DECLARES he
WILL Be HONEST
NOTED CATTLE RUSTLER
BECOMES HONEST

Kid Trailor, once, notorious as a
horse. thief, and who probably was the
most feared cattle rustler of the
boundary district, has reformed.
Recently arrested by North Da-
'kota Tancher and charged with an at
tempt to rustles horses, Trailor has
just been successful IN convincing Of
F,ficiais that he has9departed from the
old life andgis now trying to earn an
honest living. rs; ~
Instead of rustling horses Trailor is
in the employ of a rancher as fore
man, and as foreman he is in charge
of several hundred head of horses.
For his crimes in the early period
of the northwest's development,
Trailor has served time in both Can
adian and American penitentiaries.
He was only recently released from a
Canadian penitentiary and was ar
rested when several head of horses
were run off ranch near the western
border of this state. In court Trailor
proved that he had permission to take
the animals and the action against him
was dismissed.
During the time several weeks ago
that a sheriff's posse secured the
country for him, Trailor was innocent
ly pursuing the duties Of his new oc-
cupation, unaware that he was sus-
pected of new thefts.

tween q band of the Industrial Work
ers of the World and the city police,
which started at the corner OF Main

aroused considerable interest among
