
was to come to this place, aud steal another
lot of horses, and go East with them to mar-
