THEFT HALTS CHARITY WORK Salvation Army Horses
 Stolen. CANNOT MAKE DISTRIBUTION Capt. 0dom Feels Loss Because
 Of the Cold Snap.
 - Say. It win Cause maeh suaerias Among tAe Ssedy saa Which He H.a Plaanea To
 Relieve. . q

At the very time when fhe Salvation Army workers here nose need a wagon to carry food, clothing and fuel to poor people, they are deprived of its use by the roguery of thief The two horses belonging to the local branch of the army were stolen Saturday night or Sunday morning. Captain odom awoke Sunday morning. to find the stable doors and the yard gate wide open and not . sign of the horses in sight.
 The police and sherifrs forces were uotified and at once began Q. search of the city and surrounding territory, but not trace of the horses has been found. The only clue that has been given Is that A.. L. Parker. who lives far out on Bell Street. says that at 1 o'clock Sunday morning. when he got out of bed to give medicine. to one. of his chil- dren, who was III, he heard two horses pass, being ridden rapidly. He says he paid no particular attention to the in- ctdent, for the mounted officers of the police force, who work in pairs, often pass that way at night, and he thought the two horses he heard. were those of the patrolmen.
 The Captain unwiliingly suspects 2 man who has received the hospitality of the army post for the last few days. Saturday morning this man remained in bed until 10 o'clock, reading magazines. and although, requested to get up and TO out and hunt for work he refused. until the men of the post insisted. upon his getting up. As this man has not been seen since he left the place Sat- urday noon, and as it Is known he has no work here, the police are led to believe that he may be concerned m the theft.
 Captain odom says one of the horses was q bay, eight years old, fourteen hands high, and weighed about 1000 pounds. It had q scar on the left fore leg near the body and was shod with heavy rubber shoes. The other was chestnut fourteen years old, sixteen hands high, which weighed in the neighborhood of 1900 pounds and was snod with ordinary. iron shoes. Both animals were in good condition. He says he never knew of their having bolted gof their own accord and that one of them had been in Montgomery for two years.
 The sheriffs in the,counties near Mont gonlery will be notified by wire to keep A watch for them. The man who is ur- der suspicion the Captain describes aa being about 24 years old and weighs at least 215 pounds.
 Just before and during the present cold spell, the army has been using the hoses in it's charitable work. Sunday many messages were sent to the army post from persons who had gifts of clothing. food and fuel for the army to dlstribut9. and @itA0uk ttla horses tho Captain cannot collect all of these for ,Itstribution. at this time, when there are so many poor people ana little chiis dren suffering.
