LIVESTOCK ASSOCIATION
 MAKES NEW START

The annual meeting of the Apache County Livestock asso- citation was held in St. Johns on March 28, with good attend ance. The following were se- lected for officers for the ensuing year: Fred T. Colter. president; John c. Hall, vice president; Henry J. Platt. treasurer; Gil bert E. Greer, secretary.
 There was quite spirited dis cussion of the lease and 64O-acre homestead laws. and while a ma joritv favored both, no resolu- tions were passed for or against. pending a more thorough inves- tigation.
 There had been some thought of discontinuing the association because of lack of interest shown in the past, but all stockmen present voted against the propo- sition and seemed to take hold with renewed interest and to think that under present condi- tions it would be an important factor, and indeed would 1t be so under the prospective lease law, as there would be many things to be adjusted at such a time.
 The financial condition of the association is better than for some time past. so it will be able to accomplish more.
 The association voted to put out brand book for It's members as soon as possible, and within the next 60 days. in which all the brands of it's members will be placed and copy given to each member. The secretary will at tempt to secure the cooperation of the Navajo and Coconino as- sociations and have them all printed together, as such pro position has been attempted be- fore. In the Apache association lists have been sent to each mem- Der requesting the brands and marks owned, both old irons and running ones at the present time
 Range conditions are better than they were year ago in several respects: and. although the feed is shorter, there will not be one half the loss of last year. One reason for this is the mild winter and another is the absence of loco as against last year.
 Present prices are better than ever before for all kinds of cat tie. the price of yearling steers. the only ones to be gotten, being about $3O and with some above that. Range cattle are selling at about $3O to $33. range deliv- cry, and none to be had. From the supply of stock in thls county it is hard to see how prices can go down, as it IS estimated that there is about one-third to one half the number of cattle here as compared with three or four year ago and about one-half the balance have sold with spring and fall delivery. This does not mean steers but covers stock cattle principally as there are no steers available. On the small | territory adjoining St. Johns where there used to be 500 it would be hard to gather 100 head.
 The following new members were taken into the association: John c. Hall. George Winsor and A. J. Mckay, Edgar; J. F. Brink ley, Springerville; W. w. Berry, Alma Davis and A. $. Russell, St. Johns. Every owner of cat tie in the county is urged to join the association. Observer.

OPEN LETTER FROM JUDGE SAPP
 CONCERNING LOUI GHUEY ESTATE

1lrOuRn the cOlumDS or IHe
 Snowflake Herald. Messrs, R. C..
 Smith, Thorwald Larson. Esq.
 and William Wooster still con-
 tinue to make personal and pol itical attacks upon me.
 As the articles prepared by these parties and printed in the newspaper mentioned. have been malicious. and as the majority of the people were aware of the reasons for publishing the mis- leading articles referred to. 1 had intended to ignore same en- tirely. believing that the people of Navajo County would not be misled by articles induced by psrsonal enmity and animosity. However. since the articles ap- pear so regularly, it seemed to me that l owed it to the people of Navajo County to reply briefly.
 Considerable space was given by the Snowflake Herald in it's last issue to the handling of the Loui Ghuey estate. For the in- formation of the public. 1 wish to state that 1 acted as attorney for this estate until elected Judge of the Superior Court. After be- ing elected. ceased to act as attorney in thls estate. and the Court records show that l dis qualified myself as Judge in this estate on the 9th day of May. 1912, no matter having come up in the Superior Court in this estate prior to that time.
 Judge F. w. Perkins of Cocoon ino County was called upon to hear all matters in sad estate until the final settlement of the estate. Judge Perkins made and signed all orders made in said estate after date mentioned, with the exception of two orders, and both of these were made and signed by me at his request, and neither of said orders were of any particular importance, and the parties interested in said estate were agreed as to the con- tents of said orders.
 For services performed by me as attorney in this estate, I re- ceived $569.O %. which amount was based upon the percent al- lowed by law for attorneys fees, and R. c. Smith as Probate Judge entered the order allowing this fee.
 For fees incurred in the Pro- bate Court. R. C. Smith received 1852. 60 personally as remunera- tion for services as Probate Judge, and as attorney for the minor heir in this estate. Thor wald Larson received $250.00
 To everything proposed to be done in the management of this estate, MT. Larson objected, and the records show that practically all of his objections were over ruled, or dismissed at his own re- quest. One of the things he did | toward the efficient handling of this estate. was to prevent the private sale of one piece of real estate, thereby losing to said | estate the sum of $1O00.00 since | this piece of property at public sale brought $1000.00 less than had been offered for it at private sale.
 From the foregoing, it can readily be seen that the Probate Judge received more than half as much as the attorney for the thing exceedingly in any probate proceed

The Holbrook news., 1914-04-10

Ing. lnlS IS accounted TOT Dy the fact that there was so much litigation, mostly unnecessary, in this estate, which was started in practically all instances by Thorwald Larson, as attorney for the minor heir. On account of the unusual amount of lltiga- tion, extra work, etc. in this estate, additional attorney fees were allowed, in conformity with the law. The law expressly pro- vides for the allowance of addi- tional attorney fees where addi- tional work is required. The Court records in this estate also show that Judge Perkins entered an order revoking the appoint ment of Thorwald Larson as at torney for the minor heir, for the best interests of the estate.
 Regarding the continuous mis- statements of Messrs. Smith and Larson concerning the Holbrook News and it's demands on the County. 1 can candidly say that since my election as Judge of the Superior Court have paid but very little, if any, attention to the management of the Holbrook News, and have seen but very few of it's demands as presented to the County. My attention was called to one of these de- mands. and as 1 did not know anything concerning It, and as there seemed to be some dispute. about it, I employed an account ant to examine the books of the News, and his report was filed with the Board of Supervisors. and the matter adjusted in con- formity herewith. Such report shows exclusively that instead of trying to obtain anything not belonging to it, the Holbrook News desired only to claim It's own.
 The foregoing statements con-  corning demands made by the Holbrook News can be substan- tiated by affidayits, and should there be any luther discussion concerning this matter, the affi- davits mentioned will be produc- ed and given to the public at the proper time.
 I do wish the public to under stand fully that 1 am not respon- sible in any way for the Holbrook News, except that have a fin ancial interest in same. and have not been since my election as Judge. The management of the newspaper has been entirely in the hands of other persons than myself since my election.
 The Judge of the Superior Court of Navajo County is atten- ding strictly to the duties of his office, and to his own business: he has neither the time nor the desire to write long articles at tacking this person or that one. There is a time and a place for everything. He believes fully and entirely in the intelligence and fair dealing of the people of Navajo County, and because of this he feels quite certain that while the various articles in the Snowflake Herald have been to the public, but little, if any consideration has been given to the same.
 Respectfully.
