One arrest has been made and Sheriff W. S. Willis and special deputies employed in curbing livestock thefts in this county are investigating theft of a quantity of wool from the Lee Henderson ranch over the weekend. One Mexican is being held in the county jail pending further investigation into the sale by the Mexican of 71 pounds of choice long wool. The Mexican claimed to have found the wool on the Barnhart Road. He sold the wool, a number of clips of fine long wool, to another Mexican and the latter sold it to a local dealer.
Mr. Henderson reported the theft of a quantity of wool from his barn on the ranch early this week. County officers have issued a warning to wool buyers that the purchase of wool under questionable circumstances, or from persons who cannot make satisfactory explanation of their possession of fleeces, may lay such purchase liable to prosecution as an accomplice in the theft, should it be proven theft.

A valuable file consisting of 131 copies of the National Geographic Magazine from 1920 to 1930 has been contributed to the Ozona High School library by Mr. and Mrs. Roger Dudley of Ozona; Supt. C. S. Denham announced this week. The donation is considered of great value to the library since the magazines of the period will supplement the file of this magazine of later years already a part of the library and contain material which is not now available in the library, Mr. Denham said. The schools plan to separate the magazine articles and file them according to subject, which makes them more useful and available. There are now 831 such articles from the National Geographic already filed in the library, Mi Denham said.

A warning to Crokett County ranchmen to use extreme care in handling sick domestic animals as a safeguard against possible rabies infection was passed on this week by County Agent Pete Jacoby from the veterinarian who was here Friday to inoculate Ozona dogs against the dread disease. Widespread outbreak of rabies in wildlife of this area has presented a menace to domestic animals and to man. Several reports of rabid cows and other domestic animals have been received lately, thus prompting the warning to ranchmen and their employees. One of the symptoms of rabies, Mr. Jacoby said, is a throat paralysis and ranchmen, in the case of a sick cow, for instance, might suspect a throat obstruction and attempt to explore the animal’s throat with their hands, thus exposing themselves to infection.
