with thieves. Every week Of late we
have recorded one or moro cases Of horse
stealing, demonstrating, or something
attendant on these operations. We have
no doubt but . thoroughly organized band
Of robbers and assassins infest the country,
having members in every county. In the
sparsely populated counties North and

the people, who are moving to organize
societies for self protection and - .
means Of rendering justice to Villains. In
Wright county society Of the kind has
already been organized and officers elected.
It e high time that steps were taken for
the sQuslching Of this high-handed horse
stealing business. There should Be some
duleing in IL 10 summary justice. These
outlaws do not hesitate TO become murder
