Meanwhile the police questioned tho
civilian they had caught, examined
Navarre's automobile and soon came
to the conclusion that the star aviator
was the man they wanted. That af-
tcrnoon they arrested Navarro just as
he landed in his airdrome after an
aerial fight with an enemy machine
inside the German lines.
Navarro was taken to Paris and
confined in the Cherche Midi military
prison. 4 lawyer was assigned to him
and when he was asked to plead to
the charge of running down a dozen
policemen and three civilians and seri-
ously -woundIng four OF them. Navarro
replied that he remembered nothing at

When the Paris newspapers printed

RANGE ANIMALS DO DAMAGE
TO DRY FARMERS ON DESERT

The Record is in receipt of the fol-
lowing letter from Mr.. H. J. Doolittle
Of Lund, which is self-explanatory:
"Lund, Utah, January 80, 1917
The farmers on the desert here are
complaining bitterly about the dam.
age that is now being done by range
cattle supposedly owned by Cedar and
Parowan cattle men. The ground is
now thawing out and having been
seeded to small grain it will not do
for these cattle to be ranging over it.
Wish you would put an article in your
paper calling the cattle mems atten-
tion to this and asking them to keep
their cattle on the proper ranges. Our
farmers don't want to cause these
cattle men any unnecessary expense,
but as they have notified the owners
on various occasions that their cattle
were trespassing and causing damage
they feel now that unless the cattle
are taken care of at once it will be
necessary to have them taken up and
damages assessed. This they want to
avoid If possible, as they want to re-
main on friendly terms with all the
balance of the residents Of the county.
"Yours truly,
al. j. DOOLITTLE"
We believe that owners Of livestock
in the eastern part of the county will
recognize the justice Of this request
on the part Of the dry farmers in the
western part of the county and will
take steps at once to prevent their an-
imals from trespassing upon these
farms; that is to say, those Of them
whose stock is ranging in that local
ity.
