Rustlers Slaughter Beef

The existence of an illicit slaugh- ter business was discovered by County Ranger O. J. Thompson on the San Pedro river. Two arrests were made. The headquarters of the San Pedro band was a little shack located in a secluded spot covered by brush and shrubbery. The one trail by which the shack is reached is so dim one might cross and recross it without observing any trail at all. Near this isolated cabin the cattle were butchered, the meat cured and distributed and pelts buried.
 Much of the meat was made into jerky. A jerky line fifty feet in length was seized. Eight hides were also dug up on the premises, three of which were in good enough state of preservation to show the brands, plainly. The indications are that the rustlers have been op- erating a year or over at their San Pedro shack. So far as known, they were not engaged in rustling cattle out of the country and sell them on foot, but confined to butch ering and ceiling or eating the beef. l-Arizona Copper Camp.

Bright Money in Streaks.

A man who gives to his wife all the bright dimes and quarters and halves he gets and says that bright money seems to rnn in streaks. Sometimes he gets a lot of bright coins for days, weeks in succession and then he may go month and not get one. He doesn't undertake to account for this but he notes in the last month he gathered in next to none. This is has left him for this time with little more money for himself than previously.--Jer- ome Copper Belt.
