Arizona silver belt., 1897-06-03

The Southwestern Stockman of May 2S devotes more than one-half of its editorial page to reply to our strict ures on the new live stock law, or rather to an attempt to controvert one statement made by the SILVER BELT, namely, that cattle stealing case had arisen in Grahsm county, an indus trious citizen of Arizona having ac- quired herd of HOO head of cattle by adopting the brand of 8 New Mexico outfit whose cattle range over the boundary line of the two territories. Our statement was made on the authority of Judge E. J. Edwards, and we have letter before us from Messrs. Moorman S Mcfarland, attorneys, of Solomonville, confirming Judge Ed wards statement in so far as the cattle jumping having actually occurred. Some of the cattle in question were taken to Solomonville and sold and the vendor exhibited his certificate of registration signed by the secretary of the sanitary board. The brand was the same as rnn by MT. Burdick, of Deming. N NJ, whose agent laid claim so the cattle sold at Solomonville under that brand and threatened to bring suit to replevin them. The person who ssld the cnttle applied to Judge Edwards and to Messrr. Moorman & Mcfarland to defend the threatened suit, but it appeared to be go srsns- parent a case of theft that they refused to have anything to do with it. Mir.
 Burdick has in the meantime, we understand, sold out, and whether or not the suit will be prosecuted we know not, but Mir. Burdick informed Sheriff Birch6eld, when in DemiDg, that he proposed to investigate the matter.
