w. J. Cox Says 1t Will Benefit
Mexican Growers Only; Some
Little Paragraphs.

66H Rec cattle will have no effect
upon the local cattle situation
4 except to give the Mexican
growers the benefit of the reduction
in increased prices W. J. Cox, the cat
tie commission dealer, says. THE buy
ers are now taking all the cattle they
can get out of Mexico. and have been
doing this for several years. There
IS greater demand than supply and
Tor this reason top prices are offered.
as there IS only a limited number of
these cattle in the republic. The re-
duction of the tariff will not increase
the number of cattle exported from
mexico Neither will it decrease the
price of beef to the consumer What

be plenty. It is a new model gun, has
no recoil and is an ideal revolver for
protective purposes"
There has been a mixup in Ell Mo
ehcs' and their rams" Todd McClammy
says. THE Mocho who was seen at Co
lumbus IS another One-armed Mexican
and not the one who was lOOting in the
MADEIRA district Martinez had his left
arm off, while this one has his right
arm off above the elbow. Both are
known as Ell MochO' and this has been
the cause of the miXup in identities
1 saw Martinez's grave after Villa had
executed him, and I am sure that he
