HORsETHIEF CONFESSES ALL.
Well Organized Gang Found in South
Dakota.

WATERTOWN, S. D., Sept. 22.-In
in Marshall county, the authorities be-
lieve they have brought to light a
large gang of organized horsethieves
operating in the northeastern portion
of the state.
In August there We're stolen from
William Lentz, a farmer living near
pete rig. Although the sheriff and
deputies Immediately gave chase, on
hot trail the thief managed to get
away in the wild and hilly country
northwest of Summit
A few days later a horse was stolen
in Grant county and almost at the
Friday night the sheriff of Marshall
county arrested at Neblen a man be-
lieved to be the thief who took the rig
in Codington county The sheriffs of
Codington. Roberts and Grant counties
were Immediately notified and the re-
suit was a three cOrnered fight for the
possession of the prisoner. While this
was in progress the Brtton sheriff
succeeded in inducing the prisoner to
confess.
The confession was startling in its
nature duplicating many relatives of
the prisoner and also giving the names
of several persons in five or six Of the
northeastern counties every one of
whom the prisoner says is a member
of an organized gang which has for
its purpose the taking of horses and
the the running of them into the hills
for safe keeping.
The aid and assistance given by
these confederates was responsible for
the first escape and the subsequent
successful thieving in Grant and Rob-
erts counties. Wholesale arrests are
likely to follow the confession Of the
thief

THE MIAN POLICY.
Secretary of War Root Makes n State
ment Concerning the Attitude
of This Country.

Washington, Jan. 13.-Shortly after a
cabinet meeting Secretary Root issued
the following statement regarding the
isthmian policy of the administration:
THE publication in Various quarters
of news indicating that the government
is preparing to send troops to the 18TH
mus to carry on military operations
against Colombia has been the source
of considerable annoyance to the exec
utive and to the war department. No
state OF war exists between the two
countries; no inauguration of HOSTILE
ties is contemplated by this government;
no preparation for war is being made.
1t is not believed by the president, nor
by the secretary of state, that any occa-
sion for the employment of troops on the
isthmus is likely to arise.
1T is difficult to believe that the au-
thorities in Bogota can be sc blinded by
passion and prejudice as to declare
war against us; and even if this ruinous
step should be taken by Colombia, this
government would be in no haste to re-
spond to her challenge. We have done
them no wrong; we would likeSto be of
service to them. and if they are wise
they will not put it out of our power to
help them by any act of rashness and
violence"
