learned that an organized gang of
horse thieves has lately made Il a

At this time of the year horses are
allowed TO run en- the prairie and

search would be made for them. TAX
ing advantage Of this, the gang located
ar a deserted ranch in northeastern
Sully county and made it their head
quarters for several DAYS while they
selected horses over n large area, tax
lng several nights for this work and
choosing only the best and most valu-
able animals. They too Il bunch OF
ahout 100 horses and started for
North Dakota.
At Cand0 two OF the party, Frank
NcNutt and Charles Owen, were cap
tured, with fifteen of the horses. but
McNutt escaped from the constables in
charge of him, and, regaining seven of
the horses, started for the Canada line,
ard as he had several hours the start
Of the 0tficpr9, he undoubtedly got
across the border. The other parties
charged with being implicated III the
deal are j, +. Fox and j. w. Gilpin.
Depredati0ns on Il smaller scale have
become numerous in the section of the
country where they live and IA strong
effort will Ike made To round them all
up and call a halt Oh their works.
There is likely 10 be trouble between
the gang and The settlers unless the
officers are able to interfere.
