How a Young Wan E:ecapturcd
ssjS 6tastgA

An interesting cattle case has
just been tried IN the T.. S. Court.
a young man named Grey, of Ore
gon, brought suit to recover forty
odd head of stock, which he alleged
had been stolen from him by a
man named Thomas. The defend
ant did not appear in Court.
1t appears that Grey went to
Oregon, where he settled down in
the cattle business, to support bis
aged parents.
While there, his father and
mother died, and the funeral was
hardly over before his cattle were
run off. He at once mounted
horse valued at $3.50, and started
on the trail He traced the cattle
about 500 miles, when his horse
showed signs Of giving ont, and
giving it a few days rest he sold it
for 500, and purchasing a SIS
horse of an Indian, proceeded on
his journey. He stuck right to the |
trail until his horse gave out, and |
leaving it by the roadside walked |
into Reno. Here he learned that
the cattle had beer headed for Ma
son Valley, and proceeding the
rest of the way on the cars found
his cattle and brought suit for
their recovery.
The Court awarded him the cat
lie, and he has thus been able to
'ecover his property after long,
lard chase for them, of over / 100
niles.
