Charged With Cattle Stealing

Yesterday afternoon Sheriff Randall of
Lyon county and Sheriff Williams of
Churchill county came to this city and
placed Edward McManus under arrest
on charge Of being implicated in steal
ing cattle in Lyon and Churchill counties
They had previously placed Les Doug
las. butcher of Dayton, in Jail at that
place on . charge Of being cattle thief.
From what can be learned of the steal
three months Douglass has been stealing
cattle from ranchers in the two counties
named, and killing them and selling tho
beef at his shop in Dayton. The number
of cattle stolen amounts t. eighteen. The
officers claim to have q sure case against
Douglass, but how deep McManus is inn
plicated they were not prepared to say,
and he may have been innocently drawn
into the trouble by being employed by
Douglass and was, perhaps, unaware Of
the crooked work in which he was en-
gagged.
McManus is confined to his bed by ILL
ness and could not be moved last night,
so two deputy sheriffs have been engaged
to guard him at his house. 1t is sincere
~ hoped by his friends that he will be
able to clear himself of the charge as he
has heretofore borne a good reputation.
Les Douglass, the Dayton butcher,
accused ct catt1e4 stealing, was taken to
Saltwater this afternoon by Sheriff
Williams of Churchill county. He was
