The old days of the vigilante com

leave the place within 48 hours.
For some time horses have been
disappearing In northern Grant coun

searching found a number of 'their
animals In the section known as Para

time strangers have been found in
the ranchers' pastures and when

the stranger would make ever effort
to keep at a distance. Some of the
parties who arc In this questionable
business, it Is stated, live in Grant
