ich promptly came from
Ben Laswell, of this city. Sullivan was soon in
irons and taken to Las Cruces. He will probably
not be so fortunate in escaping punishment as
he has been heretofore.
Wanted — A woman to cook on a ranch.
No objection to a widow. Enquire at this office.
Cattle thieves became so bold in Lincoln
County that the legitimate stockmen finally or-
ganized a posse, headed by a deputy sheriff,
and made a raid on the McKenzie ranch, who
is supposed to be the ring leader. The “gang”
had been informed of their coming and had
skipped, but McKenzie was captured and a
large number of burnt cattle recovered. A
movement of this kind should be inaugurated
in Grant County, which from all reports, is full
of burnt cattle from one end to the other. The
claimants of such brands should be arrested,
and convicted of cattle stealing. If something
is not soon done to stop this promiscuous steal-
ing, honest stockmen will soon be out of the
business and their property in the possession of
thieves.
