arrested in Billings, Mont, charged
with stealing the Sutton horse, plead
guilty and Judge c. G. Lee sentenced
him TO serve a term of i've years i'm
pr:sonmenr. County Attorney Frank

taken into court and plead guilty be-
fore Judge Lee.
The next prisoner to come up for
trial was Frank Woods, who forged the
name Of French Luther TO a checl. and
tried to pass it off on GAMER Bros. &
Herman short time ago. He told Hol
