HORSE THIEVES.
Walker Bres. Are the Victims Of Gang
Of Horse Thieves. Reward Of $3.50
Offered.

Ten Head Of horses were stolen from the
Walker ranch on Turkey Greek about
the first Of the present month. The
horses were the property Of Hon. H. C..
Walker, L. T. Walker and Geo. r.
Walker. When they were first missed.
the Walker brothers thought they had
snayed away. They searched all the
pastures and ranches In western Barber
and as far as Greensburg and Coldwater
in Kiowa and Comanche counties and in
their search they got information tha,
convinced them that the horses were
stolen. They were seen driven once in
Kiowa county and once In western Bar
Der.
Two rewards are offered: 500 for
information leading to the return Of al
the animals or $40 for each animal re-
covered, and $50 for the arrest and con-
, w;cdon Of the thief The animals are
described as follows:
iron gray horse 4 years old, right cal
split close to point, wire cut on left from
foot iron gray mare 4 years old, lgh
strip in forehead. ! 3-year-old dark
iron gray mare. lyearling bay horse colt
dark name and tail. yearling black
mare colt, one white hind foot. Straw.
berry roam mare and colt, mare BRANDED
10 on left thigh. | black 3-yeal
old horse branded H on left jaw.
dark bay yearling colt, reached name anc
tail bobbed. lbay mare, both ear
cropped, branded 90 on left thigh.
Horse stealing and cattle stealing ha
been increasing in southern Kansas anc
northern Oklahoma in recent years ane
every law abiding citizen owes it to him
self and the public to exercise the great
est vigilance to stamp it out. The Walk
er horses were good ones and the loss
if they fail to find them, will be close tt
$1,000. Objections are sometimes urg
ed to prosecutions on the plea that i
costs the county to do it, but cases hk'
the one in point prove very clearly tina
such arguments are absurd.
1t is sincerely hoped that the Wake
brothers will not only recover their prop
erty but that the thief or thieves may b
landed behind the bars where they Cal
not continue to carry on their nefariou
business.
