Monticello Express: "a copper col
ored 'coon, who has been hanging
about Monticello since early last spring,
was arrested at Anamosa Friday and
sentenced to thirty days in jail for
stealing a twoyesr-old heifer from
Fritz Huls, of Wayne township. The
colored man drove the heifer from
Huls' pasture last Thursday night to
Anamosa where he attempted to sell to
a butcher. The party with whom he
attempted to effect bargain became
and notified the proper
authorities. The coon was detained
until the matter was Investigated. He
later confessed the crime and plead
guilty to the charge of larceny before
Justice Brown who gave him the SEN
tence noted. The fellow recently
served five months in the penitentiary
at Anamosa for robbery which he
near Manchester.
