Cow Stolen From Public
Range Near Hackley

D. Magee living near Hackley,
was arrested and lodged in Jail
here Monday night charged
with having stolen a COW be-
longing to Marcus Magee, and
selling the meat to the market
at Bogalusa. Suspicion was
first directed to D. Magee by
his having made inquiries as to
the owner of this particular fat
COW, and it was known that she
had strayed from the public
range and slept one or two
nights near Magee's house. A
IS year.old boy of Magee's first
owned up to the whole story,
telling how his father and older
sister had butchered the COW
right near their barn, burning
the head, feet and hide, and
burying the parts not wholly
destroyed. After digging up
these parts and confronting Ma
gee with The evidence, it is said
that he confessed to the whole
plot, tho he had vigorously de-
MED it at first. He also offered
to pay the full cost of the COW,
but he is in the hands of the
authorities now awaiting the ac'
ton of the Grand Jury.
