HORSE THIEVES
STILL OPERATE
Fort Worth, Texas. Wherever
the cattle thief Is to be found along
the "last frontier," the field inspec
tor of the Texas and Southwestern
Cattle Kaisers association is re
doubling his vigilance slnco the re
capture of Milt Cood. For Tom
Ross, Good's partner, Is - still nt
largo. . ' '
Ross and Good still have more
than a hundred years to do be
tween them In tho Texas peniten
tiary on conviction of killing two
field inspectors of the cattle raisers
at Seminole, Texas, In 1924 W. D.
Allison and O. L. Itobcrson.. Aided
by the association, the state cap
tured Ross and Good convicted and
confined them. Then they made a
sensational escape.
Good was recently captured.
"Ross nest," was the only com
ment the inspectors had to make.
The Seminole slayings are but an
episode in the history of the asso
ciation, an organization unlike any
other In the world. After GO years,
romance still rides with the field
Inspector of the cattle raisers. For
him, the old west Is far from his
tory. Cattle stealing is still an or
ganized industry. Two-gun des
peradoes still vow vengeance on the
field Inspector.
