ope and who is inventor and builder
OF the walking farm tractor. is ar
ranging for the construction OF a
tractor building plant in Reno. Al.

HELD
ON GRAVE CHARGE

One of the most sensational cases
of alleged cattle rustling has been
through the arrest of John Esser and
Joe May, both cattlemen haling from
the Beatty district where they own
extensive ranges ami ere counted
among the wealthy cattle owners of
Southern Nevada The defendants
had their preliminary hearing before
Justice Burt, Of Beatty, and bound
over to the district court in bonds. of
$500 each. The state was represent
ed by Frank Pittman, acting district
attorney.
The arrests are said to be the fore
runner OF others of equally sensation
al importance and the effect is expect
ed to clarity the situation SO far as the
resident cattlemen can make it. The
plaintiffs are Lawrence Kimball, John
Delfs, l.. ID. and H. d. Porter, who
have been missing some of their pet
stock for the past six months. The
evidence was so conclusive against
one of the defendants that last May
when the entire cattle interests of the
upper Amargosa valley was repre-
sented at a conference held at the
district attorneys office that a settle
ment was reached through payment
of $50 for each head of stock found in
possession of other than the owner of
the brands. This was believed to
have settled the trouble and harmony
was restored on representation that
the stock had been rounded up by
cowboys OF defendants without any
knowledge of the owners until their
attention was called to the presence
of the strange cattle in their herds.
Subsequently it was found that the
losses of the rightful owners were
much greater than at first anticipated
for another bunch was found in Grape
vine canyon ,hobbled while they were
recovering from fresh branding. This
was taken as conclusive proof that the
theits were deliberately perpetrated as
the place where the cows were hidden
was i'll part of the district where
stock never grazes. One of the cows
managed TO get away by climbing the
side of the canyon and scrambling
down a rough declivity arriving at the
home ranch Scared and torn with
proof of the hobbies showing on the
legs. An Indian traced the rendez-
vous and then warrants were, sworn
out. One of the principal witnesses
is A. T. McWilliams. who was survey
ing for the location of water rights in
he district and whose survey showed
the whereabouts of the interned cattle.

LELAND KEEMA
FINISHES CONTEST

The first boy to- finish his three
months pig club feeding contest under
the direction OF the University Ex-
tension Department was Leland Kee-
ma Of the Sanders District. The pig
made an average gain of almost two
pounds per day, which is remark
able showing The final weight OF
the pig was 270 pounds at seven
months of age. The pig had free ac-
cess to self-feeder which was filled
with wheat and a small quantity OF
bran. A liberal supply OF milk was
also fed in conjunction with the grain
Leland used the most approved
method of iattening hogs and has. st
cured good results but in fa-Gess to
him full details will not be pubhsht 4
until other pig club conte-tants have
finished thei. work
Because of the excellent condition
of the pig the Mason Mercantile Co
gave a premium for rhe hog and GO
