Cattlemen Band
Together To
Combat Rustling
Fort Worth. Tex. - IUPD -
Mechanization has made cattla
rustling a hit-and-run crime
on a faster scale, but it nasn c
changed the main way a
rancher marks his cattle as
his own. ' ' '
Ernest Duke of Fort Worth,
director . of the Texas and
Southwestern Cattle Raisers
Association, v said the cattle
rustler's pony has given way
to trucks. And the herd-'em-to-safety
method of the past has
yielded to a method harder to
trace - rush- em-to-market.
'Transportation has been a
real boon to thieves, Duke ..
said. "They can steal cattle
after dark and be far away by
daylight. They can load the
cattle into fast transports and
have them sold at market be
fore long."
Texas law enforcement
officers still have a lot o
trouble with cattle thieves,
Duke said. The end of the
open range didn't bring an
end to rustling.
Remains Same
But cattle branding has re
mained basically the same
over the years.
"Nothing has replaced the
hut iron yet," Duke said. "It
remains the same thing as in
the old days. There are some
acids and other chemical
brands, but they don't work as
well."
To match the rustlers' in
creasing mobility, enforce
ment officers and cattlemen
have a few new tricks of their
own;
One of their major weapons
is the cattlemen's association,
which was founded to fight
rustling and has remained,
with additional functions, to
aid ranchers.
The assocation was founded
in 1877, when 40 cattlemen
gathered under a giant oak
tree near Graham, Tex. Be
fore long, the membership had
spread throughout the tfbrid.
j.ne present name or me or
ganization is a misnomer.
Duke pointed-out. Tlje mem-

tors check cafCle auctions for

vehicles. ..bringing the cattle
to market. In .this way, they
can often spot rustled cattle
before they are soldj'i" .
Duke estimated that $30
million worth of strayed and
stolen cattle have been: re
stored to rightful owners by
the . association during '.' the
past 20 years. -
235,000 Brands , .v
Texas'. has,: 235.000 .cattle
brands registered with the as
sociation;: he) said. They are
recorded on 'a county-by-coun-ty
basis, so that no two men
in the same county can have ,
the same brand. Some duplica
tions do occur across county
lines. .v11"
Despite the sneeduo'ln bus
tling methods, one asbect of
speed -has hurt the cattle
thieves, Duke said. '' 'f
"There's not so much trou
ble nowadays with a running
brand - that is, changing fane
brand to another design," he '
said. "When you run a brand
you have to hide the cattle
somewhere for a few days to
let tne brand heal, or it can
be detected."
In the old days, a rustler
could run the cattle off some
where and wait for the new
brand to set. But now. he
doesn't have time for that."
Duke said.

muscle protein. Because cook

no harmful effects have been
reported from its use in this

Stork Busiest During

New York -flJPIi- The stork's

September and December.
The Health Insurance In
stitute reported that birth

months. The December birth

ELECTRONIC BRAIN
New York - (UPD - Giant
electronic "brains" are having
trouble akin to marital diffi
culties. They can't figure out
how to talk to each other.
For example, one brand of
thinking machine can't under
stand the language used by
another brand of machine. Im
proved and standardized trans
lating devices may provide
the answer, according to Dr.
Joseph Barker, consultant to
the Office Equipment Manu
facturers Institute.
