The patient mule is not much for

Justice AcquitS Himself

Huntington, w. Va, Oct. 20
After giving Tom Russell, Of the
East End, a drubbing when the
latter called him a liar in his of
flee Saturday, Squire Stewart
shook hands with Mrs. Nellie
Spurlock, who is alleged to have
had a fight with Mrs. Nellie In
SEQ near Galliaville. The squire
told Mrs. Spurlock that he would
be forced to assess a small fine
but he admired her courage.
I'll have not been tried yet, -
laughed the squire.
Later however, in the pres
ence Of witnesses the magistrate
arraigned himself on the stand,
entered a plea Of not guilty on
the grounds Of self defense and
then found himself not guilty and
was thereby discharged.
The trouble between Russell
and Magistrate Stuart occurred
when Russell came into the jus
tice's Office and after an argu.
.ment called Mr.. Stuart liar.

WHY CATTLE
ARE SCARCE

w. E. Washington, a promi-
nent stockman of Carlsbad, New
Mexico, who has been operating
as a rancher in the Pecos valley
section for the past twenty years,
explains why cattle are scarce
and why the ratio of production
is ste adily decreasing. Mr..
Washington says:
This has been a good year, as
we reckon cattle matters in our
country. We handle nothing but
the very best class of cattle, and
they bring good prices, Cattle
men have been making money in
recent years, which they certain
ly deserve. But these high pri-
ces have been tempting them to
sell calves, also COWS and heifers,
until there is a short cattle sup
ply throughout the entire country.
Now the question is, how is the
country going to be restocked?
Everybody wants to buy steers
and turn them to a profit, but no
one seems to care about engage
ing in the cattle raising business.
Things have been going on in
this easy way, and profits have
been so good that cattle raising
has become almost a lost art, al
though there is no other line of
business that opens up more in
ducements right now. Venture
to say that if cattle could be
rounded up in an automobile, and
if the cattle raiser had a moving
picture show ear where he
could go at night and spend some
money, then we would hear of
many going into cattle raising.
The old-time cowmen, the men
who rode the ranges and slept
on a blanket on the ground at
night are becoming scarcer each
year. Young men Of today with
joy riding and moving pictures
in their minds do not care to en-
gage in the cattle business.
Our ranges have been good
and we will have plenty of feed
for all the cattle we have to car
ry over the winter. Arizona

GREAT FAIR TO BE
HELD AT PRESCOTT

Experienced birdmen will fly
over Prescott three times a day
during the Northern Arizona
Fair, to be held at the Mile High
City, October 27-28-29. Passen-
gers will be taken up each flight
and the three frst-class ascen-
sions are guaranteed every day.
The Association has received
such genuine and substantial
assurance of support for this
fair that they have contracted
for an expenditure of 81, 900 for
this, the first real aviation pro-
gram ever offered in Northern
Arizona.
Senator Ashurst wired the
Secretary today, that the War
Department has instructed the
cavalry at Fort Apache, under
command of Captain Sturgess,
to be present at Prescott during
the Fair. About seventy mount
ed men will attend and be quar-
tered at Whipple Barracks.
The program committee, head
ed by Tom Mix, a western rider
of international standing, will
provide $1,000 in cash awards
for the various events at the
Fair grounds, during each after
noon of the Fair. Special rail-
road rates enabling stop-overs to
attend the Northern Arizona
Fair, enroute to the State Fair
will be arranged by the Santa
Fe, to enable excursionists to

The great land owners of north
ern Wisconsin, including many
ot the big lumber companies, are
offering the cattle raisers of the
drOuth stricken central ives t
more than 3,000,00 acres of
rCh pasture land at nominal
prices upon which they can run
their cattle and fatten them for
market. These are the cut-over
lands as full of stumps as a stub
