Deer Easier to Catch Than 11s Wild Horses
In Omaha Nebraska on December 14 Middleton of Kansas City testified for the government in the case against the Omaha Land and Investment Company and the United States Livestock Company over alleged defrauding in wild horse sales in Cochoning county Arizona. He said deer are easier to catch than the horses he purchased. Frank Zerbe testified he pursued Palm Hastings real estate man to account for the horses bought but did not recover them. He claimed chasing Palm through Hastings streets with a black snake whip was worth it despite losing $750. The government says 42 indicted men aimed to net about $1,000,000 from wild horse sales.
