GRAHAM Tex (AP) - Dale
Smyers would like an answer to
the question of why men steal
cattle
in his experience as an inspec-
for for the Texas and Southwest-
ern Cattle Raisers Association,
Smyers has found that no rustlers
have stolen cattle because they
had to.
“Most of them had plenty of
money and all of them have at
least had a job," he says. "They
didn’t have to steal to live."
The closest thing to an answer
Smyers has found is one little
fact that turns up in his inves-
tigations:
"About 90 per cent of all the
rustlers I have arrested had been
drinking when they stole cattle.”
he says.
However, some rustlers do steal
cattle to eat—but not that they
can’t afford to buy food.
Smyers calls them the "deep
freeze rustlers” and in one case
a deep freeze rustler s garbage
can give him away .
Recently a 900-pound steer dis- SMVERS
