THE CATTLE THIEVES.
Another Bunch of Stolen Cattle
 Discovered.

OA0SOSSASNs
 Immediately after the report of the recovery of the stolen cattle near Blue. water, New Mexico, Thomas Tucker, range foreman for the Wabash Cattle company, whose headquarters are To. cated twenty-five miles north of this place, started for New Mexico in the in- terest of his employers. A letter was received from him, the latter part of last week. by St George Creaghe, sher. iff of this county. 1t seems that MT. Tucker has discovered another miscel- laneous lot of cattle belonging to Apa. che county stock men. The letter is ss follows:
 AZTEC, NEW MEXICO, January 24, 1898. St. George Creaghe, St Johns. Arizona.
 DEAR SRI arrived here few days ago, and have found few Apache county cattle here burnt. think, when they are gathered, will be about like the Grants bunch. have seen few "Cross-bar' and Mexican cattle in what have seen. If they want me to handle them. have everybody send me authority. and will do all I can. The weather is awful bad here now.
 Respectfully. T. F. TUCKER.
 The recent publication of MT. Audon Gonzales experiences has been much discussed, and everybody interested in the stock business, and who gre en- gagged in 1t Tn legitimate manner, are loud in their expressions that some means must be taken at once to break up this gang, whose operations have been conducted on so gigantic a scale. The fact that Hardin and Coats have left the country is no guarantee that these operations will cease, as it is ai- most certain that they are not the prin. cipals in these expeditions from oocorro and Valencia counties, New Mexleo.
 If the stock business is to be engaged ID continued by honest men, something must be done, and done at once, to put 6 stop to the operations of this thiev- ing gang. One well-known stockman of this county, who keeps himself we'll posted, informed the writer that the recent article published in this paper, in regard to the operations of this thievIng organization, was altogether too mild that the estimated number of cattle driven of was too small, and that there Is no telling how many have been previously driven off ln the same manner.

Mr.. Moore said that. while he had had
no time to consider the details OF the olii

rate opinion respecting them, he welcom-
ed II is an evidence of the growing inter-
est I'm the subject Of popular nominations

Mr. Moore said he felt sure IL the cues

would carry without difficulty, such is
the strength of the sentiment developed
IN its favor since the agitation was start
cd last summer in the Roanoke conven-
