RANGES ARE IN
POOR CONDITION
IN NEW MEXICO
Average Is Only 40 Per
Cent Of Normal, the
Worst for Many Years.;
Cattle and Sheep Healthy
Special to The journal.


Las Cruces, N. M, Oct. 10.-The
division Of crop and livestock esti-
mates Of the United States depart
ment of agriculture, through Agri-
cultural Statistician r. r. Hare, is
sued schedules OF inquiry to lead
ing stockmen of the state to as
certain the range and livestock
conditions, and the prevailing price
of sheep and lambs as of October l.
The average of 16S replies from
stockmen and farmers showed q
range and pasture condition of 40
per cent Of normal. This is the
lowest condition recorded by the
department during the past twelve
years, and in the opinion of prac-
tically all stockmen, the worst for
many years, On January 1, 1922,
the number of sheep in the state
was estimated at 2,343.000, and the
cattle at l,132,000. 1t is probable
that at that time the ranges were
stocked to capacity Of so per cent
condition. With condition of 40
per cent on October /, little inn
provement can be expected before
winter. This means that, unless
the cattle are fed, probably so per
cent will either be moved from the
state or lost by starvation.
More favorable reports were re-
ceived from the eastern and north
ern parts of the state, where some
grass was reported in spots. Dona
Ana, Lincoln, Otero, Sierra, Soc
orro. Torrance and Valencia coun-
ties are among the worst sufferers.
All cattle and sheep were in good
health. The condition was re-
markable in view of ronge condi-
tons. Some losses from starvation.
markable in view of range condi-
ton; cattle not so good. Cattle
prices low, but sheep usually fair,
and lambs good. Sheep price aver
age 51a cents and lambs 1015 cents
per pound. Some forced sales of
cattle as low as $40 per head. Av-
erage price of cows with calves
$40 to $50; yearlings SIS to 500.
The calf crop averaged AZ per cent
of the cows; the lamb crop so per
cent of the ewes.
Comments OF Stockmen.

YOUTH ACCUSED
Of MURDER HELD
To GRAND JURY
Prosecution Beekman in New
Jersey Says He Can Con-
vict Hayes on the Evil
denCe in His Possession.


New Brunswick, N. j., Oct. 10
(by the Associated Press) Prison
bars closed tonight on third Inn
portant figure in the Hall-Mil's
murder mystery, but the incarcera-
ton, instead of helping clear the
weird tangle of clues and counter
clues, served only to emphasize the
difficulties authorities are encoun-
tering in their efforts to chez up the
evidence on which 19year-old
Clifford Hayes stands accused of
the double staying.
The third to go to jail was Pearl
BANNER, the 15-year-old girl, VINO
Raymond Schneider says, Hayes
thought he was Staying, with her
stepfather, when, according TO
Schneider's story, Hayes fired four
bullets into the bodies Of the Rev.
Edward Wheeler Hall and Mrs,
Eleanor Relnhardt Mills on the
night of September IA, on the de-
serted Phillips farm. Schneider is
held as a material witness.
Pearl was not officially jailed IN
connection with the Hall-Mills
case. The charge against her
which she calmly admitted-Was
incorrigibility. Prosecutor Stricken
OF Middlesex county, who has been
active in the investigation Of the
Hall-Mills case, appeared person
ally against her. County Judge
DAILY, before whom the hearing was
held, departed from the rule OF
secrecy in juvenile cases and threw
his court open because, he declared
the people "have a right to know
why she is being put in jail"
Committed For Week
AT the end of the hearing, after
she had testified to intimacy with
Schneider and her stepfather, she
was officially committed for
week, pending a decision on the
incorrigibility charge. Unofticially'
1t was said that she was being
given a chance to think over the
conflicting stories she has told. An
additional reason for her incarcera-
ton was said to be the fact that
she was too difficult to find when
she was wanted for questioning
Nicholas BANNER later was ar
rested as a result of the charges
preferred by his stepdaughter, and
held in $4,000 bail following his
arraignment.
Pearl, who was with Schneider
when the bodies of Mr.. Hall and
Mrs. Mills were found" two days
safter the murders, on more than
one occasion, has given newspaper
men working on the case reason
Ia believe she knew more than she
was telling. incidentally, she has
turned against Schneider, once adj
mittedly her sweetheart, and has
sought to convey the impression
that he knew more about the MUIR
ders than Hayes, whom he &C"
cused of the crime.
Schneider, it was disclosed to-
day, told four different stories
about his knowledge of the STAY
ings before he reached the story
of Hayes commission Of the
crime on which the authorities
acted. After he had been trapped
in prevarications in the first four,
said a state trooper who was
present throughout the long ex-
animation. Schneider would say:
well, let's go back and start
all over again. I'll tell the truth |
this time"
Story Fails to Harmonic.
His final story still fails to har-
monize with facts about the MUIR !!
