Reports from the country south were
received here early in the week to the
effects that several stray horses had been
m~aliciously shot in Hettinger county
recently and nj D. j.. Kelley, who was
charged with the killing, wal given q
hearing before Judge Lee at Mott. On
complaint of Frank Hobauf, who had
n horse killed and another woundeds
Kelly was arrested by Sheriff Barry and
brought into court. The evidence in the
testimony was purely circumstantial as
none of the witnesses testified as to the
shooting of the animals and the case
was dismissed. The ranchers and farm
ers are thoroughly aroused over the affair
and the matter is not settled. A man
who would shoot down q dumb animal
that happened to wander across his farm
is certainly capable of a more atrocious
crime and should not be allowed to 60
at random in any law-abiding COM
munity. Those living in the neighbor-
hood where the shooting was done will
see to it that the guilty party is brought
to justice. "a
