Argentine Starts War
"Cattle Rustlers'
(By Associated Press

BEUNOS AIRES, Sept. 1.-Vigor-
Gus raids on the haunts of cattle rust
lers by roundup parties representing
ranch owners and the authorities are
making clandestine brand-cha angling as
unpopular ON the pampas as it became
on the plains of the orth American
West with 1.-The coming a the law"
In a roundup just completed by Of
ficers and SO gauchos, as the hard-rid-
ing and tactiturn brothers of the Tex
as cowmen are called, 5000 head of
cattle have been recovered with
brands that showed signs Of funny
work.
This was in the province of Beunos
Aires, the most populous of the Argen-
tine provinces. From the less settled
provinces also there come from time
to time reports of rustling and sum-
mary punishments that lead one to
think of the old Wyoming or Idaho
days. The rolling pampas of Argen-
tina, scarcely ever broken by the
sight of a tree, have had much the
same history as the North American
western plains.
In past years, especially in the more
distant provinces, the cattle rustler at
times flourished. One picturesque
outcome Of this in the past was the
effort of the Welsh colonies among
the foothills of the Andes of Pate
gonia to set up an independent au-
thority because rustling was not put
down by the government.
