the commission company had received
them from its agent in Cowley county
Everything was regular, except, ac-
cording to the allegations made to the
district court, the cattle were originally
stolen from Thompson by a man
named Foster. Foster, it is alleged,
drove the cattle off of the Thompson
farm near Winfield and took them to
Hackney. twenty-five miles away.
There they were sold to the agent for
the Kansas City commission house md
shipped. Mr.. Grimes of Shawnee
county. purchased them and shipped
them to his farm. The cattle are .
year-old steers and are worth in the
neighborhood of $4,000. The Winfield
bank to which the draft for the cattle
was sent became suspicious when
Foster disappeared following a jangls
over the draft, and made an investi-
cation with the result that the ALLEGED
theft was discovered.
