CATTLE THIEVES
ARE SENTENCED At
WfNAlCHff
GANG BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN
IN OPERATION FOR THREE
YEARS OR MORE. GET STIFF
SENTENCES.

The Wenatchee World of Oct. -
says two members of gang of cat
tie thieves that are believed to have
operated in this vicinity for the past
three years have been arrested by the
authorities and one of them, George
F. Jones, was sentenced to from three
to fifteen years in Walla Walla by
Judge Grimshaw Friday morning.
Jones had been operating a slaugh-
ter house in a canyon near the Colum-
bia river on the old John Miller place
for the past year. He and a com
panion were seen driving half dozen
head of cattle towards the corral by
one of the Inland Meat company'S
men Thursday morning. The cattle
bore the Coffin Brothers Brand and
report of the fact was made at once
to w. H. Little, manager of the In
land company. He promptly took the
matter up with the sheriff's office and
raid was made on the Jones slaugh-
ter house by Deputy Sheriff Parker.
Some of the steers had already been
killed, but the hides were recovered
with the brand showing. Jones and
his assistant were arrested and a
charge of grand larceny was lodged
against Jones.
G. w Carroll, who represents Cof-
fir Bros. around Columbia station
came here to investigate and he re-
ports that the company has been los
ing cattle from the ranges in the vi
cinity of Colockum canyon for three
years. Many of them have been
traced for some distance, some have
been recovered but many others were
never found.
Friday morning Jones was arraign-
ed before Judge Grimshaw upon the
charge of having in his possession five
head of stolen cattle. He stated that
he had no money to pay for a lawyer,
that he did not want any lawyer and
that he would plead guilty to the
charge.
When asked if he had anything to
say why sentence should not be pas
sed upon him he stated that he had a
| family that would be left destitute,
and asked if he could have lawyer
appointed to look after his affairs,
He was informed that the duties OF
lawyer appointed by the court to de-
fend him would consist solely Of loo|;-
ing after his interests in the case
pending.
Judge GrimshaY thereupon sent
enced Jones TO serve from three to
fifteen years in the state penitentiary
at Walla Walla
Jones is about 40 years old. and
has been living in this part of the
state for three or four years. He
owns a house on South Wenatchee
avenue just outside the city limits
where his family resides.
There are two or three other mem
bers of the gang who are still a,
large, but the officers have evidence
which will convict them, in theii
/ opinion. More arrests will follow.

Last weeks Cashmere Record has
the following to say of this mystel-
ious case:
Either a deep laid plot TO extcr-
inmate the Hilton NJ Towne family
or hallucination to that effect ex-
lists in the household. They claim
they are beset by some evil omen or
that enemies are trying to wreak
vengeance. and this by trying to suf-
fccate them with some nature of AZ
tificial gas. Their home west cf
Cashmere has been besieeed several
times in the past two weeks by night
providers, who, it is claimed, carry
some form of condensed gas, when
when shot under doors or in kcy-holes
overcomes all the occupants of the
house and leaves them in a suffocatng
and partly paralyzed condition. Liv-
ing with the Townes are their two
little children and Nh and Mrs. A.
D. Henry. all of whom have experi-
enced the same sensation
"Their story and their beliefs have
been substantiated in a degree by SCI
eral overseas men, who when called
upon the premises report that thcy
easily detected gas fumes similar to
the carbonic gas used in warfare.
Town authorities and doctors have
been called several times and the oc-
cupants of the house have been founl
in condition bordering on hysteria,
unable to give any lucid explanation.
Cause or motive for this treachery Is
another mystifying feature of the
case.
