SPORT WEIGHT SCALE

l.. NJ. Jacobsen reports that two
hide buyers from Reno, who were In
the Valley this week, were using
short weight scales. He bargained
to sell them twelve sheep pelts, which
weighed on their scales 81 pounds
He closely examined the sales and
found them to be doctored, wherenpon
he demanded the return of the pelts,
and at the same time ordered the men
from the premises. After they had
taken their departure, Mr.. Jacobsen
weighed the pelts on his own scales
and found that instead of 81 pounds
they weighed "a, a difference of 13
pounds. Had he not detected the
short-weight scales, he would have
been cheated out of $2.25.
Mr. Jacobsen has threatened to put
the matter in the hands of the proper
authorities. and at the same time
notified many of the sheep owners
and others who have hides for sale.
