TIMES WIRE REPORTS

A Wolf Point man was convicted of stealing 39 head of cattle in what appears to be the state’s biggest cattle-rustling case in decades.

Richard D. Holen was convicted of eight counts of felony theft -- one for each neighboring rancher he was accused of stealing from. Roosevelt County Atty. Ryan Rusche, who prosecuted the case, said it appeared to be the first large case of rustling in Montana since the early 1900s.
