Cruces. He recovered 25 head more

The report Is that large number OF
horses have been ruthlessly slaughter
ed recently on the plains below Lake
Valley, and the suspicion prevails that
it has been done by certain cattle own
ers to preserve the grass for their
horned herds. The matter will no
doubt be brought before the grand
jury.-HillsborO Advocate.
Our Pesrce cores pendent reports
case of cattle killing near that place.
From another informant we learn that
Mr.. Daniels, foreman Of the Chirica-
hua Cattle Co., accompanied Constable
Mr.. Daniels thinks that the driver of
the wood team, after killing the calf
or yearling, was alarmed by the pass
ing of the picnic party, so he cut off
the animals ears and cut out the
brand, then abandoned his team and
fed the country Range News.
The cattle shipping season will COM
mence in a couple of months from now.
A large area of large country, sustain
ing thousands of head of range cattle,
is geographically tributary to Stafford.
If more convenient arrangements for
the shipment of cattle could be made,
we believe that much large per-
centaee of this desirable trade could
be drawn here. The present stock
pens are so small that trsinloads can
not ibe shipped either with speed or
economy, and the shippers will go to
other towns If they are not offered
better inducements. Guar

F. G. Rhes, live stock agent of the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas, says that so
far as he could ascertain the recent
blizzard caused the greatest mortality
among the cattle in the coast counties. |
In the counties about San Antonio he |
did not think the mortality had been |
great, because cattle were being fed. |
The grass was short last fall and it |
was necessary to feed the cattle, and |
this has been kept up. In the counties |
west of San Antonio and beyond he |
thought the mortality was also very
light, as the grass was good and the
cattle generally in good condition.
In the counties of south Texas. land |
of southwest Texas was where he
though the greatest mortality was
brought about among cattle by the re-
cent ard.--Dallas News.
