Ranch Extends Into Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona
When Fred Terron, a, stockman, went to Kansas City with a herd of
cattle he for a time was puzzled as to what state to register from. He
explained that he lived in four states - Colorado. New Mexico, Utah and
Arizona—his ranch extending into all four and his house standing on the
point where they meet. Mr. Terron eats his meals in Colorado, sleeps in
Utah, has his "best room'" in New Mexico, and his kitchen extends Into
Arizona. Mr. Terron gets his mail at Cortez. Colo. but votes in Utah,
because he sleeps in that state. His legal business he does at the
county seat of Apache county, Ariz., because most of his ranch lies in
that state. The windmill which pumps water for his stock Is in New
Mexico, but the trough is in Arizona.
