Oath-Bound Secret Organization Of
"Rustlers" Uncovered by Con-
=" LESSONS Of Indians.
Stockmen Threatened With Assassi-

and Keep Still.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal. - ~
Oacoma, S. D., June 15.-In the confess
sion of Claude Eagle Pipe, Henry Pipe,
William Black Bull and Moses Goodvoice.
Indians charged with rustling horses and
cattle, the officers of Lyman county have
secured evidence telling the story of an
oathbound secret organization of rustlers
known as the "Circle Society," The con-
fessions were secured by Detective c. H.
Will1ie, a special officer of the South Da-
kota Stockmen's association, who, dis
guised as a rustler, learned the secrets
of the society. The Indians confessed
separately but their stories are entirely
consistent. .-
In the Circle society men were required
to take an oath of secrecy and loyalty,
and in many instances respectable stock
men were compelled to join for self-pro-
lection, some having been threatened with
ASA ssination if they did not.
The headquarters of the circle were at
the ranch of a prominent stockman
eighty-five miles west of here. A mem
Der of the society stealing a bunch of
animals would hurry them to the nearest
point in the circle, where the brand
was worked over. The stock would then
be hurried to the next in the chain, the
first giving a bill of sale. The stock would
probably change hands in this way sew
eral times and at last would be sold to
an innocent purchaser for their real value.
The money was always divided proper
tionately among the members of the So
ciety.
An officer on the trail of theft would
be referred along the line till he came
to the real thief, who would say he got
the stock from Indian, giving his name.
This Indian would refer the officer to an
other Indian, and he to a third, and so
on till the trail was lost.
Frequently, when hard pressed, the
thieves would shut the stock. cut off
the ears and destroy the brands. Frank
McCluskey, ranchman near Battole
Creek, has lost seven horses during the
past few weeks. His race horse, Slim
Neck" was recently stolen, and Detective
Will1ie found the carcass of the animal
in a creek bed. The animal had been put
In mourning as a special warning to Nc
| Cluskey, for whom the gang entertained
the most bitter hatred.
Ranchman Richardson has lost twenty
| the ears and brands cut off when the
rustlers were hard pressed. Colonel G.
p. Jordan Indian trader at Rosebud
Agency, has lost $50 cattle the past year,
and recently thirty-five horses owned by
Postma ster Custer Of Rosebud were poi
soned.
| The thieves have lately put a bounty
| of $500 on the head of one of the Han
| son brothers, who have defied the organi-
zation. The information in possession OF
] the officials has not all been given out
as it is expected several rustlers will be
arrested. Many of these, however, hear
ing of the confessions, are fleeing.

THE VALUE OF THE AMERICAN HEN.
Leslie's Week.

The growth of the poultry industry in this
country Is one of the wonders Of the time. As
producer of wealth, the American hen is
marvel. To illustrate the increased earning
powers Of this Industrious autocrat of the barn
yard, 1t may be stated that in Missouri, during
the last fiscal year, the sum derived from the
sale of youltry and eggs ran ST, 600 ahead Of
all other products of the state combined. The
totals show that the old hen, neglected and left
by the farmer to forage for herself while he de-
voted his attention to the field crops outstripped
them all, including corn wheat, oats, fax, tilno-
thy seed clover seed, millet seed, cane seed.
castor beans, cotton seed, tobacco broom corn,
hay and straw.
