Com menting upon the arrest and i'm
prisOnment of the two young Cairo men,
charged with the theft of cows, at Mound
City on Thursday, the Pulaski Patriot says;
During the past few months the people
of this city have been heavy losers by this
spices of robbery. Thirty-seyen cows, the
property of people who live in that portion
Of this city west of Walnut Street, have
disappeared within a few months This
wholesale robbery should be checked, If
not in one way then in another. Cairo,
too, has suffered not little in this way for
several years. The other two Of the three
cows which brought the young men TO
grief, belong to Mr., II. A, Harmon. All
we're returned, AMI fortunately the butcher
who had bought them at Mound City, also
got his money back
