PUNISHMENT FOR
RUSTLERS MEETS
WITH APPROVAL

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., Dec. IL. W.H
old time cattlemen of this region
admitted today that the younger
riders had ideas of how to handle
cattle rustlcrs that worked "almost
as good as stringing 'em to a tree,
like we used to do"
The hard bitten oldsters expressed
relief when the sheriff took Jim
Long and Jim Joe, convicted Indian
cattle thieves, to Florence, Ariz.,
this morning to serve from two to
three years in the state prison there.
The Leupp district Indians and
a gang of rustlers have been caus-
ing them no end of irritation lately
and some talk of forming posse to
ride out and end the depredations
in old-time western style was cur
rent.
The younger men resisted, how
ever, and the heavy sentences i'm
posed by the court seemed satisfact-
DRY. Two other men still are in
Jail and will be tried soon on SINH
lar charges.

Seek Trio Here
For Arizona Job

The shcriff's office is in receipt
of information from Yuma to the
effect that three men had removed
number of spikes and bolts from
the tracks of the Southern Pacific
railroad near Welton, Arizona.
A very meagre description of the
men was wired, the chief item being
they were riding in either a Ford
or Chevrolet ear with two new bal
loon tires on the right wheels. Foot
prints found near the scene of the
attempted wreck have been measur-
cd and their description is in the
hands of police throughout the val
ley.
The men had Il meal near the
place and officers found a bread
wrapper with the name of bakery
IN Tombstone on it. 1t is believed
that the men might have had other
similar loavcs of bread with them
and that this might serve as an ad-
ditlonal clue to their identity.
Officers from the shcriff's office
are working on the case at present.

HOPET0REST0RE
CUARDSAT POINTS
ON VALLEY ROADS

Much interest has been aroused
among farmers in regard to the re-
establishment of a guard at the in
spection station at Trifolium and
the posting of a similar guard on
the San Diego highway, who will
act both as agricultural inspectors
and to prevent the removal of stolen
goods from the valley.
Such guard was established
some time ago as an experiment al
Trifolium under the auspices of the
slcriff's office and the agricultural
commissioner and was later with
drawn. According to A. c. Inwood,
manager of the Imperial Grain
Growers at Brawlcy, two days afte
tie guard was withdrawn, a load of
grain was stolen and taken from
tie valley.
Recently committee was ap-
pointed by the directors of the I'm
perial county farm bureau to con
fer with the sheriff, the agricul-
tural commissioner, and the board
OF Supervisors in regard to the cs-
tablishmcnt of these guards, and tho
committee, composed of c. +. kamm,
Leo Watts, and II. c. Swink, met
last night at the court house to con
fer with the sheriff and the agri-
cultural commissioner.
4 this time the sheriff stated
that he felt the guard had saved tn"
farmers in the valley at least $4,000
for Il gang of thieves had stolen
farm produce and tractor, and
finding they were unable to remove
the stolen articles from the valley
due to the presence of the guard,
were forced to abandon them, and
we're later apprehendcd.
No decisive action was taken at
last nights meeting, beyond til
discussion concerning the posi-
hility of securing the presence of
:; guard from the state patrol. 1t
was decided that the Associatco
Chambers of Commerce be asked to
appoint a committee to join with
the farm bureau committee in It
Ileeting with the supervisors at 10
o'clock Monday morning at the
court house.

SENATORS TO PASS
ON MELLON STATUS
Judiciary Committee Meets Tomor-
row to Vote on Treasury
Secretary.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A division of opinion has developed
in the. Senate judiciary committee on
the right OF Secretary Mellon to hold
ONCE in the face Of an old statute for
bidding the Secretary of the Treasury
to be interested In trade or commerce,
and special session OF the committee
has been called for tomorrow for vote
on the question.
Chairman Norris Of the committee
has joined those contending that Mr..
Mellon Is Illegally holding Office. He is
ready to submit a report to this effect
to the committee tomorrow and there
is every indication that the question will
be placed ultimately before the Senate
for a final decision
The resolution of Senator McKellar,
Democrat. of Tennessee, adopted by the
Senate, questioned whether the Secre-
tary could be continued in Office by
President Hoover without renomina ton
and whether he was not serving In vi
olation of the law The committee has
generally agreed that denomination was
not necessary.
Mr.. Mellon informed the committee
last week that he was Stockholder in
several business concerns but that he
had resigned all executive positions in
the business world. The question at
issue is whether a stockholder consti-
tutes one interested In trade or COM
merce within the meaning of the old
law.
Senator Reed, Republican, Of Penn
sylvanis, contends that If a stockholder
cannot serve as Secretary of the Treas
ury, 1t will be difficult to fnd man
for that office.
