Homeless horse found near Adrian
Have You Lost a Horse? We’ve Got a Little Cowboy Mystery on Our Hands
This little gelding has apparently been living his best life out east of Adrian! The Sheriff’s Office has received several calls over the past couple of days about this elusive equine, and we’re happy to report that someone finally managed to catch him. We’re giving that person a tip of our hat, that’s a real cowboy in our book!
Now that this four-legged wanderer has been rounded up, we’d love to get him back home where he belongs. If this handsome fella belongs to you, or you know who his owner might be, please contact the Sheriff’s Office so we can get him safely reunited with his people.
Let’s get this cowboy back to the right corral!

Movin' on up
IDEAL WEATHER is making for fast work of Butler's Ohio Street Methodist Church roofing project this week. Much discussion was devoted to exactly how to finish this pinnacle and the obvious answer came this morning as a crane was brought in to simplify the task.
Overall, it appears the project will be completed in short order.
