Republican,: Upwards of two hundred horses have been stolen from Maricopa county the past two years, not one of which was report ed to the authorities. The owners thinking it was the easiest way of getting rid of the animals. This reminds us of a gentleman who re- sides in the Capitol addition, who offered q tramp $2.50 if he would steal his Belgian hares. The tramp thought there was some trick in the thing and failed to show up, and the hares are still boarding at the old stand.

 Republican: Two special train loads of stock for California will be sent out today via the M. x P. rail- road. They will take five carloads of cattle and thirty-five carloads or about 5000 head of sheep. The sheep will be placed on pasture and marketed as desirable.
 Stockman: Dr. J. C. Norton left this week for Cochise county to look over the situation at points along the line. Last weeks trip was to Arizola, where he went to investigate conditions in the load ing pens there, having learned that some ticky cattle had been unload ed there.
 Citizen: Francisco Rodriguez, who is charged with stealing four head of cattle from the Pusch x Zellweger ranch at Arivaca, and putting his own brand on them, twill be given preliminary hearing on felony charge in Judge Meyers court next Friday The witnesses have been summoned from Arivaca for that day.
 Stockman Some of the cattle feeders of the valley had contem- plated moving part of their cattle to California pastures, because of the dry weather. It is probable that the late rains will at least de- fer such removal, if not make it entirely unnecessary Mir Woolf Sachs, of Tempe, one of the heaviest feeders in the valley, was one who had made such arrangements.
 Stockman: Ex-Supervisor H, c. Day of Graham county, who for many years has ranged cattle around Duncan, that county, is moving his cattle across the line into New Mexico. The board of supervisors placed a valuation on his cattle considerably above what he considered to be just, and to escape unjust taxation he leaves the territory with his cattle. This is not the first instance of cattle men being obliged to leave that county because of such action on the part of the board.

It is expected that the double circle and the c c c outfits will use the new yards in shipping this spring. There seems to be a possibility that the c c c outfit may give mp their lease of land in the reservation, and if they do they will be compelled to move their cattle out of the country.

relief, in hopes that the growth of the
moss may be retarded, If not entirely
