Sick Girl Steals a Horse

Mollie Molloy, a 15 year old girl living at South Sioux City was arrested on a charge of horse stealing. In her preliminary hearing the girl showed that she had been ill for some time, and in order to be nursed by her mother appropriated the horse and rode 100 miles to her home at Brunswick, Neb. The trip was made almost without stop, and both the girl and horse were nearly dead on reaching their destination.
