be more of Il police than a military

HORSE THIEVES In
SOUTHERN COLORADO

Lamar. Colo, March 22.-CDenver
News Special.)-Sheriff Tate and w.
e.. Russell arrived yesterday morning
from Guthrie, Oklahoma, having In
custody John f. Hodges, who is be
lieved to be the head of a well-organ-
iZed band of horse thieves which a
for years carried oil large operations
in this part of Colorado.
The charge on which Hodges was
arrested was the theft last fall of a
bunch of thil.y horses belonging TO
Russell and Edwards of his place.
-Four others are accused in connection
with this crime and will coon be
lodged behind the bars. Hodges
seemed to have n great @ of back
ing and fought hard against requlsl-
tion. When this failed his lawyers at
tempted to get him out on a writ or
habeas corpus. Colonel Temple Hous-
ton. attorney of the oklahoma Stock
mems Association. went from Wood
ward to Guthrie and fought the pris-
oner's counsel at every point. Horse
men and cattle men are very much
pleased over the arrest, believing that
the right man has been captured. Mr..
Russell spent several weeks in Okla
homa working up the case before
Hodges was "apprehended.
The gang of which Hodges is be
lieved to be the head and brains stole
by wholesale from the stockmen of
this section and drove Ii animals 80
a thieves rendezvous in the broken
country of No Mans Land, now Beav-
er county. Oklahoma, almost due
south IF Lamar, where officers hardly
ever penetrated. From this point the
horses were driven in small punches TO
she thickly settled sections of eastern
Oklahoma and there disposed of
through agents to the farms and
townspeople.
AS a rule, the gang confined its OPP
crations to range horses and cattle, but
sometimes n farmers animals were
taken also. Ii is impossible to say
how many Colorado horses and cattle
have been stolen and disposed of in
this manner, but their aggregate value
is many thousands of dollars. Hodges
is now in the county Jail awaiting trial
at the April term of court.

In August, then bud, and bloom again
In October: while those on the other
