Z Sent to the PEN Moses LaRue was
brought In from Medora yesterday by
Sheriff Reid and States Attorney
Keohane Of Billings county, and taken
before Judge Winchester, where he
pleaded guilty to the unlawful killing
of two beeves belonging to a cattle
man. He was sentenced to two years
and three months in the penitentiary
and began his term yesterday. La
Rue's case has a pathetic side to it
He had small band Of sheep in Bill
lings county and was struggling tx
exc out a living. He had trouble with
cattIenlen over the range and one
night all his sheep were shot and
killed, he claims, by the rattlemen
but Of which he has no proof II
reprisa1 he killed the first cattle that
came his way He was very despond
ent and while here said all he had in
the world had been, destroyed and he
might as well go to the pen as any:
where else. If. his story Isl true, and
1t seems to be, it is another i1lustra;
ton of thoW might makes right" il
this world. Had LaRue been able to
pay detectives and lawyers he doubt
less would have been able to run
down and punish the men who, though
equally guilty as he, are now free.
while he languishes behind the bars
and the range is rid OF him and his
hated sheep. ;55 < =
