CUERO, Sept. 10.—Memories
of the old west, when the theft
of a likely looking horse was
practically an every day occur-
rence, were revived here Wed-
nesday with the theft of a horse
and saddle from Frank Grimes,
Cuero colored farmer.
Grimes had “parked” his horse
on a rear street in the business
section of Cuero. When he re-
turned both horse and saddle wen*
missing.
The horse was a dark bay
mare with black mane and tail.
The animal was marked with a
white spot on the fore shoulder.
Officers at noon Thursday had
found no trace of the missing
horse.

No organization or combined

Texas did so much to maintain'
th<‘ financial prosperity of Tex i

which had well nigh perished as
a result of the civil war and as a

Crocket Cardwell, a pioneer mer-
chant of DeWitt County in 1866
assembled a herd of ■‘Longhorns"
on the ground on which the town
of Cuero now stands. I was 1<»
years old then ami remember to I
this day what a striking spectacle
that herd ot 5(10 “Longhorns”
with an average spread of 5 feet
from tip to tip of how that was
the first herd of Texas cattle
driven to a northern market ami
it started from DeWitt County
and opened the greatest enter-
prise that ever arose in the his-
tory of Texas. I tried, last year,
to get the Centennial Association
to place a marker at the south
side of the underpass on the

erected to the Trail Drivers at
[Yoakum inscribed “In Memory
'of the Trail Drivers of Texas,
who went this way 1867-1887.”
[However I would have been bet-
