In some instances, in-stances, it may be assumed that the pelts were not stolen, but in reality, such is the case. Instance.-, were given where ailing sheep were left and when the ovners , . came back, the animals were found pelted. Pelts from dead animals belong to the sheep ovners, ovn-ers, just as much as does the live animals. Depredations have even , occured among flocks of live ani- ' m.-ils; sheep have been killed and - i ! pelted. j The sheepmen of the county want it known that they are going ,, I to take reprisals if the depreda-I depreda-I . lions are continued. These repris- ; als will consist of full prosecution to the limit of the law. |
