TexICO Last Week Jailed
For Horse Theft
(From tuesdays Daily)

A preacher, a school teacher, a
carpenter and real estate agent
but above all a horse trader with
unfortunate habits In the way Of
trading with other peoples horses,
John Denny, now In the county jail
here is an offender OF unusual yer-
satlllty. His horse trading propensi-
ties have been such In the past that
IL is due to them and to the efforts
OF the Oklahoma Horse Thief Detec-
tive association that he Is now In the
jail here awaiting the action OF the
Oklahoma officers on charge OF horse
stealing and disposlng OF stolen
property.
Caught on the Train.
Yesterday afternoon the sheriffs

from Texico to come to Amarillo,
The message gave a complete descrip-
lions OF tho man and Deputies Frank
Buckingham and Jim Keeton imme-
diately set out for the station to
meet the Pecos valley train which
was then due. buckingham caught
delivery wagon, met the train In
the yards and jumped on one OF the
cars. Going through the train, he
located the man in the smoking car.
He had partly changed his clothes but
still wore the brown suit described
In the Texlco message. Without any
explanation Buckingham took the
vacant seat beside the man and walt
ed TIL the train drew down to the
station, Before the train stopped he
stepped into the vestibule and the
man followed with his grip ready to
get off Deputy Keeton then boarded
the train and the two took the man
In charge.
Bought Real Estate in Toxico.
He admitted that his name was
John Denny but demanded to know
by what right the officers held him.
The officers finally told him that
their message charged horse theft
against him.

steal any horses there. have been
dealing In real estate down there and

Deputy Keeton suggested the steal

place an dthe man finally went along
with them without further difficulty.
Preached at Texico.
Later during the examination at
the courthouse before he was put In
jail, Denny volunteered the informa-
ton that he had preached week
ago In Texico.
An investigation Of Denney's be-
longings show. that is by reference to
a members card in the carpenters
union at Chickasha, l. T., that he Is
80 years old.
The theft for which Denny Is held
was committed at Wheatland near
Oklahoma City. Two big and yalu-
able mares we're stolen from a farm
near there. The Oklahoma Horse
Thief Detective association took up
the matter and offered $3.50 reward
for the capture OF the thief, Indi-
cations pointed to Denny as the thief
and he was traced in possession OF
the team to Motley county, Texas,
where he disposed OF the team for
$500. The horses have been reCov-

The report of Adjutant General
Alva NilCg makes a very creditable
showing OF the condition Of the Okla
homa militia Of which there is one
regiment OF infantry Of twelve com
pamys a signal corps, engineers, hos
rital lela hmen,s and band, with a
total strength 81 754 men.
Thara has been much discussion
pro and con over the question Of state
militia but no plan of training young
men for military service has as yet
been evolved that beats the present
method Il Is at once inexpensive
and efficient
The point OF superiority in the
militia system is that it does not with
draw young men from the active pur-
suit OF business while they receive
military training This is what has
made the military system OF Germany
SO oreIuus.
OF course the militia can hardly get
yGcb extensive courses of training as
are IN force in European countries.
but they do not need il here The
American IS naturally a good shot and
has always proven a good fighter
when PIT to the test
I'm states where such etyice Is
needed the militia has been very val
uabie in supprassing disorders The
record of Oklahoma in that particular
is one to be proud of in that It has
uevet had any disorders needing the
service of the militia aud has no inn
Giate prospect of having any soon.
Eut tine best preca1tion is the best
preventative
The tendency Of the United States
TO promote the interests of state
militia Is in the right direction and
more Of Il would be more TO the point
Young Americans must learn to use
firearms and the government can
amply afford to furnish ammunition
