RUFUS YOUNG
A Man Who Passed His Life In Steal
Ing Horses.

A Man Who Passed HIS Life In Stoni-
Ing Horses.
The career of Rufus Young, the horse
thief who died at the Rutland coun-
ty jail yesterday, says the Rutland
Herald, is typical enough to be more
than q curiosity. 1t is no sporadic
case. Years ago In New York State
he ran hotel; but this was only his
avocation. His vocation was that of
horse thief. His hotel was only a
side issue. He was the leader OF a
gang of men who picked up other peo-
Pies horses and sold them. 1t could
hardly be said that Young had a pas
sion for making money. He never
made any amount of money at stealing
horses, and he spent at least thirty
two years Of his life in prison as a
penalty for plying his trade. He SIM
ply had propensity for taking horses
wherever found. He probably never
tried to break into a jewelry store
nor a bank, nor was he ever known
to hold up q lonely traveller or to
adroitly touch a mans leather for his
money" Young was after horses, and
he wanted to sell them, too, the mo-
ment he captured one. He finished
twenty-five year term In prison less
than two months ago, and probably
half a dozen times between that and
his death he broke into barns in search
Of horses.
We would say that Young was men,
tally sick. We do not think that he was
amenable to religious instruction So
far as horses are concerned, he had
no sense Of right and wrong. He was
beyond the influence of prayer or NOR.
al tuition. He needed a doctor rather
than a minister. Why should he not
have been placed In a hospital for in
curables rather than in prison
Scientists tell us that the criminal i'm
pulse runs In families. Young's dis
ease, If we may so term It, may have
been case of atavism, a revival or
recrudescence Of a criminal DISPOSE
ton that could be traced back to his
ancestors. In that event the person to
punish would be Young's great-grand-
father, perhaps, and not him. He need
ed medical treatment and care. We
wonder whether the world will so de.
velop In wisdom on these matters that
he insane criminals will be eventually
from the vicious and placed
where they cannot harm the commu
,ity.
