ture OF j. y. Bell, located between

unable to establish q clue. Each
animal was branded on the hip with
q bar.
1t is said the Mareis des Cygnee

thieves to steal stock and get away
with II, and 1t is q difficult matter
for the officers to run the rogues

seeing that every effort is made to
run down horse and cattle thieves
who may start their operations In
