Horse Thieves
Summary
A group of 7 or more Rebel horse thieves was discovered in the Catoctin Mountain about 10 miles from Frederick. They had a number of stolen horses. Local men armed themselves and confronted the thieves. Four were captured, some of them injured, but none of the local men were hurt. The thieves were from Baltimore and apparently going to join the Rebels. Some of the stolen horses were identified and the owners probably have reclaimed them. The captured thieves were taken to Frederick and jailed awaiting a Grand Jury hearing.
