Nearly week previous to this time
two strangers came into Grants Pass
driving two COWS and iour-months-old

the bovines and placed them in his cor
raj to fstten. He did not know that the
cattle had been stolen till Thursday
when Mr.. Pence came in and recognized
them as his missing stock. 1t dawned
upon w. l. Sweetland at once that he
had been made the game OF willy

ting on their trail. There were two OF
them, though only one showed himself
much. He was small, dark Completed
man and rode gray horse. They are
known to be making their way north
and as their trail is being closely fol-
lowed 1t is not likely that they will
escape their pursurers.
