The case of the Commonwealth versus George Cummins, for horse stealing, tried in our county Court last week, had some very curious features. The facts of the case are about as follows : Mr. Kellerman, of Venango township, this county, had a horse stolen from his premises on the night of the 18th of August last. lie gave a description of it to detectives who found it in the possession of a man named Burkey in Clearfield county, who said he got it from Cummins. The horse was returned to Mr. Keller man and Cummins was arrested. Soon after a man named McElwain, said to be a respected citizen of Clarion coun tv put in an appearance and claimed that he had lost, on the night of the 30th of August, a hoise whose des cription answered exactly to that of the one stolen from Mr. Kellerman. McElwain found the horse in the pos session of Kellerman aud sued out a writ of replevin. Kallcrman gave a property bond and kept the horse. At the trial Cummins' folks swore that he was at home on the night of the 18th of August, bjt was away on the night of the 30th of August, and he himself acknowledged that he had stolen McElwain's horse. McElwain and a crowd of Clarion county men were here at the trial aiding in the defense of Cummins. The jury must have regarded this action of theirs as being suspicious, for thev found Cum mins to be guilty as indicted, and he was sent to the penitentiary. Mc- Quistion and Vanderlin Esq's aided the District Attorney in the prosecu tion. A board of arbitrators next day, awarded the horse to Kellerman. IHMTHS.
