The farmers of Hanson county have or
sanized a society for the protection Of their
horses and other animals against the depre-
dations of thieves, and already have 3 mem.
bership Of fifty. This is a move which.
should be duplicated BY every county on the
Jim. A little vigorous work would rid the
valley Of those provling pests who have in
the years of the past made this section the
field Of their thieving operations. In many
counties of the settled western states, anti
horse-thief societies have existed for years,
and these organizations Lave attained such
perfection that it is almost an impossibility
for any one to get away with stolen stock,
The best riders ofthe various localities hold
themselves in readiness to jump
into the saddle at a moments
notice and by their rapid movements every
member of the society is speedily notified
that q depreciation has been committed and
the entire force joins in the pursuit. A
system Of signals is also arranged by which
intelligence is communicated to sections il
advance of the fleeing thief and he is fire
quently cut off with his plumber when b
imagines that the only danger is miles be
hind him. The moral effect of an organ
ization of this nature serves a. a create
protection for property than locks and bari
No sagacious thief will venture into a CON
munity which is ever on the alert for sue
characters.

all sorts of petitions and for all kinds of

their ores cut without being dependent
