MANY CATTLE TO
THlEVING MEXICANS

Ell PASo, Tex. July 9.-Cattle
stealing-rustlinG it is called on the
border-has become more general
during the past three months than at
any time since the days OF the open
range. Officials OF the cattle associa-
tiOns say the starving condition of the
MeNiCans across the border from well
stocked ranches is one contributing
cause of this condition. But they say
the drafting of cowboys into the army
has been responsible for much of the
cattle stealing.
Experienced cowboys, because Of
their youth. have been drafted. leay-
ing the older and less experienced
men to ride the range. As these in
experienced men do not know the
fOrds and crossings where the cattle
thieves cross to ply their Illicit trade,
they drive their cattle there for water
and lose many during the long nights.
