DILLY'S HORSE STOLEN
While Owner syas Joining Horse
Thief Association.


John Oily Of Fairmount township IN
Butler county joined the Whitewater An
ti-Horse Thief association night before
last, and yesterday the association had
about fifty men out hunting fer Mr.. Dill
~ horses, which had been stolen in his
absence.
It has begun to be noised around that
the horse-thkves are afraid to steal
horses from this association and the
farmers are joining the association TO
protect themselves against the horse
thieves. Mr.. Oily believed this and that
was the reason that he Joined the asso-
citation. He was the owner Of q mighty
fine team Of farm horses and ne had no
desire to have them stolen, but people
can imagine his surprise when he found
out that at the very time that he was be-
ing initiated into the mysteries of the
Whitewater Anti-Horse Thief Association
the horse thieves were taking his fine
horses out Of his pasture field and riding
them of toward the Flint hills.
The association was doing its best to
recover Mr.. DfIly's horses. They were
sending cards and telephone messages in
every direction notifying officers Of the
theft and Offering q reward for the recov-
cry OF the horses and the arrest OF the
thieves.
Deacon Wilson claims that they have
an anti-horse thief association in this
county and that several hundred farmers
belong to it. He says not a member Of
the association has lost horse for more
than two years He thinks that the horse
thieves manage to find out who belongs
to the association and that they do not
steal their horses, because they know
they Will be more likely to be captured
than If they stole a horse from a man
who did not have an association at his
back. He thinks that the way to stop
horse stealing is to make it pretty certain
that the man who steals a horse will be
certain to land in the penitentiary.
Some OF the Butler county people who
were here yesterday hunting for Mr.. Dill
Iy's horses said that he had made up his
mind that somebody was trying to steal
his horses and that was the reason he
had joined the association. The farmers
who belong to the association claim that
it is not their intention to take the law
into their own hands and mete out justice
to the men who steal their horses, but
rather to assist the regularly constituted
authorities to enforce the law and send
the thieves to the penitentiary. 1t is
said that these anti-horse thief assOcia-
tions are organized all over the west and
that they are liable to recover their horses
even If the thief who steals them man
ages 70 get them into another state be-
fore they are captured.

SLEPT ON The TRACK
Former, Wichita Packing House Man
Killed Near POnea.

D
Killed Near POnea.
A young man named Henry Crabtree
was run over and instantly killed by the
Santa Fe freight train at White Eagle o.
T., night before last. Crabtree was en-
ployed q short time ago n the packing
house IN this city and was at the time OF
the accident on his way to his home at
Fort Worth, Texas. He was in the COM
pany Of another man named Crowley,
and it has not been learned where this
man came from The two were riding
freight trains and had evidently missed a
ride out of Ponca City and were walking
to White Eagle. They had stopped on
the road for nights sleep and young
Crabtree had made pillow out of bun
die he carried and had lain down between
the tracks. At least this is the story that
the man Crowley tells. He says that he
did not know at the time that the young
man was on the track; that he went to
sleep near the rails and that he was
awakened when the train went through
and looked around for his compa anton. He
found his coat and hat, and he hunted a
little further and found the mans body.
He Immediately hurried into White Eagle
and notified the station agent. A couple
Of men were sent out with lanterns and
a hand-car and the body was taken to
White Eagle. It was found that the booy
was crushed in fearful shape and that
the clothes were nearly all torn off. The
top Of the skull was crushed Ike an egg
shell and the arms and legs were broken
in a dozen places. The body was taken
to Ponca City and turned over to the
county authorities and the man Crowley
was held as q witness.

HAD A GOOD APPETITE.
Nine Fishermen who ate 300 Pounds
of Fish i'm Two Gays

The Silver Top Fishing club returned
last night from a two days outing on the
classic banks of Four Mile creek. They
came home loaded down with fish-stories.
The party consisted Of Albert Spar OF
Kansas City, Ed. Gleeson and Fred Bell
of Arkansas City and Henry Schnitzier.
W. II. Walk. Frank Gard. John Noble.
VIII Farris and Otto Kopplin Of this city.
Combined they are said to have caught
about 500 pounds of fishes pounds OF
crawdads. a pound Of mud-cat, a three
ounce frog and a black bass over whose
weight there is a dispute. the best au-
thority saying it weighed fully thirteen
ounces. This Is the story they tell over
on Market street and which the fishermen
vigorously deny. They say they caught
800 pounds Of good fish, but that they ate
it, which shows that they had a good ap-
petite to get away with more than sixteen
pounds per fisherman per day.

Carried by a Coolie.

Describing in the Century "A Little
Known Country of ASIA Mrs. Lockwood
de Forest tells how in Nepaul, she rode
one night in a basket carried by coolie.
II was trying to think that l could walk
the whole way. although had reached my
limit In the morning, when a coolie sug-
gested that he could carry me In q basket.
It was shaped like a v, and he filled 1t
with old, very dirty bags, which I was
careful not to examine. and my blanket
table or safe, but there was no time to
object to Inconvenience, so we started OF
at 4:30 in the afternoon. The path wound
around the side of mountain, the river
so feet below. The trees were high. covered
with vines. making such dense thicket
that a stone thrown could hardly have
reached the ground. This was the cele-
brated Terai, full Of elephants. tigers,
rhinoceroses, snakes and fever. The road
was so broken that In many places It was
merely crumbling ledge.
II at last mounted my basket. The coolie
carried 1t on the crown of his head, steadied
by strap passed around the basket and
across his forehead. He walked with his
head bent down, as II he were going to butt
into some one. I was perched on top of the
basket, bent double. with nothing to hold
on to, and my feet dangling. could not
see where he was going, whether the next
step would be up a steep rock, or sliding
through Shiny mud to the bed Of the river.
Usually was W0DDIn8 on the eUSe OF Cne
precipice. The moonlight could not reach
us; we were shut In by the thicket of vines,
and seemed to be in long. narrow cave
lighted by great firefies, which shone like
the eyes of wild beasts, reminding us that
we had been told not to take this march
by night. 1t became bitterly cold, and when
1 was so stiff that feared falling off the
basket, was let down; vigorous kick was
the only signal that seemed to be under
stood. Our lunch basket coolie had gone
astray, and we were SO cold and hungry
that we longed to join the groups of coolies
encamped for the night, sitting about a big
fire, with their great bales of cotton goods
piled up in circle around them. l won
dered why my coolie did not make OF, for
he must have disliked it as much as did,
and yet he was always ready to have me
mount again.
At midnight we reached rest-house. but
1t was dirty, and 80 full of animals and
men that there was hardly room for us to
sit even on the cold stone steps. At last,
when we were desperate, the lunch basket
appeared. We warmed can of soup, and
the welcome news arrived that doolies
(chairs on poles). had come for US. There
were six men to each doolie, who pushed
and pulled us straight up mountain, over
a path, il there was one, covered with loose
rolling stones. We reached the bungalow
at 2 o'clock in the morning.
