FARMERS PROTEST
REHABILITATION OF
MULES AT FACTORY
WASHINGTON April 4 up

WASHINGTON. April 4 tUP) -
Southwestern farmers asked con-
gress today TO do something about
a mule rehabilitation factory
which they said is selling them
patched-up stock.
More than 200 complaints have
been received that a Texas concern
is repainting mules and selling
them TO farmers in that and ad-
joining states for young work ami
mails. The farmers want a law to
stop it.
They complained that by all the
signs ordinarily used to determine
age the mules appeared to be
young But when they were put in
the cotton fields they 'wilted' and
their true ages became apparent.
The farmers reported the mules
they bought for young stock had
their face lifted, their teeth
filed and their ages otherwise dis
guised by subterfuge.
One of the principal ways OF
telling a mules age is by his teeth
On the edges of the incisors are
grooves or cups that wear away as
the animal advances in years.
1t was charged the mule fac
tory had been reverting to an ole
horse trading practice known a'
"bishoping ng"-the filing of new
cups.
Another way the age of mules
are determined is by the cavern
Gus spaces above their eyes. These
sunken places do not fill out Wher
an old mule is fattened To oblite-
rate that sign of age the factory

Employers in Imperial county

register with the department.
Bailey said the records of the
department offices in Sacramento
indicate there are still many en-
ployers in this district who have
not yet filed with the department.
Employers who hire from four
to seven persons in subject employ
ment must pay contributions to the
Unemployment Trust Fund begin
ming January /. 1888" said Bailey.
Contributions for the first quar-
ter were due and payable on April /.
and will be delinquent after April

Jackson's theory was based on

the coupe following the Frome car
Wednesday afternoon and of sub
sequent movements of these two
automobiles. The womens bodies
were found last night. The aban-
doned Frome car was found Sat-
urday.
Assault Utterly Vicious
The assault was vicious almost
beyond Imagination, Jackson said.
1t was learned from a reliable
source that Miss Frome was Grim
inally attacked and there was evi-
dence indicating that Mrs. Frome
likewise was abused. Bits of flesh
found beneath Miss Fromes fin
gernailS, a lock of mans han
which she clutched in her scared
hand and a mans handkerchief
which she held in the other hand,
were studied at Austin.
The women's knuckles had been
burned by a cigaret or cigar. Mrs
Frome's right hand had been burn
ed off. Flesh had been bitten from
/ her forearm. Virtually all of their
clothes had been ripped off. Mrs
Frome was clad only in girdle
stockings and shoes and her daugh-
/ ter was in stepins and stockings.
During the struggle under mes
| quite bush the women were felled
by a blow. There they were tor
tured Someone jumped on Miss
Frome until her diaphram was
ruptured Still, she lived and in
her agony she claWed into the
soil so viciously that the flesh was
worn from her fingers.
Frome, assistant sales manager
of the Atlas Powder company, came
here Saturday by plane.

killed a COW, and gave a dozen
others the nervous jitters.
Thirteen COWS walked into the
barn and stepped to the stanch-

mixers. In a second the place was
a shambles as the COWS repeatedly
fell TO the floor and rose to their
feet, bawling frantically and plung-

After order was restored and
tha heaving mass of valuable
Guernsey milk stock calmed down,
the mixers located the trouble. An
electric wire encased in a steel
conduit was grounded to the steel
stanchions. The cattle suffered a
shock every time they brushed
against the stanchions.
