CATTLE MEN AROUSED
Out in Iowa Rustling Is Increasing
On a Large Scale

Des Moines.-Iowa cattle men,
stock from increasing night raids
by modern cattle rustlers, are con-
templating formation of bands of
vigilantes to combat the thieves.
Rustling-on a larger scale than
Iowa has experienced since the
turn of the century-has broken
out recently and appears to be on
the increase. Records at the state
bureau of investigation disclosed
that 133 head of cattle have been
purloined from Iowa farms during
the first eight months of the year.
In the pioneer days Of the state,
the rustler was daring figure who
operated on horseback in large
bands.
The modern ruStler uses a light,
fast truck and takes a minimum of
chances. His booty, aided by proc
essing taxes and scarcity of beef,
daily grows more valuable.
Operating with a ''finger man."
the modern rustling crew spots
herds which Craze in pastures far
away from the farm house.
In the night stiffness the crew,
usually composed of only two or
three men, slip an opening in
barbed wire fences and drive their
truck through. Then they herd the
cattle into their truck and speed
away.
AS yet no offender has been
lynched and it is not believed such
an extreme would be resorted to If
vigilante organization were
formed. But If the menace con-
tinues, Glen Schmidt, chief of the
investigation bureau, said there
is a distinct possibility farmers
will take the law into their own
hands and mete out some kind of
punishment.

East Falls Church Attendant Is

Washington police today are aid
'sng in the search for four highway
men who early today robbed an East
Falls Church. Va, filling station, kid
naped the attendant, who later was
freed, and escaped into the District
over Chain Bridge.
The possibility that the same group
held up and robbed another filling
station near Woodbridge, Va, about
two hours earlier, is being investi-
gated. The automobiles in both
crimes were practically identical and
bore similar District license plates.
A quartet Of robbers between the
ages of rs and 80 drove into the
East Falls Church station about 8
am. and asked Henry Butler, the
attendant, to repair the carburetor
and supply a quart of oil, according
to Sergt. Alton Shoemate Of the
Falls Church police.
AS Butler turned his back to get
the oil, one of the men pushed a
gun in his side and forced him to
get into the automobile, new Ford
coach, while a second man rifled the
cash drawer of $3622.
Butler was ordered to keep quiet or
''be shot" he told police, as the car
sped through Falls Church to Chain
Bridge, where he was released with
the admonition to keep your mouth
shut" Butler obtained the license
number Of the car, which had been
issued for another automobile.

of about the same ages, was used in
