ganized during the year, with over TOO
members. Throughout Indian Terri
tory the increase has been even great
er. In. the territorial division of the
national association there Is one anti
horse thief lodge to every 60 square
miles: in Kansas. one to every ZIG
square miles; in Oklahoma alone one
to every 120 square miles; Pawnee
county has lodge to every 20 square
miles; Lincoln and Pottawatomie
county. one to every IS square miles;
Logan one to every 3S. and Greer
county one to every lao.
During the past year the association
has aided in the capture of 137 horse
thieves and the recovery of $4,000
worth OF stolen animals. There were
124 horses stolen and 1873 recovered,
some of them being stolen during the
previous year. Out of the 1877 thieves
captured 1T have been convicted.
A great part OF the prominence at
tanned by Kirkwood as president of
the association and as the most In
trepid leader IN the two territories is
due to Traveller" black stallion,
which has been In Kirkwood's posses
sion for many years. He is said to be
able to scent horse thief for several
miles, and he is more widely known in
Oklahoma than any other animal in
the territory. The horse has carried

Guthrie, Okla.--In the two terri
tories, soon to be united as one state
under the name Of Oklahoma, the
Anti-Horse Thief association has
grown in numbers and importance,
and to-day James s. Kirkwood, Of
Guthrie, Is the head of an army OF
10000 men, all residents Of Oklahoma
and Indian Territory, each man Of
whom is subject to immediate service
at any time to take the trail and aid
in the capture Of the festive horse
thief.
With the advance Of civilization
across the western prairies the horse
thief and his band have been buffeted
and beaten until they bid fair to take
their places in obscurity with the buff
falo, deer and antelope. Instead Of
the vast expanses of prairies which af-
forded ample avenue of escape for the
horse thief and his gang of marauders,
the plains are now dotted with towns,
in each of which Is located telegraph
instrument, device which has done
moree to eradicate the horse thief and
his methods than any other agent
The passing of the horse thief in
Oklahoma can be credited largely to
the efforts of the Anti-Horse Thief as
ISOLATION, which now has close to 1000
lodges in Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tory. The National Anti-Horse Thief
association was organized in northern
Missouri AZ years ago, and it ulti-
mately extended its membership into
all Of the middle and western states
and territories.
During the past year in Oklahoma
alone there were organized 131 new
lodges. with membership of $4,000
In this county II new lodges were or

complishments, whose graces had won
sad end that befell her cast a deep
shadow over the home where peace
and happiness had reigned supreme.
At the time the Erie railroad was
building its great pier out into the
Hudson a contractor from the south
came here in connection with the en-
terprise and lived for some time at
Piermont, then bustling town. His
son, a young STRIPPING of 10, soon be-
came acquainted with Catherine and
during the summer months the two
became insperable friends After a
time they became engaged. Later on.
when the young sutton approached the
old gentleman for his daughters hand,
the question came up as to what money
the young man had behind him. For
tune had not been financially generous
to the young fellow and he had moth
ing to offer but his protection and
love. This not being sufficient price
sor his daughter their marriage was
refused Forbidden TO see him any
longer the young girl was seldom seen
afterward. From her window, whore
she sat alone at night looking silently
into the moonlight, she could see the
path where they had so many times
strolled together and where they had
often talked over their future plans.
Many reports we're rumored about
the village concerning her strange
death. Some say that she had been
locked up in a little room at the cop
Of the house, where she pinned away
and died from grief. and still others
said that she became respondent and
starved herself to death. She was in
TERED in a marble coffin and was the
first to enter the family tomb which
had been built in the mountain side.
In later years, when William Ferdon
died, it was said that in his will he
made request that his coffin be borne
to the tomb by negroes, as he wished
no white man ever to enter the sacred
chamber where his daughters body lay.
Another story is that when they car
ried his coffin into the tomb they 40
cidentally knocked against the one
where the daughters body lay exposed
20 view through the glass lid, and the
Jar caused the body, which had been
embalmed, to fall to dust A beautiful
portrait of Catherine Ferdon still
hangs upon the fall in the old mansion.
