Lyon County Arrests Threatened by Bold Thieves
Deputy Bancroft of Emporia handled arrest papers after Arnold was seized in town and led to recovered cattle on the Wakarusa with an alleged helper. Arnold, a Lyon County native and likely repeat offender, faces trial in Lyon County this week as authorities vow stronger action against rising robberies. The paper condemns the thieving, urging hanging for those connected to the crimes to deter further outrages.
