newspaper did not amount to a d unless it could precip

The Baker City Herald tells a queer
story of the modus operandi of a horse

a bunch of cheap cay uses, and when he
captures a valuable animal he kills one
of his cheap horses, cuts out a piece of
his skin bearing the brand, also removes
a like piece from the stolen horse, graftn
the other patch of skin in its place and
