Fred Smith, Theodore Roberts
and Arthur Ronerts are being held
at jamestown for taking up estrays
working them, and failing to adj
vertise them. They also tried to
erase the brands it is claimed.
This is a serious charge, and just
what will be done with them is a
question. The law provides that
they shall be advertised even if
one "is sure that the owners are
Russians and cannot read the pa
pers," as one man recently claimed
when a stray colt followed (?) his
herd of horses. Had this fellow
had a man to deal with who would
have had him punished, the man
who owned the colt would not have
had to pay the fellow So for his
trouble. Matters would haXe been
directly reversed. so if you have
any estrays, to save yourself trouble
you had better advertise them in
side of ten days.
