Stolen Cattle

Last week T. E. Mitchell
missed 81 head of his registered
thorobred Whiteface heifers
from his most carefully watched
pastures. He tagged the coun-
try over and then posted a $500.
reward. Later he found them
some 20 miles from home. All
but one has been recovered, 1t
is likely they were driven off and
as they were fine and fat and
could not possibly have been
driven or shipped out Of the
country, the thief likely intend
ed to butched them and sell
baby y-beef''. 1t would seem
more a crime to kill such stock
than to steal them as they are
bred in the purple and no finer
stock can be produced.
Mr. Mitchell and others discov-
cred a pile of hides in a ravine
as he came to town Monday and
inspection showed several belong
ing to Emilio Gonzales but none
of his own. 1t did prove that
some parties are killing range
stock and it is time they were ap-
pretended and punished.
