The democratic ticket was not

The republican party of Audrain
had better go west or tie on to the

ANTI.HORSE THIEF ASSOCIATION

Correspondence OF the Ledger. r
WORCESTER, Mo-. Nov. 7.-Your
news items showing that horse-thieyes
are more than usually active, suggest
that some information about the eNa-
tional Anti Horse Thief Association"
might be acceptable.
The organisation is secret 80 far as
is necessary to efficient work, Of
which the foremost is to hunt down,
arrest and convict, according to law,
any thief who may rob one of its
members.
1t holds all members at such duty
subordinate to a selected committee
of old and cool heads, and, while very
careful not to transgress the laws,
will follow up a thief with men and
money with a promptness and vigor
that no individual can display. In
short, it never lets go, but brings
home the horse and puts the thief
where he belongs.
The order, although national in ln-
tent, is mostly western in fact, being
strongest in Iowa and Missouri. The
lodges number well up in hundreds
and its members by thousands. ]. J..
Suter, of Palmyra, is president of the
Grand Lodge Of Missouri. Any
twelve men, good and true, can or
ganize a lodge with little difficulty
sitter corresponding with him, and
showing themselves worthy, thereby
securing the cooperation Of the
whole order.
The government is simple; each
lodge takes care Of itself financially,
and the whole order furnishes men II
needed.
There is a large and vigorous lodge
in the eastern part of Audrain coun-
ty numbering among its members
many OF our best of our farmers. 1
give You the officers: Worthy Presi-
dent, w. T. Lott; Vice President,
s. E. Kendall; Treasury, Douglas
Marray; Marshal. NJ. f. Kunkel;
Financial Secretary, r. f. Day Sec
rotary, VIM. Llewellyn. The lodge
meets at the Dye school house on the
Monday before full moon.
Additional lodges in other parts Of
the county would soon induce the
hight-riding gentry to give Andrsin
the go-by. w. Z.
