A GANG OF HORSE THIEVES.
A Preacher calls a Camp Meeting I'm the
Interest Of the Horse Thieves.

IS. LOUIS, June 10.-Illinois officials have
recently discovered one of the most extensive
and formidable bands of horse thieves ever
organized In the West, and several of the
leaders have already been arrested. Ii had
long been known that such gang existed,
but nothing definite could be ascertained until
last Saturday, when William Twedall was
arrested by a vigilance committee at Kinks
vile, Mo-, on suspicion of being one of the
thieves. Twedall made confession showing
that the operations Of the gang extended
through Illinois and Missouri, and that several
persons heretofore of excellent reputation
were implicated. Among them are two men
named Richmond and Lowe who are respect
able citizens Of Havana, Ill. Lowe Is
preacher, and recently got up revival meet
Ing, which his confederates In crime attended
to steal horses. Both Lowe and Richmond
have been arrested, and are in jail at Havana.
The officials are In possession of the names
of numerous other members. who will doubt
less be arrested at once If they do not sue
coed In escaping from the country. The lead
ers OF the gang were located In Kansas City,
kirksyille, Havana, Quincy. and other towns
through Illinois and Missouri and between
the various places there We're operators whose
business was to transfer horses rapidly from
one point to another.
Besides horse-thievery, there are crimes of
robbery and forgery against the gang, whose
operations, 1t appears, have hardly been ex-
celled since the days Of Murrell.
