Rocksprings, Texas, Oct. 29.—Ed-
wards county peace officers, work- (
in® in conjunction with an inspeCv -T™ ex
tor of the Sheep and Goat' Raisers’ r”:w'~v
Association, made three arrests last
week, a white man, negro and Mex-
ican charged with theft of goats
and sheep from local ranchers. The
raeft were secretly transferred to
the Kerrville jail with the intention
that no publicity would be attached
to the case, but the report of the
arrests leaked out, and has been
confirmed. The negro and the Mex-
ican both made statements impli-
cating others in the thefts, but the
white man has denied any connec-
tion with the charges of theft.
Raymond Earwood, ranching 12
miles out on the Kerrville highway,
reports that he has lost something
like 500 head of Angora goats dur-
ing the past several weeks, and a
/ nSJghbor.O. Q Marshall, also states
that he has Lost 63 head of sheep.
According to the story told by the
Commander Richard E. Byrd is shown surrounded by the crowd which
gathered on the deck of'the whaler C. A. Larsen to wish him luck as he
sailed from Los Angeles to join the other two boats of hi.s Antarctic ex-
pedition at Dunedin, New Zealand, before proceeding to the. Antarctic, j
Byrd expects to be gone at least two years.
I hanksgiving Turkey
Market to Open Here
Monday, November 5
The Thanksgiving turkey market
in Coleman will open Monday. Nov.
5. according to announcements made
by local firms that handle the great-
er portion, of the turkey crop in
this county. r The market will be,
open from that date until Nov. 20.
closing then to allow/ time for all
turkeys bought on that day to reach
eastern markets for the Thanksgiv-.
ing trade!
Although the opening price for
the 1928 turkey crop is not known
at present, all local dealers expect
the market to open at 23 cents per
and New rear’s market. However,
there aty many fine turkeys in the
county/ready for the market at
pro.sen*, or at least will be when
the market opens Nov. 5.
All local buyerr, are better equip-
ped to handle this year's crop, it
is announced, and those having tur-
keys to sell will find either of the
firms ready to handle their birds.

over the entire nation will be larger
thah . the 1927 crop, estimates re-
leased by the state government of
Texts, would indicate that the Texas
crop will be about two per cent less
than last year. Local turkey buy*
ers are of the opinion that the crop
in Coleman county will be about
19 per rent less than was.the 1927
crop.
. The quality of the 1928, crop is
also said to be inferior to the 1927
crop, this being attributed to * an
unusual amount of sickness among
the birds- • this. year." ‘-Meet of this
year’s crop was hatched late and
local buyers expect tire bulk of the
crop to be held for the Christmas

county. None of the stolen stock has’
been recovered as yeti , The offi-
cers are ^working on trie cose en-
ergetically, however, and hope to
be able to make other arrests in
the case as well as recover the stolen
stofek.
Ranchmen in this section have
also reported the loss of many bags
of wool and mohair, and it is al$o
known that other ranchmen have
lost livestock’ as well as Marshall
and Earwood, including Mike Stcib-
er, who has lost 309 goats, and it
is believed that the same gang is
responsible for all the thefts.
"Newspaper reports over the coun-
try adjacent to Rocksprings convey
the supposition that ultimate ar-
rests will reveal a highly organized
gang, headed by individuals "higher
,up.”
Edwards county citizens have been
at high tension for several months
because of unrest in the livestock!
business due to rather shady hap-
penings, and it Is known that several:
of the prominent ranchmen of this!
county had had their lives threat- J
ened fit various times because df
their activity in the way of attempt-
in ; to straighten out those shady
affairs. The local newspaper here
has kept off the subject because
of the desire to keep the publicity
down to a minimum, but with the
arrest of the three men last week,
talk and actions of the local ranch-
men have become open and abovc-
wt iard and the many difficult prob-
lems will be thoroughly investigated.
Mr. Speers, inspector for the
Sheep and Goat Raisers’ Association
with headquarters in San Angelo,
has been here for tome time on
business connected" with the asso-
ciation, and his findings resulted
in the arrest of the three suspects
mentioned, after which details of
the situation £ecame common
knowledge.
