D., Dec. 1«».—Cattle rustling within the Black Hills 1 re- proper has been resumed after a ‘noon period of several years inactivity on s on-1 the part of the rustlers. For several years the rustling has been confined to the plains country north and east of here, but the numeroussmall herds in the hills have been J free from maruders. Within the j past month numerous complaints )Ace. from owners in Lawrence county. nearNahant and Meritt, and in Pennington county, near Rochford. have come to the authorities that cattle are being systematically spirited away. In nearly every case it is an old cow that has been in the habit of coming regularly to the saltlicks. Over a dozen cattlemen have reported losses of from one to three cows each.It is reported that several former rustlers have returned to this section and the stealing has placed them unde suspicion, and stockmen are now forming plans for mutual protection and considering the advisability of hiring a well known stock detective to check the work of the rustlers and wipe them out.c. 65 —34.bes.: SatPre-LastI Hrs0.00Dropped Dead.o.ooi Bonilla, S.
