Frank Marshall, charged with horse steal
ing, had a narrow escape from a term in
Deer Lodge. His attorneys raised the point

kind of a horse stolen, as required by law,
and quoted decisions to sustain their OBJ
lection. The horse in this case was what is
known as "a ridgeliDg, and not being stated
as such, the court sustained the point made
by the defense and the prisoner was re-
leased. This is unfortunate, even if good
law, as Marshall has cost the county nearly
a thousand dollars.
