Hopkins, the man who was arrested
and convicted OF stealing three cows from
Purdy Flint, was on Wednesday sentence
ed TO seven years imprisonment in the
penitentiary. Had he pleaded guilty he
would, probably, have gotten off with a
sentence of eighteen months or two
years, but he insisted upon trial against
the advice OF Attorney Miller, and as he
had no defense except a fiat contradiction
of several reputable witnesses it was only
necessary for the jury to take one ballot
before finding him guilty as charged.
Now the report comes from the reserva-
ton and the lower county that farmers
who have lost stock are claiming their
ewn from q band OF cattle and horses
bearing bis brand. Late developments
show that Hopkins went into the stock
appropriating business on a scale that
would.have soon made him a rich man if
misfortune had not marked him for prey.
He was a cattle rustler from wayback
and the only wonder is how he managed
to keep out Of Jail as long as he did.
