Officer Byrd said he received
a tip off on their activities Mon

himself on a dirt road leading
into Roberts Neck. Later he said
he called Patrolman Davis by car
radio and the patrol car was sta
toned further down the road.
When the truck was seen ap-.
preaching the road through the
woods, Officer Byrd said he was
notified by Mr.. Davis and after
the truck reached the road he
radioed back to Mr.. Davis 10 close

police report.
There has been a number of
cattle stolen from that section of
the county and Wilton Roberts
reported as many. as six or eight
calves missing at one time, lately.
Deputy Byrd said.
This cattle stealing has grown
into alarming proportions in the
county and during the past year
there have been several thous-
ands of dollars worth of cattle sto-
len," he declared. "Officers of
the county are on the job and
farmers are cooperating and
watching roads and trucks at
night. Anyone seeing anything
suspicious is asked to phone on
in Pascagoula, police headquar-
tiers, and the alarm will be sent
out by a radio. State and Coun-
ty highway patrolmen are assist
ing and the Board of Supervisors
has indicated willingness to do
anything possible to be of help
in breaking this up"
In a signed statement Clark
said they had stolen the yearling
to eat. Schlater said he had gone
with Clark purportedly to track
down some hogs belonging ito
a Greek" with their dogs. He
said in his statement that they
were unable to find the hogs and
then decided to take a calf.
