Cattle Thief Sent Up.
Greeley, Colo., May 24.—The cattle
stealing case in which the Colorado
Cattle Growers association prosecuted
Clarence and Fred Ireland, resulted in
a victory for the association. Clarence
Ireland was convic ed and sentenced
to the penitentiary at Canon, for 18.
months. Fred skipped his bonds and
will receive a much i-everer sentence if
located and arrested. This winds up
one of the most sensational cattle steal-
ing cases that has ever been brought
to the attention of the public. The
Irelands have been brought to trial a
number of times, but showing some
flimsy pretext have heretefore evaded
the law. Their horse stealing episode
of a few months ago is still fresh in
the public’s memory. The conviction
reflects great credit upon the Colorado
association. The cattle stolen by the
Irelands in. this instance belonged to
Dave Ewing of Fort Lupton.
