The “Strays" which they find are usually Just cattle which have wandered Into the wrong herd. Prosecutions for cat tle stealing today are rare. But the work of the Inspectors In reading the hieroglyphs which mark the range cattle saves the ranchers of the country enormous sums every year. In 1923 the ranchers of Wy oming were saved $888,155 and had 15,731 head of cattle returned, -t Ne braska ranchers were saved $3011099 South Dakota ranchers were saved $32,894. That Is the saving of but three states In one market. Every state has Its system of Inspection and has It at each market. The amount of money saved all of the ranchers Is enormous. Montana with Its 90,000 registered brands and the other states with their annually Increasing num ber take the bulk, but Nebraska and South Dakota proportionately get as much. By L. C. GRAHAM. Hieroglyphs, a writing that was old when Ramesls built the pyramids, annually saves ranchmen millions of dollars and daily untangles problems In the South Omaha stockyards. It forms means of identification for the cattle which come from western ranges, and makes the sale of stolen cattle in any market in the United States almost Impossible. Claude L. Talbot, once a cowboy but the last 38 years a brand in spector at South Omaha, and his as sistants, work long hours each day inspecting the marks of the thous ands of cattle held in the pens. No steer goes to slaughter or to the feeding farms until Talbot or one of his men has declared It the legitimate rroperty of the man who has offered it for sale. Should the animal prove, upon In spection, to belong to some rancher other than the one who shipped it. the proceeds of the sale are taken by Talbot and turned over to the of fice of the Cattle Growers’ association of Wyoming. Nebraska or South Da kota to be f^pvarded to the rightful owner. The association retains the cost of freight and the commission for the sale before forwarding the money to the cattle raiser. Duties Sound Simple. But while the duties of the cattle inspectors sound very simple, it is in truth a profession in Itself. Every brand in every state Is registered at the state capitol. There was a time when the registering of brands was handled by each county, and that com plicates matters now. When the coun ties handled the registering the only attention paid to duplication was in tho immediate county. When the states took over the duty of registration of the brands anv duplication, were they widely enough separated geographically, was allowed to pass. So now there are often three similar brands coming from one state. —Photo by Or»h»m Every day, and almost all day long, the Inspector* of brands 1n South Omaha go from pen to pen In search of cattle that may be strays, They must move about among the penned animals to see that no mark Is overlooked and that all parts of each mark are seen. 7 The upper photograph, on the left, shows Claude Talbot, chief Inspector, and three of his assistants, R. A. Bacon, H. R Robinson and George Christlensen. In upper right photograph Bacon Is seen whirling his lariat preparing to "rope" a steer which he wishes to Inspect closely. In the middle, left, the rope has fallen over the steer's head. On the right Bacon Is seen clipping hair over the brand In order to see the mark lng to better advantage. Below, Bacon Is taking down notations of brands that are in that pen. In Wyoming alone there are 45, 000 registered brands. Nebraska boasts but 15,000 and South Dakota has approximately 16,000. Another confusing feature for the Inspectors to watch Is the habit of ranchers of having more than one brand. Senator J. B. Kendrick, of Wyoming, has five brands that he uses all of the time and a sixth which he used occasionally. The inspectors have all been fa miliar with cattle and horse brands for years and, of course, are able to read many of them readily. But there are always a few new ones appear lng on the market and for these *he men must refer to their "guide." Guide Book Helpful. The guide Is a little volume In which the owner of every brand and his address is shown. It closely re sembles an official guide to the tomb of King Tutankhamen. It depicts each brand In careful, straight lines and tells the name of the owner In clear English type. But when the un inltlate, after carefully reading the guide, start- ut to read brands, he finds things more complicated than he at first thought. The MY brand, for Instance, owned In South Dakota, looks, in the book, like two small letters run together, but when the brand is seen on a steer it is a sprawling, unintelligible thing The lower point of the first leg of the M starts on the animal s left shoulder. The final point of the last leg of the M ends on the animal s hip and the arms of the Y are the center parts of the M. Yet the In spectors speak of that brand as simple. There are other trials to the art ol reading brands. Some are burned or one side of the animal and some on the other. Some are small and burned on the shoulder, others are smaller yet and burned on the anl trial's cheek. Some are large and cover one whole side of the animal Some cover only its flank. Some cat tie have been branded two or three times, one over the other. Few Cattle Stolen. None of the inspectors in South Omaha feels that there Is verv much Omahans “Squawk” on Jail Fare; n Near Riot Surprises Samar dick; Everything “Jake,” They Told Him i Omaha to Honor Governor Bryan A nonpartisan committee, appoint ed lute yesterdav, will plan Omaha ! part In the notification ceremony tc be held at Lincoln, August 18, wher Senator "Pat" Harrison will officially inform Governor Bryan that he Is tht choice at the democratic party tor tht vice presidency.
