Horse Stealing on Western Ranges.

Horse stealing on the western
ranges is said to be very prevalent,
and to fiuctuate according to the rise
and fall in the price of horses. When
horses are low the horse thief has tc
go into some other business for time
since it does not pay him TO deal in
horses after his peculiar methods. But
as soon as the price gets high the
stealing recommences with renewed
vigor. This is said to be serious cu,
in the profits Of the horse raising busi-
ness. The better the breeding of the
horses the more likely they are to be
stolen. During the past few years, OF
perhaps we should say during the last
ten years, there has been a movement
among the breeders of western horses
to improve their stock. Expensive
stations have been purchased in the
east and have been bred to the com
mon mare of the plains. This process
has resulted in course of time in pro-
ducing some very fine range stock.
This stock makes good material for
the horse thief

itentiary for life, but he was not I'M
prisoned until he had made one es-
cape, engaged in deadly fight and had
been wounded. In November of last
year he was taken to the boiler-room
of the prison to make some repairs,
which on account of his mechanical
skill he was frequently called upon to
do. Being left alone a few minutes he
crawled out of coal hole, reached the
sidewalk and started for liberty. His
old habits Immediately came into play,
for he needed a suit of citizens
clothes to take the place of his stripes
and conceal his identity as a jail bird.
After going a short distance his prac-
ticed eye noticed a house whose cur
tains indicated that the family was alb
sent. He unhesitatingly broke into it,
changed his prison garb for newly
made suit and came forth well dis
guised. He got out of the neighbor-
hood of the penitentiary as quickly as
possible, stole horse and buggy from
farmers barn and drove overland for
his old haunts. A reward of 1880
was offered for his capture by the
Ohio authorities. Finally one day last
week he was overpowered by num-
ber of officers, but not before he had
shot two of them.

Held Up His Captor.

On another occasion the bandit was
arrested ON the streets of Huntington,
Ind. He accompanied the marshal
without any show Of resistance, but at
the door of the jail he threw OF the
mask of meekness. Whipping out re-
volver he made the officer back up
against the wall and hold up his hands.
The desperate backed away some dis
tance and took to his heels The mar
shal started in pursuit, firing his re-
volver as he ran, but the daring Grim
inal escaped the bullets and fled to
safety.
1t was Kuhns' lot to be in jail In
southern Michigan at one time, but he
broke out and started for Indiana. On
the way he turned burglar, entered
farmhouse and stole the wedding suit
of a young man who was to be mar
ried the next day. The disconsolate
swain and his friends started in pur-
suit, overlook the thief on the high
way and surrounded him. When the
came uncomfortably close the fugitive
displayed his eyer-ready weapon and
shouted:
Better make gap in that circle un-
less some Of you want to get hurt"
The gap was made, and the thief
went his way without further moles-
tation. He occasionally visited his
father and did little work on the pa
ternal farm.

About ten years ago he was convicted
Of the murder of William Campu near

THE RUSSIAN COSSACKS
The Only Way to Become One of Them
Is by Inheritance.

The Only Way to Become One of Them
Is by Inheritance.
The Cossacks form a branch of the
Russian service which has no parallel
in any other army in the world. They
are irregular cavalry. The son Of
Cossack is Cossack as soon as he is
born, and is taught the use of arms
and the traditions Of his warrior race
all through his boyhood. So exclusive
is this hereditary military caste that
it is almost impossible for an officer
OF the regular army, no matter how
high his rank, to secure commission
in Cossack regiment unless he has
inherited the right to such command.
Several hundred years ago the Co.'S
sacks were lawless bands of free
hooters living on the banks Of the
Don and the Dneiper in Russia. When
this territory was absorbed into the
Russian dominions the Cars were
confronted with the problem of turn
ing these turbulent people into good
citizens They had always been trained
to martial life and the use of arms,
so the most natural and the best solu-
tion of the problem seemed to be to
turn them all into soldiers. The ex-
pertinent proved a great success.
They are organized into regiments,
but only certain of the officers are on
duty all the time. Each man gets his
horse and small pay from the gov
ernment when not on active duty, and
Is allowed to settle down and to rear
a family. When the government call
comes, however. the Cossack must
give immediate obedience, and some
times there Is the necessity of his be-
ing kept many years in the field.
There are many of these regiments in
Siberia. They came in with the first
adventurers and settlers, and did much
to wrest these lands from the primitive
inhabitants.

