There was a time in Montana when the
taking of a horse from it's awful owner
was considered rather a grave offense-a
hanging one, in fact, but now it is differ

practical use in only one industry, the
production of canned beef" At present
petit larceny is about as far as the law
Will allow a man to go in making a horse
stealing charge. Last evening Mrs. Haw-
kins, residing near Burlington, complain
ed to the county attorney that she had
bought a horse from Frank Jessrang a
few days ago and it had been replevined
by Thomas Lavell. the real owner. A
warrant accusing Jessrang of petit lar
ceny was issued and placed in the hands
Of an officer. 1t seems that Jessrang had
| worked for Lavell and, needing some
| money, had taken the horse from a pas
ture in which Lavell kept his horses when
resting them up and sold it to Mrs. Haw-
kins for $40. 1t was through the replevin
proceedings that Mrs. Hawkins first
learned of the manner in which Jessrang
had procured the animal.
