Little did they know that some four hours later, Carver and a close friend, Russell Ftke, 26, would help apprehend a cattle rustling suspect at gunpoint about one-fourth of a mile north of the lake. And little did they know that Carver and Fike would be entitled to $950 in "reward money Bertie's Intuition.

"I really feel sorry for the guy," admitted Carver, as Bertie nodded In agreement. They were referring to Ned Rodney Bayalnger, a41-year-old tool and dye maker from' Los Angeles. Bayslnger was found guilty of cattle rustling and will be sentenced today at 1:30 p.m. in Fresno County Superior Court. Reportedly, Carver and Flke will share a $750 California Cattlemen's Association reward and a $200 California SUte Farm Bureau, reward.
