FORMER CITIZEN COMES TO GRIEF - Montana Justice Overtakes
Man Who Misappropriated Neighbor's Cattle
FIFTEEN YEARS IN PENITENTIARY - Record In These Parts Was Not
Above Suspicion and Present Trouble No Surprise
Many residents of this vicinity will remember Frank Sutherland,
who removed to Montana three years ago and who was prior to that
time associated with Art Stebbins in the stock business in
Baldwin. Sutherland was involved while in this neighborhood in
one or more transactions which reflected seriously on his
personal integrity and he left here somewhat under a cloud.
Recently word has come to Lost Nation that Sutherland is in
trouble of a very serious character. According to newspaper
clippings he was detected in the crime of stealing cattle, tried,
convicted and sentenced to the Montana penitentiary for a term of
fifteen years. Just prior to departing for Montana, Sutherland
was under suspicion of having guilty knowledge of the
disappearance of ten head of cattle from a herd of one hundred,
belonging to Mr. Stebbins and that these suspicions were
justified is pretty well established by his recent escapade in
the west. Fifteen years in the penitentiary seems like rather
severe punishment for the crime alleged to have been committed,
but in the far west where cattle raising is the dominant
industry, manslaughter is a petty offense compared to cattle
rustling.
