reaching home that his load was three
short.
Investigation revealed that two
young boys had been seen leading a

According to police, one boy said that
the sheep (thought to be a pet) had
followed him and he didn't want it to
be taken away with the others, so
they tied a rope around its neck and
led it about a quarter, mile down the
railroad siding and* tied it The older
of the boys became frightened and
they sneaked the sheep back into another pen at the yards, despite the*
fact that the younger lad wanted to
take it home with him.
In the meantime the boys had returned to play around the yards and
had let the three calves out of the
pen where they had been placed for
the purchaser and put them into an
outer pen, where, they had not been
noticed by yard employees.
