OZANE MATTE & DAVID BREWER ARRESTED AT MERMENTAU
Crowley Signal November 1, 1902

They were arrested Sunday, and brought to this city charged with horse 
stealing.  The arrest was made under an indictment by the grand jury and the 
name of the informant is not known.  The accused claim they did not steal the 
horse, but that it was a stray animal which was taken up by them, duly 
advertised and sold by the Justice of the Peace, and that they became the 
purchasers.  A peculiar feature of the case is that the accused never learned 
who informed against them.
