I Stockmen of .Jackson county to
day filed petitions with the county
I court asking that they li( jjiven
protect inn "from motorized catt le
I thieves," as provided in laws en-
i acted ,y the last session of the
leKislaltire.
The petitions recite "there Is a
KiouliiK lawlessness" 4m the iarie
and ask that a sp-cia I officer,
whoxe name and Ideality he kepi
secret, he appointed to investigate
cat tie -rust I hitf conditions in then''
pari.
The petitions wire freely signed
hy a larue number of stockmen.
The eon uly coin ( deferred action
until all the petitions were turned
in . There Is a strong sentiment
among the stockmen im- the ap
pointment of a special officer.
.Mciiihers of the county court
said that while there was no def- 1
1 11 It i information as to cattle
rust lint:, there "is a decided Im
pression anions Mockmcn that
such Is heiiiK conducted un u small
sea le."
Ily uhIiik a motor truck, It Is
jmssihle ftr a "rustler" lo steal
and kill and market a cow with a
speed that almost defies detection.
This situation prevailed last winter
in the Head and Klamath Falls
districts, ami heeanie so 'prevalent
that stockmen demanded action hy
the legislature.
i Commissioners Alford and Hur
sell said tills afternoon that five
j ia Ken In the l!iL'Il enactments were
devoted to livestock, hut that after
careful reading thereof, tiiey u ere j
uuaiplc- to say hat could ,e done.
They said (lie enactments defined
a cow. a cattle thief, a special offi
cer, a rannc. at ;reat leiiKlh, hut
no course for relief. They said
they would refer the matter to the
district attorney, and In the mean
time withhold final aciu on the
petitions.'
The stockmen of the county now
nave iiieir siock on (lie summer I
raiiKe ami the fall round -up will
start soon. There Is alwaya more
or less shrinkage In the herds from j
natural death, varmints, falling j
over clllfs. and KcllhiK nlim for
deer hy careful hunters. 1
