For sometime past cattle from the
Winterfeld neighborhood belonging
to hard working and industrious
colored people have disappeared, and
il seemed almost an impossibility TO
catch up with the person or persons
who were getting away with them.
until few days ago when Steve Pull
lin, one OF our colored butchers hap
pened to spy large, fine COW in the
yard of Brack House, another colored
butcher. Steve sent word to the
owner where be could find his COW,
but before the owner could arrive
Brack had killed it. The hide was
identified, and Brack told where he
had purchased it, which led to the
arrest of j. II. Kelley and Pat Sullivan,
two white men living on the Hagaman
place and not far from Wioterfeld.
They were placed uLder bond of 800
each for their appearance at the next
term of court.
We hope that the authorities will
catch up with the guilty persons, and
that they will receive their just pun
ishment. A COW or horse thief should
be stretched 10 limb and not allowed
to have trial.
