Thank you, Don Leonardo, but I may not accept a gift from you, my Id cows, bulls, two-year-o- heifers and ld these. So Hamilton L. Henley's Jess Hubbell, sent Joel Wade, to a Los Angeles address, a check based on this count and the price agreed upon for the offic- e-manager, various classes of cattle. When his May bank statement came in with the dead checks, Hamilton L. Henley examined the check he had issued to Joel Wade and discovered it had been deposited in a bank in Blythe, California. In discussing the son at dinner that Wades with his he opined that customarily a man resides close to where he banks wherefore Blythe, just across the Colorado River from Arizona, was too close for comfort. Thereupon Len recalled Pedro Ortiz had told him that the man Pedro had killed on the Wagon Wheel had had a letter on his person addressed to- - Randall H. Wall, Earp, California, a tiny settlement about thirty miles up river from Blythe, and that, judging by their outfits which Pedro had captured, Wall and his two companions that day were from California. This seemed to argue that the Wade brothers must have had a connection across the river and that the connection had not been broken when they sold out and, ostensibly, left Arizona. A few days later Len motored over to Earp, California, and made discreet inquiry of the postmaster for Randall H. Wall. He was in- - night mental one.

Wall was the younger brother of one Morton P. Wall, and both had a ranch about five miles They had homesteaded a quarter section each of splendid desert land fronting on the river, cleared it and planted it to alfalfa, which they irrigated with water pumped from the Colorado. The postmaster hadnt seen Randall H. Wall for perhaps two months. The brothers sold considerable baled alfalfa which they trucked into the Los Angeles market, but they also fed a great deal of it to cattle, augmenting the alfalfa with cotton seed cake and sugar beet pulp which their trucks hauled in from Los Angeles on their return trips after delivering baled hay. The postmaster had seen truck loads of feeder steers passing through town on the Wall trucks; he knew they bought feeders over in Arizona, fattened them at their ranch and then sold them as baby beef At the Los Angeles stock yards. Randall Wall had once told him they figured on feeding a critter ninety days and putting two hundred pounds on him. Len drove up a rough single track desert road that paralleled the river until he came to the. Wall ranch, a half section of alfalfa stretching from some low hills to the river. He turned in a road that led through the center of the Fanch to and noticed that this the road was about forty feet wide and fenced on both sides. In the yard of the ranch a man tinkering at the motor of a huge cattle truck came over and asked Len curtly what he wanted. Len Ranreplied that he wanted to see and dall H. Wall on a private matter was informed that RandaH H. Wall had sold out his interest In the ranch and moved to Oregon.
