A group of unknown thieves wearing cowboy boots stole 49 two year old ewes from George Summy’s Blanco County ranch about four miles southeast of Johnson City last week. Tracks near a fence indicate a truck used to load the sheep, with loss estimated at 500 dollars. The theft was first noticed Monday when Summy and his two sons began rounding up. The culprits left the county likely by truck. Hobbs and Seiler wed in Fredericksburg last Monday with ties to Johnson City and Blanco.
