Why shouldn't we as well as others?
We wanted to see what the papers said of us, so we rode over to a little post town we knew of and got a copy of the 'Evening Times'.

There it all was in full:-- CATTLE-LIFTING EXTRAORDINARY.
We have heard from time to time of cattle being stolen in lots of reasonable size, say from ten to one hundred, or even as high as two hundred head at the outside.

But we never expected to have to record the erecting of a substantial stockyard and the carrying off and disposing of a whole herd, estimated at a thousand or eleven hundred head, chiefly the property of one proprietor.

Yet this has been done in New South Wales, and done, we regret to say, cleverly and successfully.

It has just transpired, beyond all possibility of mistake, that Mr.Hood's Outer Back Momberah run has suffered to that extent in the past winter.
The stolen herd was driven to Adelaide, and there sold openly.
