this city has already been stolen To steal a dog is not usually considered a henious offense by the thief but it Is being demonstrated that the theft of n dog is becoming about as precarious as to 6teal a horse or other nuimul Some dogs are quite valuable and the recent law making them personal property is serving to protect the owners in a manner In Omaha dog owners have organized a protective league and the courts aro learning that sometimes ftB high as S00 is paid for a dog Before ludgo Gordon recently this league prosecuted three men for dog stealing The worth of the two animals stolen was first placed at 20 each making the offense grand larceny but the value was afterward changed to 10 each and made petit pleaded guilty and wns given a liO days pcntence The two others wero dis charged as It was phown that thoy had no part in tho stealing A ehnrgo of grand larcony for stealing n dog is n rarity but it is posslblo and somo dog thief may yet realizes It whon spending a term
