SHERIFF LOOKS BACK Jim Davis, sheriff of Dodge City,
sits in his office and recalls that his predecessors, Wyatt Earp
and Bat Mastcrson, dealt with cattle rustlers when Dodge was
"Queen City of the Cow towns." The only person who says
there isn't any rustling going on today, according to Davis,
is the one who doesn't have any cattle. (UP1)

Dodge City, Kan. - HOT -when
Wyatt Earp and Bat
Masterson served as marshals
of this southwestern Kansas
town, it was known as "The
Queen of the Cow Towns."
That title has faded into
obscurity, while the exploits
of Dodge City's two most fa
mous marshals have grown
into legends.
But a law enforcement
problem common to both the
marshals and the town still
exists: cattle rustling.
"The only person who says
there isn't any rustling going
on anymore is the one who
doesn't have any cattle," said
the modern-day counterpart of
Earp and Mastcrson, Ford
County Sheriff Jim Davis.
"Am! we plan to ' m a k e
rustling a non-profit business
around these parts."
Davis is the type who would
have been looked upon as a i we're really going to crack
"dude" during Dodge City's down on the rustlers."

teacher, wears glasses, speaks

formed. But cattle raisers in the area
believe Davis Is the right man
to solve their rustling prob
lems. He recovered 27 head of
rustled cattle, worth about
$3,000, during his first month
in office this year and arrested
four men.
"But I'm sure this won't be
the end of it," Davis said. "So
terparts, who used horses in
stead of trucks. But the law
has some new advantages on
its side. too.
"Take for instance that first
rustling case we had," said
Davis. "We noticed cattle
grazing on some land in the
soil bank program near here.
"Since they were on soil
bank land, we checked them
out and found no one could
establish ownership. Then we
found out they had been
stolen. That led lo recovery
of the 27 stolen cattle and the
four arrests.",
Davis explained how the
technique of the modern day
rustler compares with that of
the rustlers who plagued
Earp, Masterson and other
frontier cattle town marshals.
"They used to fight off the
herd guards, take out some
cattle or the whole herd, then
take them over a long trail
drive to get them away from
the area where the brand was
known," he said.
"Now they go out to a herd,
take a small steer or heifer
and throw it into the back of
a pickup truck. They usually
take the little stuff, because
it isn't branded.
"They can take the stolen
cattle to a nearby cattle sale,
too, because the dealers don't
get suspicious when one or
two little ones without a
brand are sold."
Davis said many of the cat
tle stolen in Ford county are
sold in the Dodge City mar
kets. "But we're going lo get it
stopped, I'm sure," he said.
Davis admitted, however,
that Earp and Masterson once
thought they could stop rust
ling, too. '