Tn. Brood sow's Capacity for Work.


There is wide difference of opin-
ion as to the amoun+ of work a SOW
should do, the limit to her usefulness,
etc. One asserts that she can only
give the most profitable returns when
she produces one litter year; another
that two litters are the most profit
able, and still few others that she
should do even more than this, making
1t possible by weaving the pigs very
young, and keeping on the farm an or
phan host, race Of yearlings. Others
believe that three litters in two years
is the proper limit. One litter a year
Is needless and costly limit to the
capacity Of the SOW. says John M.
Jamison in Country Gentleman. Two
litters strictly within the limit Of a
year are a little beyond the capacity
of the SOW in the hands of the general
farmer, while three litters In two years
is hardly UP to what she can profitab. y
do for her owner.

The escaped criminal, Marvin
Kuhns, who was captured the other
day in Indiana and returned to the
Ohio penitentiary at Columbus, from
which he had unexpectedly made his
departure. may properly be called the
Modern Dick Turpin. Horse thief, jail
bird, bandit, murderer, and outlaw, he
has had a career of crime and escapes
that puts the dime novelist to shame.
Every crime from the taking Of an
others property to the killing of hu-
man being, can be properly charged
against him. He has escaped again and
again. He has attacked an officer with
his manacled hands and driven away
with his captor's wagon. He has been
surrounded and by his cool bravado
forced his pursuers to open a free
passage. He has stood off sheriff's
posses and shot them down. He has
driven judge, officers and witnesses
molested. In short, his daring has
equaled his wickedness. He is only 80
years old, and his desperate. lawless
career in highly civilized communities
has few parallels. He was a bad boy,
and since his seventeenth year there
has been no time in which he has not
been a prisoner or hunted by the Off
GERS of the law. He has served ten
years on life sentence.
Criminal Environment in Youth.
Noble county was the rendezvous
sixty years ago of horse thieves and
counterfeiters Traditions of their ex-
p1oits linger to this day and are cal
culated to influence wild, imaginative,
novel-reading boys. In his youth
Kuhns became thief and bully, and a
band of other turbulent spirits gathered
about him as their leader. The town
ship in which he lived is dotted with
small lakes which are surrounded by
forests, and these furnished his safe
hiding places when pursued. When he
was seventeen years old he stole
horse. Lodged in Jail, he plotted with
another criminal to escape. They at
tackled the sheriff, beat him into sense
lessness, took his keys and escaped.
Three officers cornered him, but he
knocked down two and eluded the
third. Ultimately he was captured and
sent to the prison at Michigan City for
two years. After serving this term he
went to Ohio, stole and sold horses,
was caught after while and brought
Delore a justice. The bandit listened
to the evidence quietly for an hour.
At an opportune moment he slow
ly rose from his seat and drew a re-
volver from each bootleg. At the point
Of these weapons he commanded JUS
tice, constables. witnesses and specta-
tors to move into an adjoining room,
they went pell-mell. He then locked
them in, concealed his revolvers and
strolled out, making good his escape.
Kuhns was once captured by two
officers near Columbus, and one of his
captors named Mahoney, undertook
the duty of driving him to that city to
be lodged In Jail. Mahoney had his
prisoner handcuffed, but did not know
his man. They rode side by side in a
buggy. The desperate waited quietly
until the officers attention was di-
verted. Then he sprang to his feet
and struck Mahoney a terrific blow on
the head. The officer was stunned, and
Kuhns, after dumping his captor into
the road, took his horse and carriage
and drove off, making good his escape.
