STOLEN CATTLE RECOVERED
Nicholas Tenorio Of La Palma Pur-
sues Thieves With Good Re-
suits, Getting Back Pwen-
Twilight Beeves'

Nicholas TenoriO, ranchman OF
La Palma, about 70 miles east of here
in Guadalupe county, arrived in town
this morning to visit relatives. He re-
ports that on the first day of this year,
he found the tracks of a herd of cattle
and several horses, going south from
Monte Encina near the ranch of Mar
iano Mendonca, believing these were
the tracks of some stolen cattle, and
probably his own, he secured the aid of
three other ranchmen of the vicinity
and armed them well, taking up the
pursuit and following the tracks for
six days through Guadalupe, Valencia
and Socorro counties, until week ago
he overlook the herd about ten miles
east of Socorro. Three mounted men
were driving the cattle, who took to the
hills, as soon as the pursuers approach
ed. The stock proved to be selected
beeves, 2S in number, and the property
of Tenorio. The latter was too well
satisfied with the recovery of his
stock to continue further pursuit of the
cattle thieves, who were no doubt TAX
ing the beeves to Socorro to sell them
to butchers. Mr.. Tenorio says that the
stockmen in his vicinity are losing
much by the operations of cattle and
sheep thieves, and that the situation in
that regard is becoming very bad and
almost intOlerable

P|L|NG UP COAL.
While Chicago is Suffering for Want
Of Coal Many Cars Are Being
Held for Higher Prices.

Chicago, Jan. 12.-The special grand
Jury which has been called to investi-
gate the conditions responsible for the
coal famine continued today to hear
the evidence which the attorney gener-
al and states attorney have secured
against the coal operators and big
dealers. Twenty-Five coal men, some of
the heads of wholesale firms and others
chiefs in the councils of corporations
operating mines, presented themselves
at the criminal court building in an
swer to summonses to tell what they
may know of the ring" which the H.
linois Manufacturers Association
charges is responsible for fuel condi-
tions. 1t is the intention of the grand
jury that none but coal men shall be
examined and under Mr.. Deneen's dir
ection they are being asked to explain
just what are the aims and objects Of
the Illinois Coal Operators Association
and why coal cars stored on railroad
tracks just outside the city limits are
not being ordered into the city and
marketed. It is said the Investigators
have discovered trains of coal cars
sidetracked and placarded with instruc-
tions to freight crews to hold the con-
signments indefinitely and that hun
dreds of tons of coal have been taken
from the cars and heaped up along the
tracks. Attorney General Hamlin de-
clared that the investigation would not
be confined to Chicago, but would
reach out so as to take up the condi-
tions throughout the state.
