Cattle Rustling Alarm Widespread In Kansas
Kansas news reports a spike in cattle thefts with 250 to 300 head stolen in northeast Kansas since August. A $2,500 reward is offered, 13 counties affected, and the largest loss noted at 159 head in Ottawa County. An arrest connects to thefts from Holton and Emmett auctions, with a suspect held on $20,000 bond. Officials urge branding, head counts, prompt reporting, and consider inspections at sales, though industry groups oppose mandatory checks.

Kansas to rule on two women marrying in state law
In Topeka an AG official said a formal ruling on issuing a marriage license to two women in Kansas would come soon. The 1980 law defines marriage as a civil contract between two parties who are opposite sex, while past opinions said same sex marriage is not allowed. A Douglas County case sought clarity as two unidentified women applied in Lawrence, with a judge delaying action pending the AG’s opinion.
