hOrsethieving was so common in this
country that this association was
formed by the farmers for their mu-
tual protection and notices were placed
to run continually in almost every
paper in the county reading:
"HorsethieveS and felons, take no
tice! The Lakeside Anti-Hrosethief as
sociatiOn has been organized to pursue
you and secure your arrest and cOnvic-

members. Many speedy captures were

SCENE WAS AN APPALLING ONE
Seventeen COrpses Taken Out of the Tan
gle by the Wrsckers.

The scene in the Grand Trunk yards
after the collision was an appalling
one. The wreckage of an engine and
four cars was strewn about. while the
shrieks of the injured victims and the
believing of the frightened animals
could be heard above the hiss of es-
Gaping steam and the excited shouts
of the rescuerS Six of the injured
died at the hospital before 2:30 p. IN.
When the wrecking train crews had
finished pulling to pieces the tangled
and broken cars. seventeen dead men
were lying on the grass awaiting re-
mOval to the morgue. \ majority of
them were killed while asleep. The
circus performers were on the rear of
the moving train and escaped injury.
Escaping steam and the screams Of
those pinned in the wreck made q hor-
rifying spectacle in the gray of the
early morning when the trainmen in
the yards and the aroused tOwnpeople
reached the scene. The fire whistle
was sounded and the whole town was
aroused. The rescuers went to work
without waiting for tools TO extricate
the victims. A wrecking crew is kept
in the yards here, and it was on the
scene I'm a few minutes. All the ply
sicians and trained nurses in town
were called, and these in nearby
places were rushed to the scene on
hand cars. The Hotel Richelieu was
converted into a temporary hospital
The dead. many of them so terribly
mansled that Identification seemed i'm
possible, were laid on the greensward
a short distance from the wreck One
of the wrecked cars of the second sec
ton was occupied by five elephants
and several camels. One of the ele-
