Death by own action uncovers cattle theft ring
Yreka California September 15 authorities say the ranch foreman G H Moesser shot himself in the bunkhouse leaving a six page note claiming past killings in New Mexico and Arizona and an escape from a Nevada jail. The note is investigated as officials seek leaders of a cattle rustling ring linked to G L Dietz a 20 year old from a wealthy Siskiyou family. Dietz and Moesser accused each other of harboring a cattle theft scheme and Moesser reportedly trapped Dietz to aid capture and a $20000 reward was involved.
