Gregory, the chronic horsethief who was

after getting out of prison and stole a
valuable team of horses. He was traced
to Council Bluffs and arrested at the
home OF a relative and taken back to
the scene Of his last theft. He refused
the aid OF an attorney appointed by the

defense was an insane TRADE against tho
officers who had so frequently arrested
him. He was found guilty and sen
