stepdaughter, is not only a murderer,

MORE EFFORT AND
LESS BOOZE, PLEASE
Prohibitionists Could Cer
tainly Have Caught the Wild
Horses,- Says Thompson.
BACCHUS A BAD COWBOY
If horse wranglers had used "a
little less" whisky and more effort"
they would have encountered no dif
ficulties in the rounding up of some
of the 13,000 .wild mustangs which the
United States Live Stock company
claimed to own on the government re
serve in Coconino county, Arizona.
This was the testimony of C. M.
Thompson, indicted secretary-treasurer
of the company, and now being
tried in the United States district
court for the alleged use of the mails
to defraud. .
"The cowboys liked their liquor too
well to catch many (horses," he told
the jury. I
He was positive, -he testified, that
the horses were on the range and if
the proper men set out to catch them
it would be a very easy task.
A Pastor's Plight .
He never told Pastor Flowers of
Burns, Ore., anti of Kearney, Neb.,
that the .range horses were bred up
from Percheron and Belgian stock,
he said. . ' .
And I never told him ihe horses
would be easy to catch. On the other
hand I told him that ' the animals
would be rather hard to gather and
that it would take a lot of money.
TL. H..nAt.. it.... . 1. j.
. lie jicav.Mti mtii i iuiu luoi lie
dldn t want to catch the horses, but
was going to trade them off on the
range. He hal no intentioifof catch
ing them.
Pastor Flowers had earlier testified
that he had lost property and mer
chandise valued at $9,800 in trading
tor the Arizona cayuses.
Poo.r Trade, This.
As to J. A.'Robertson, real estate
dealer oitiraner, s. u.. who also had
testified-earlier in the proceedings
that he had traded his $4,000 De Sota
(la.) flats. Thompson said that then
must have been some-mistake as to
the value of the property.
"All the United States Live Stock
company ever got out of the deal was
$250, which it gave to a lawyer to
straighten the matter out ;
' Thompson cited case after case in
which the United States Live Stock
company had lost money in their
dealings with victims who had
claimed that they had been "miked."
Wife Cruel, Deaver Says,
-. Because She Won't Move
t Alleging that the actlon'of his wife
in refusing to move with him and
their three children to Omaha from
Herman, Washington county, Ne
braska, constitutes cruelty, Samuel R.
Deaver has filed suit for divorce
against Minnie J. Deaver. J
