BELIEVE GOMEZ
FLED MEXICO
By international News Service

MEXICO CITY, Oct. 1S.-Gen.
Arnulfo r. Gomez, one Of the two
surviving leaders of the Inflated
revolt of October 2, apparently has
given the federal forces the slip
and made good his escape from
Mexico on an oil tanker.
This was the concensus Of opin-
ion here today following the gov
ernment's frank announcement it did
not have the slightest idea as to
General Gomez Whereabouts.
Gomez was last heard from
operating in the neighborhood of
Huastusco. Vera Cruz, where he
was reported hiding out with % FOL-
lowers. A federal expeditionary
force of five columns of cavalry,
comprising about 1850 men, was
dispatched by Gen. Gonzalo Escobar
to surround this region, but the
rebel leaders familiarity with the
territory. where he served two years
as military commander. stood him
in good stead and he eluded his
pursuers.
The superstition was advanced
today by presidential headquarters
that Gomez succeeded in escaping
from the country on an outgoing
tanker.

NEW YORK. Oct. 1S.-The down.
ward movement in the industrial
and railroad stocks continued at a
moderate pace at the beginning of
trading today. Selling Of weakly
margined accounts and stocks
forced on the market by stop-loss,
added considerably to the supply of
offerings and professionals did their
share in forcing prices lower.
Some encouragement was derived
from the statements of prominent
bankers and business leaders that
the business "cycle" had touched
the lowest point and would prompt
ly swing upward.
The prospect of a substantial re-
duction in Federal taxes. as outlined
by powerful members of the party
in power" was also a pleasing one,
but without much immediate effect
on the market. Call money renewed

Passing of the Prairie Oil and
Gas dividend did not help matters
from a stock market standpoint, but

liquidated thai the offerings are

like General Motors and United

$40 Year Term
For Horse Theft

Gendive, Feb. 14-Irving Rus
ty" Woodward convicted of the
theft of two horses from the open
range was sentenced by judge
Frank P. Leiper to from five to len
years in Deer Lodge. The horses in
question belong to j. r, Lease of
Bloomfield. The trial occupied over
Two days. and the verdict was
brought in by the jury after seven
minutes deliberatIon.
ln passing sentence JuDge .eiper
said in part: There appears to be a
General misaDprehension about un
branded live stock running On the
range. Ii is not the custom and
never has been for anyone to take
up and brand animals running at
large on the range.
IL is not necessary that animals
be branded O establish ownership,
animals belonging TO a person are
his whether branded or nnbra, ded.
The evidence in this case, Mr..
Woodward, 10 my mind, did mol
show any mistake on your part. Il
showed rather pretty well laid
plan TO take these animals
While horses may not be as val.
liable as they were 10 years ago
these horses were valuable to the
farmer owning them. AS far as
this court is concerned it does not
propose to offer any encouragement

branded horses.
The purpose of punishment is
'twofold- first tc punish the offender
and second, the most importer, to
warn others not 10 do the sane
hing. La order to accomplish these
purposes, it is the sentence of tie
law and the judgement of this court
that you be imprisoned in the stat
