Louis Captain Of Neche came in We'd
nesday-to advertise for stray pony
which he had lost-but while he takes
the PIONEER EXPRESS he didn't read it,
that is he didn't read all of it-for he
didn't see that similar pony had been
advertised as picked up last week. The
moral is-that it not only pays to adver-
tise, but it pays to read the P. E. ads
and all. There's another moral-if we
hadn't told Louis of the advertisement
we would have been dollar or so
ahead, and rs tits, we are honest and that's
moral-and no dollar. However if YOU
lose a horse or COW, the PIONEER Ex-
PRRss office is good place to find it
or rather, to find out about it. On the
other hand if you pick up an estray. you
should advertise it at once. If you don't
you cannot collect for expenses, and you
are liable to be held for appropriating
that which is not yours. The law is very
strict in estray matters.
The parties that took the hay from ].
S. Ireland near town December 3rd were
arrested on Saturday by Deputy Sheriff
Walters. They are Mike Wagner Jr. and
Charles Desjardine, two young fellows
from this city who were employed by w.
j.. Kneeshaw to care for his stock, and
whose team they surruptitiously used to
draw the hay. They took the hay in the
night. went about four miles from Neche,
unloaded it and then went to town and
sold it to George Greenwood the livery
man for 81. but required Greenwood to
go and get the hay. The price and the
fact that the parties would not deliver
the hay themselves made Mr.. G.. sus-
picious and when Sheriff Walters en-
quired of him told the circumstances and
described the men so exactly that Mr..
Walters, who had other proof pointing
to these men, Immediately arrested them.
They were tried before Justice Aylen on
| Monday and as thew MEAD p,ii1tv and
