Confessed to Horse Stealing in County Hearings
Sheriff McDaniel and County Attorney Devoe report two men, Geo. King and Raymond Johnson, have confessed to horse theft at a preliminary hearing before County Judge Gapen. They await sentence after District Judge Grimes returns. Wm Neslund pleaded not guilty, provided a $1,000 bond, and a third man may face charges. The stolen horses owned by Jacob Eckert were recovered near Ickes and later moved to King’s livery barn in Sidney. Neslund, son of the late Peter Neslund, is accused of involvement, with Johnson and King having ties to Neslund's ranch and barns managed by King last October.
