WOMAN CATTLE THIEF ------In the case of the State of Nevada vs. Florence Wise, four Indictments having been found against the defendant by the grand Jury, viz: two for grand larceny and two for mismarking and defacing marks and brands, she was brought before the Court, to plead to the indictments.  The defendant stated to the Court that she had no money or property with which to employ an attorney defend her, and waiving the appearance of an attorney at this time, the defendant entered a plea of not guilty to each indictment. Whereupon the Court appointed C. E. Mack to defend the defendant on each indictment.-Lyon County Times. Morning Appeal December 12, 1905
