rested this morning on the charge of stealing wheat from the
ranch of B. F. McElroy, on the reservation. He is on trial
this afternoon.

out a warrant for him and he was re-arrested, Mclilioy
claimed the grain had been taken from his place and that there
were more people who had lost wheat in tho same way, '
