Wholennle rhnft of norn.

+. G. Ostrander was found guilty
OF stealing hogs by jury in the Wyan-
dotte county district court 1t was
proven that Ostrander had been sys-
tematically robbing the hog pens Of
farmers living in Wyandotte and
Leavenworth counties for months, lie
had no accomplices, making wholesale
raids by himself. He stole over 1000
hogs at various times before he was
arrested. He would drive to the hog
pens OF farmers at late hour Of night
and after digging two trenches lead
ing to the fence that held the porkers
prisoners he would back his wagon
into the trenches, thus lowering the
wagon so that the bed rested on the
ground. He would then make an
opening in the fence at the rear of
the wagon, through which he drove
the hogs into his wagon.
