ARRESTED CATTLE THIEF

Wess Hironymous was arrested
Yesterday and placed in the county
Jail at Yerington on a charge of
cattle stealing. The complaint was
made by +. o. Stickncy, who owned
three of the four cows Hirorymous
sold to H. j. Long Of Mason. "A.
Strosnider owned the other animal.
The COWS were evidently taken
from above the S,rosnider ranch
near Y~erIngton. Hironymous tried
to sell the cattle to the freeman
Bros, butchers of this place but
they refused to buy them. ThLrs-
day Hironymous went to Mason
and sold the animals to II. J. Long,
who gave him Il check for $50 and
trade balance at the store for the
balance Of the price of the cattle.
When arrested Hironymous had 500
ON his person. 1t is supposed that
he divided the $500 with an accom-
plice. He claims to have a bill OF
sale of the cattle, but who from is
not stated. Several cattle have
been stolen from different persons
in the past four months and the
Cattlemans' Association is going to
look into this case thoroughly. 1t
is reported that others have been
picking up cattle here and there
that did nc; belong to them and
more arrests are liable to follow

She lays a gOod deal of stress on
the need of the working woman
for the protection the ballot gives
to labor. On this point she says:
The working woman needs the

are made without the woman's

carries with it responsibilities. We
