~4EEi&F KINNEY TAKES a HAND.
sheriff Kinney had his suspicious
aroused 0y q report that Maher ans,
IcKe02.a had an unusual amount OF
money aad were masking things lively
IL EmDire. He Immediately started
m Investigation, but it was late at
night aui little could be done until the
morning, Next morning he started
She rounds of the butcher shops and
Visited Mr.. Chedic last. He asked if
Chedic had any transaction with Ma
ucr and was informed that he had.
Mr.. Chodic then told of the deal,
Hhereupon the Sheriff told him that
he cattle were stolen and that ar
owner would be found. A hunt was
Instituted for Maher and Mckenzje and
hey we're traced to Virginia City,
here they had made things hum.
The Sheriff then visited the slaugh'
-er hou-e and found five head of catJle
that Nj. Chedic had purchased from
'faher. al With the brand Q. c., thu
property of Cardelli Bros. of Dayton
Wbo owaers were informed by Telegram
md on Of them arrived Friday orn
ing, identifying the property and TAX
hLA GAS CdJUlS away II Nv" WV
Aad Gron killed, but Mr.. Cardol
identity I'd the hides.
The evidence was SO strong tina
Sheriff Kinney has sent word all owe
the country to be on the lookout to
the thieves and they will probably b
landed a short order.
This is probably the head of a gang in;
Aar been operating in this section for
long tin.e, aud it would be q wise pla
for the rattlemsn Of this section to forl
purse by subscription and offer a r
ward for the capture of the pair. If the
are captured they will unwind a stoi
that VII duplicate others.
This . not the FIRST lot Of cattle sold
butchers in this city by this gang as ca
Gle have been sold to the other shops |
them NJ various times. 1t would be
hsrd matter to bring about a case on Il
old 0ffOnses as the hides have been so
and ths only means Of identifcatit
lost.
