THE WAY II USED 10 BE
Reminiscence Suggested by Oklahoma Anti Horse
 Thief Club.

It sounded a little odd to me to read that the Oklahoma Indian Ter ritory Anti-Horse Thief association has just held it's annual meeting at Pawnee, Oklahoma, and more strln- gent laws are demanded to deal with gentlemen who steal ropes with horses at the other end of them The asso- ciation seemed justly indignant be- cause actual horse thieves had been captured and because of the laws de- lays and technical quibbles and one thing and another many of this class of criminals had escaped with but one years sentence in the penitentiary But whep I was a younger man than I am to-day ago, and not so many either if we reckon carefully, l recall that the law in those far west ern States was death to the horse thief
 In the early Black Hill days l saw several horse thieves tried by jury in the rude camps around Deadwood, and saw one Sunday morning jury empaneled, in five minutes and the prisoner was called upon to testify. He knew something or the law ana he insisted that he was innocent untll he was proven guilty He lnslsteo' with much eloquence, that it was the duty of the prosecution to prove that he had committed the offense, and ne contended, with great rorce, that pe- cause he had the horse in hls possess sion, was no evidence that he haa stolen if He claimed that he had # bought the horse; he had paid a good- Iv sum for it, and he was the victim of circumstance The man of whom he had purchased the animal had gone: he may have stolen it--he was willing to return the property, but he could not see why he should be ad- iudged guilty, because he happened to have in his possession horse which he had purchased with hard wrought money, and hanged because he could not at the time produce the man who had sold the horse He
 put up an argument that would have
 done great credit to any lawyer, any \ where, and to me, VIII confess thai $ it looked like clear case of inno-
 cence on the part of the accused. One
 old miner presided as judge-there 5 had been no recognized courts or
 ganized at that time-and he insisted
 that the accused must prove that h'
 had bought the horse.
 To return it, after being arrested
 would not satiate the laws appetite
 but the accused explained that hi
 hands were tied; he was helpless-h
 was the victim of the circumstance
 and that if he had to pc hanged h
 would hang with his last words pro
 claiming his innocence. Anothe
 miner said that it wouldn't do to es
 tablish a ''pree-cedent' that all a ma
 had to do was to claim that he bougi1
