country to adopt some more effective measure

shape of committee was organized last Fri
day night, at Jones school house, east Of
town, and already number numbers twenty
six members. Each person on joining pays
$500 into the treasury. The members are
divided into squads Of eight or ten men who
take turns il doing duty. Whenever horse
is stolen the entire committee may, but those
who are on duty must drop all other work
and pursue the thief until all other efforts
become plainly useless. While so occupied
they will be paid certain sum per day out
of the general treasury. If the horse is not
recovered within two months, three men will
be appointed who will appraise the horse
stolen and the owner will receive out of the
treasury 80 per cent. of the appraised value
If the horse should be recovered but has heen
damaged or blemished IN any manner, such
damage will be appraised and the owner re-
ceiye 80 per cent OF the appraisement.
