ihe larceny of I7fl head of sheep,
which were taken from Ward bro
thers, near Logan valley. Metcaif
was first arrested, hut he made an
effort to saddle the stealing of the
she.p mi Win. Pollard, for whom
he .limine. I he wa working. All
went well until Pollard was arrest
ed Mei. -all hi nnoe saw there was
on show for him to evade punish
ment, especially il" Pollards story
was aceepteil M the truth by the
ollicers He gave n cah bail and
since has made himself scarce.
When the case came up for hear
ing Pollard plead guilty and was
sentenced to two years in the peni
tentiary. While at the stale prison
his conduct was excellent, ami the
credit marks received lessened his
term more than one-fourth, and
early last spring he was given his
liherty.
