Convicted of Sheep Stealing A case of more than usual interest was heard in the Milverton police court before P. M. Trim on Thursday morning of last week, when a mar- ried man and two youths, all belong- ing to Milverton, were arrainged be- fore his worship charged with steal- ing sheep from Mr. J. G. Hamilton, They pleaded guilty and were sent up to the county court for trial, Several weeks ago Mr. Hamilton missed from his fields a valuable breeding ewe and a ram lamb, weigh- ing 180 pounds. He immediately placed an advertisement in The Mil- verton Sun describing the markings of the sheep and about the beginning of last week he secured information to the effect that a hotel keeper at St. Clements had purchased a pair of sheep tallying with his description and that he had disposed of them to a nearby farmer, who in turn sold one of them to a Linwood drover. Mr. Hamilton at once visited the far- mer's place and was able to pick out his ewe and was informed by the farmer that that was one of the sheep he purchased. He then got in- to communication 'by telephone with the hotel keeper, who was in Kitchen- er at the time, and was informed by him of the indentity of the party who had delivered the sheep to him. The accused man admitted the theft and incriminated the two youths where- upon Chief Hartmier swore out a warrant against them and was as- sisted in making the arrests by Mr. H. C. Hasenpflug. At the close of the preliminary trial they were taken metic, geography, spelling, reading, | and writing.
