Fender, Neb., March pa meet
ing of the farmers from this and ad-
joining counties was held here at the
town hall, where an organization was
perfected to protect their interests
against horse stealing, which has be-
come a profitable business in the last
year. A valuable team and wagon
was stolen from the streets here some
time ago. This is the third one taken
in the last year. No trace of the stOl-
en- property was ever had. Within a
radius of fifty miles, no less than sew
enty-fve or 100 head of valuable ami
mails have been stolen in the last
year, and but one span was recovered
or heard from. Therefore, an assoc
iation, to protect the farmers from
these losses becomes incumbent on
their part, as only the choicest ami
mails are taken. Where they mystic
riously disappear, is the wonder of the
owners
