Ponies roamed the streets of Marion from Friday until Sunday when they were caught by Mrs. Jack Richmond who tied them up at her home, 1414 East Denver. The ponies had visited banks, mercantile houses and restaurants (outside) in downtown Marion but scampered up alleys or streets before lawmen arrived in each instance.
