Invention Seeks End to Stock Disputes and Theft
Deport inventor Monard V. Hayes secures a patent for an animal brander that marks each animal with a unique number and owner initials. A companion ledger records purchase and sale details, births, and profits to trace missing stock. Separately, the Fourth Infantry Texas National Guard begins a ten day Camp Mabry instruction. Adjutant General Hutchings estimates encampment expenses for three infantry regiments and a cavalry squadron at 50 000 to 60 000 dollars, partly funded by federal grants.
