Mason City Special: Sheriff Rosecrans
has arrived here alters week tripin search
OF horse thieves, who successfully operated
hete. and reported that he followed
them to Boone, where no .ost all trace OF
them in the woods. In the vicinity OF Boone
IS n dense forest covering upwards
OF fifty acres, and this IL known TO be the
rendezvous OF gangs OF the most desperate
thieves, desperadoss and contcricitcrs in
the Northwest. Recently Des Moines officers
found a oonterfeiter's fun outfit there, but
notice OF the descent OF the officers was given
the gang aud they safely hid in the recesscs
OF the woods. The sheriff states that ofthe
many hundred stolen horses traced to this
forest mot one has ever been recovered. ex.
cept when u raid was made by a militia
company - few years ago, when thirteen
horses were recovered and Identified by their
owners. This unsavory community vir-

forcibIe remonstranee means the destruc.
ton OF all their belongings, II not themselves.
The principal raids for horses are made by
the gang early in the fall, and the animals
are kept during the winter ia underground
stables, and in the spring taken in mis-.
matched pairs to the nearest market and
sold. Eight horses stolen in Cerro Gordo
county within 2 months. are reasonably be-
lived TO be now in the possession oil these
knights OF the forest, and there is consider
able talS OF appealing TO the governor for
military and TO secure their recovery and
arrest OF the freebooters, as the civil au'
thorities are powerless and at the mercy
OF the gang when once deep in the woods,
and consequently timid about venturins
there.

Railroads Troubled by Sparks.

Washington Special:-The special force
Of clerks at work ON the adjustment OF
the Winona n st. Peter land case has
reached a grand total. They find that road
has 70l 094 acres to which il is not en-.
titled under the new system OF adjusting
grants, The prospect IL good for a lively
fight In congress this winter on all the
land grants. The forthcoming rey5ort
OF Land Commissioner Sparks will set
the ball rolling. The ~overhauling that has
been going on in the railroad division has
afforded a great deal OF information which
the commissioner has put in his report, and
he states things in the plainest language
Imaginable, Some railroad people viii be
tempted 20 institute suits for libel when
they read Gen. Sparks account OF their
transactions. The report is exceedingly
long, quite startling and a good support is
predicted Tor the reforms he urges. Tie
president and Secretary Lamar are pledg.
ed to reinforce the commissioner as Iaf
az their powers extend.
