changes in his coursc-hc traced him to

Joining counties, who had lost valuable
animals, hearing Of this recovery. went
into the same neighborhood to look for
their lost property, and in their invests
gation found fraternity Of eight broth
srs living on Oil Creek, who had formed
an organized band OF horse thieves, and
who have been extending their opera
tiohs into all the counties around them.
The owners found several of their horses,
stolen severol months ago, in the hands
of the clan There were twelve or fif-
teen other horses, still held by them,
which have probably, been stolen from
parties at a distance. 1t is supposed
they have numerous confederates through

The thieves make no resistance ito the
owners taking their horses, but give
them up cbeerfully- thinking, doubtless,
they will evade a prosecution. Perry
