Texas Horse Thieves.

Why They Are Usually Lynchei
When Caught - An Extensiy.
Organization One Hundred
Thousand Horses stolen Withii
Three Years.
Austin Correspondence Galveston News
] The popular fury in the rura
districts against horse thieves is
Thought to be, by denizens of
cities, senseless and out Of pro.
Iportion to their offense. Why
when horSe-thicf is caught he
is generally strung up to the
first convenient limb, while the
homicide is carried to Jail with
favorable prospects of proving
self-dcfence and escaping pun
ishment, is very rlain to me
lsince / have looked somewhat
diligently into the incomplete
and unsatisfactory criminal sta
tistics of our State. There are
now some 750 indicted horse
thieves, fugitives from justice,
and perhaps half as many more
in jails and in the Peni;entlary.
But where one horse thief is
known and indicted, near about
one hundred get away with sto-
len horses, or at least where the
thief who steals one horse is
known and indicted one hun
dred horses are stolen and no
clue Of thief or horse is after
ward obtained. About Austin
they seem to be organized, and
succeed month after month in
GETTING AWAY WITH THE HoRs-
ES
OF farmers, stockmcn and city
people. The thieves are un-
known and the horses arc never
recovered. If their success here
is a criterion of their general
success throughout the State,
then the proportion Of one hum
dred successful steals to one
failure and exposure is certain
ly within the bounds of truth,
and on that hypothesis they
have stolen 100000 horses in
the last three years. The mag
nitude Of their operations, aud
the difficulty of checking them,
then, will explain the fury of
their victims against such as
fall into their hands. Know
ing their game to be desperate,
they prepare for extrcmitics, and
arc rarely caught without a fight
and blood-letting on both sides.
Hence, SheriffS are not usually
very enthusiastic in their pur-
suit. Owners of stolen stock
are about their only pursucrs,
and when oycrtaken by such
the reader will rcadily Nler that
due course Of law ts.H not be
had. I. Is believed tbs. the ex-
odus Of outlaws from the ca,-
tie districts of the West dril eli
to the country cast Of Colorado
by Halls police and the frontier
battalion, has given an increased
impetus to horse stealing, and
that an organized band of hun-
dreds are now operating in Mid
die Texas. The loss Of faln
stock in some localities is fear
full. Farms are rendered use
less, and families depending up
on crops see the plowing sea-
son passing away without be-
ing able to plant or sow.

A Strange Suit.

A Man Sues Church for Alienat
ing the Affections of His Wifi
and Receives $4,000 Damages
Bryan (Ohio) Exchange.
An interesting case has jus
been closed in the Court OF
Common Pleas Of this county
The case involved the question
OF the authority ofYChurch Of
State.
Joseph Lichty brought snii
against John Holdemanz and
others in SO, 900 damages, for
enticing his wife 10 abstain from
marital relations to him. Itap-
pears from the evidence that all
the parties were members of
The denomination called
"Church of God," a branch of
the Mennonites. In May, 1915,
the society Of which John
Lichty and his wife were mem
bers, for divers reasons not
shown ia Court, excommunica-
ted him and placed himunderthe
ban termed s'aYoidancc. This
means that the remaining mem
bers shall shan and avoid the
erring and excommnnicated
brother uatil lec repent and is
again received into the Church.
1t makes it the duty of the wife,
size being iuembeiy not to eat
al the same table with her hus-
band, nor talk with hial e exeept
when of absolute necessity;
neither to sleep with him, under
penalty of being expelled from
the Church aud being forever
lost for disobedience. She
could, however, keep house Tor
him and family, which consis-
ted of four children. This she
did for a year, he ia the mean-
time patiently and kindly try
ing to induce her to act the
wifely part with him. Bnt on
different occasions, when he had
nearly succeeded in winning her
back to him, these priests or
teachers would step in and warn
her that she could not take such
a step without the consent OF
the Church, and that if she did
her soul would be forever lost.
He then rented his farm and
moved away, to be from under
this influence, thinking his wife
would 60 with him; but this in
huence was brought to bear up
on her, and she would not leave
the Society.
Thus did these men Oh the
one hand seize upon the strong
est cord cf the human heart, re-
ligious zeal and faith, 10 keep
this wife from her husband, that
they might, on the other hand,
grasp the cords of human affec-
ton and love TO make q man
bow to the Church in which he
did not worship, They were
willing TO break up family
which had been maintained in
peace and love for sixteen years,
to compel this man to do their
bidding. They made their own
defense in Court, not believing
in lawyers. The Bible vas their
law-book, from which they read
in parts from Numbers to Rev
elation. Simon Mcnnil, Of Hol-
land, who lived in the sixteenth
century, was their commentator.
By the Bible they sought to
justify their course, and, under
the plea Of religious tolerance
guaranteed by the Constitn-
ton, claimed a verdict in their
favor. Itis perhaps safe to say
that the people and such a de-
fense was never before seen or
heard in the Courts of this
country. 1t was the sixteenth
and the nineteenth century face
to face. The testimony being
all in, and the arguments hav-
ing been made, the case went
to the jury, who soon brought
in a verdict giving $4,000 dam
ages to the plaintiff. The case
has excited much interest.
