Interesting Cow Case in Lincoln County Replevin Hearing
A cattle dispute from Big Piney involves J D O Neil filing replevin for a cow held by Fred Reardon. Judge Durnford held Reardon in contempt for not seating, then venue moved to Judge Holden at Fontenelle. Bonds for Hearron were set, refused, and he was jailed. The case centers on ownership of a cow turned out to pasture and later in Reardon's pasture, with ongoing questions about branding and cattle laws. The event highlights tensions among local cattlemen and potential escalation if unresolved.
