CATTLE RUSTLING WARMING
IS GIVEN RANCHERS

Warning to owners of cattle has
been sounded by the Lovelock Mer-
chants Association. following an in
yestigation which shows that many
thefts of cattle are occurring in this
part of the State, with indications
pointing strongly to an organized
gang of methodical cattle rustlers.
operating in the northern and east
ern counties on a large scale. says the
Lovelock Miner.
One of the methods used by the
cattle thieves is that of driving the
cattle a considerable distance from
where they belong. and disposing of
them where their brand records are
not so we'll known or so easy to To-
cate.
A communication from Fallon
showed that two cows and two year.
lings belonging to the Cooper and
Uniocke ranches, and bearing their
brand, came in to Fallon from the
mountains east of Saltwater. along
with some of the cattle belonging to
Charles Kent. They were put in the
field, and through the Lovelock
Merchants Association, were identi-
fed as belonging here. after a search
by Mr.. Kent showed that they were
branded with marks which not
registered, or shown, on the records
of Humboldt County.
The recent cattle cases at Fallon
have brought to light many suspicious
features of the cattle stealing situa-
ton, and before they are finally over
with there may come to light the ex-
~istence of a king of cattle thieves OPP
Grating on a Statewide scale. get
ting away with large numbers of
animals from the range.
Notifications are being sent TO the
big cattle owners, and in this as in
other matters of general community
welfare. the Merchants Association
is maintaining a close watch on the
situation, with a view to protecting
the interests of Lovelock and the
Lovelock valleys.

Blank Starts a Conversation

Salt Lake Mining Review: The
Old Timer had not been up to see US
for some time until to-day. but he
appeared this morning with a broad
grin on his face. you know Blank"
he said, consulting engineer for the
Timbuctoo Company. And you know
he is a retiring sort of chap who.
despite his high reputation as a geo.
logist. would rather not attract any
attention in public. Rare trait!
well, he got on the street car
with me this morning. At the next
stop, a comely matron with her four
year-old son boarded the car and took
a seat alongside Blank. Ordinarily
he would not have paid any attention
to them, but it happened that sever
al inches of chubby leg showed be-
tween the small boys kits and his
short stockings. This proved Blanks
undoing: for he put his hand on the
bare knee and said genially: Who
has a nice. fat leg?' And the small
boy answered promptly: My man.
ma
Everybody on the car laughed,
but Blank got off at the next corner"

A.. C. Florio was up from his ranch
at Duckwater the first of the week
and spent several days in and around

kinds on Duckwater still gives every
assurance of yielding heavily this
Summer. The first crop of alfalfa
has already been taken are of on
most of the ranches and preparations
are being made to commence cutting
the grass hay. An increased acreage
of grain is coming along nicely. and
to top it all oft trees in all the
orchards are loaded with fruit that
gives promise of ripening just right
t1is season.
To expedite the handling of the
big hay crop on Mr.. Florio's Duck
water ranch he recently received and
has had set up one of the latest hay
loading machines, and it will be put
in service next week when the grass
hay on the meadow has been cut and
cured. These new self-loading ma
chimes are said to be coming into
general use on the big ranches
throughout the country and are re-
ported to be wonderful labor savers.
William Mendfs of Duckwater has
had one of thesmachines in success
