hides, then they can expect strict
enforcement from officers of the law

Sometimes the value of the brand
inspection records compiled through
the various regulations of livestock
sales is overlooked. 1t is possible
to check all stock sales whether dis
posed of alive or slaughtered and
whether sold locally, within the
state, or in adjoining states.
License numbers of strange cars
and tracks alone can furnish enough
evidence TO make possible investiga-
tions in many cases. Notes should
be made cf these when available

Cooperation between county sher-

Moreover, this cooperation can
only exist when the wholehearted

Theft Of Any Livestock
Is Grand Larceny
By RALPH MIRACLE, ExecntiOe officer,
Montana Livestock Commission

LIVESTOCK OWNERS do not
have to sit idle while thieves
butcher or steal their stock. Many
localities have asserted themselves
by active interest in their own pro-
lection and those preying ON their
property have either been appre-
hended or forced to move on.
There are adequate laws in Mon
tana to make rustling an unattrac-
tive and Improbable occupation.
theft of any livestock regardless OF
value is grand larceny in our state
subject to punishment of not less
than l year or more than IA years
in the state prison. Mutilation or
defacing of brand is a felony with
a minimum of 1 year.
Lew enforcement authorities and
the courts are unavoidably influ-
enced by public interest. If live
stock owners are lax themselves in
living up to the regulatory laws in
regard TO brand inspection and
checking of slaughtered beef and
hides and are lethargic in reporting
losses or observing suspicious cir
cumstances, it can only follow that
enforcement on the part of state and
county officers will suffer and courts
will be prone to be lenient in the
punishment of offenders.

will go up to around 10 TO IL pounds
before the cattle are sold around
Oct. Is.
To date he has had no trouble at
all with cattle off feed, or any death
losses with the exception of 8 calves
last winter. One of the big advan-
tages, Smith says, is the ease with
which the land on which the cattle
run is maintained. The heifers are
all bred. Neither steers nor heifers
bother the fences. They will come
to the feed hunks when called, are
quiet and easy to handle. All have
been sprayed against flies. The pas

three-week feeding period the group
made an average daily gain of 2.87
pounds.
Pellet Feeding
The cattle are consuming an av-
erage of approximately 7 pounds
of pellets per day at cost of about
q cents per day. Clarence figures

Prosecution NOT Easy

Prosecution of cases involving
livestock theft is not easy. County
attorneys need real support from
those affected. 1t is never easy for
farmer or rancher to leave his work
for jury duty, but their service ia
Montana farmer-stockman., 1950-08-01

less and unbusinesslike in the nfae-
ter of bills of sale in the conduct of
ordinary transactions, much of the
enforcement officers time and ener-
gy is necessarily wasted in checking
and tracing perfectly legitimate
sales.
Keep Record of Sales
Livestock is too valuable to ham
die carelessly. Every livestock own
er, large or small, should keep care
full inventory of his stock and rec
ord of his sales, purchases, and nat
ural losses. Then, when losses oc-
cur, there are facts available.
Brands are essential as Identified
ton of horses and cattle. Many il
legal sales of unbranded stock have
been traced, but in the absence of
positive Identification the theft can
not be proved in court.
Brand inspection, particularly that
made by deputy stock inspectors for
removal for each county, is depend
ent on the backing of the livestock
owners in each locality. Help your
inspectors, don't expect them to take
your word for the brands on your
shipments. They are performing
service for your protection and If
you don't cooperate with them,
their inspections won't mean much
and the records they turn in will not
be of any value when checking il

essential if they expect justice In
cases connected with their own bust
ness.
Farm organizations and local
stock associations can be instrument
tai in forwarding efficient protec-
ton for their property. Thieves will
leave livestock alone in communities
where they know that they will have
to face the wrath of a united public
if they are caught. Fear of punish,
ment is the one sure deterrent to
crime and in a state like Montana
with a traditional background of
stock laws that effectively replaced
the rope and rifle of the vigilante
jdays, rustlers should be put out
and kept out of business.

Archbishop 0'Boy|e
Urqes Christian Unity

The Most Rev. Patrick A..
O'Boyle, Archbishop of Washing
ton. in letter in connection with
the annual Church Unity Octave
to be observed by Roman Cath
olics, January 1925, called on
lapsed Catholics and others to be
united with the church.
Archbishop O'Boyle, in a letter
this week to "The Review" official
weekly newspaper of the Arch
diocese Of Washington, urged the
175.000 Catholics of the arch
diocese to recite special prayers
and perform special works of
charity during the Church Unity
Octave. The Octave. started in
1908, by the Rev. Paul James
Francis. is aimed at bringing
lapsed Catholics and others into
the Catholic Church.
Without naming Communism
but obviously referring to it, Arch
bishop O'Boyle pointed out lit is
not only we ourselves in the church
who are aware Of the vital need
of Christian unity in the face of
the ruthless and aggressive athe-
ism that hangs like a cloud over
half the earth. The need has been
recognized by thoughtful non-
Catholic Christians, so much so,
that here and there well inten-
toned efforts have been made
towards establishing a common
front against the common enemy
Of our day. For it has become
evident that the only way to meet
O ruthless and aggressive enemy
united against Christ is to present
an unbroken and determined
unity Of those who believe in God
and His Christ"

tee wants the liquor industry to
rid itself Of gangster elements
among the wholesalers.
Officials of some of the Nations
leading distillers met behind
closed doors yesterday with Sena-
tor Kefauver and Committee
Counsel Rudolph HALEY.
Senator Kefauver said after the
session that the distillers have
promised to cooperate in "elimi-
mating certain gangster elements
that have infiltrated the whole
sale liquor field"
The chairman pointed out to
the industry representatives that
the committee hearings in Kansas
City showed gangster elements
had substantial monopoly on
wholesale whisky distribution in
that area.
The distilrers were told pre-

liar situations in some other cities.

of the industry making its own

having the committee prove its
point city by city.

HALEY insisted "There was some

OF Fred ). Prifchett

The United States Court of
Appeals today upheld the first
degree murder conviction of Fred
S. Pritchett, 38, in the fatal shoot
ing of Clyde L. King. SO. locomo-
tive engineer. in July. 1949.
Pritchett was found guilty by a
District Court jury last January
and originally was scheduled for
electrocution on March II this
year. Trial Judge T. Alan Colds
borough, however, granted stay
until the appeal could be taken.
Mr.. King. who lived in the 200
block of Charming street NE. was
shot down at the throttle of his
switch engine in the lexington
yards after an argument between
the two men over Mr.. Kings wife.
Defense Counsel James j..
Laughlin raised three points be-
fore the appellate court. 1t was
claimed that the trial evidence
was not "clear and convincing"
since no one actually saw the SnotS
fired; that Judge Goldsborough
had prejudiced Pritchett's case by
mentioning self defense in his
jury charge instructions, although
Pritchett had denied all along he
had killed Mr.. King; and that
the final argument of Prosecutor
Richard Roberts before the jury
was "infiammatory."
Appeals Judge Bennett Champ
Clark turned down all three
claims. however. Judge Clark said
that he and his associates re-
garded the evidence as strong
and included direct and cir
cumstantial evidence of motive,
of design to kill. of exclusive op-
portunity and of constituencies
of guilt" The complaint of Judge
Goldborough's charge to the jury
was completely without merit, !"
and the prosecutors closing argu-
ment was within legal bounds. the
decision said.

The chairman said he was pleased
at the willingness Of the industry
leaders to accept the fact that
something had to be done about
the problem.
He said tie industry's recon-
mendations may call for some
changes in present laws because
the distillers feel they may not
have a legal right to refuse whole
salers who are licensed by various
