HORSE THIEVES ABROAD.
An Organized Band Thought to Be at
Work in Central Kansas.

Hutchinson, Aug almost every
day the city marshal and sheriff receive
descriptions of horses stolen in central
Kansas. Reno and adjoining counties
appear to be the chosen field of an
active gang of horse thieves.
Several have been stolen from the city
and they are never heard of afterwards
and no cleW to the thieves can be dis
covered. The officers believe that a
regular organized gang is doing bust
ness in this section. Some nights as
high as half a dozen horses are stolen.
Descriptions are sent to city and county
officers all over the state, but no trace
of the missing animals are ever dis
covered.
