Organized Band at Work

Their conferences disclosed similar
stock stealing in their respective jur-
isdictions. Complaints from farmers
were numerous and it seemed evident
to the officers that there must be an
organized crowd of thieves at work.
In the eastern end of Alameda county,
including Sunol, Altamont and Liver
more. horses were driven out of pas
lures and taken to distant places.
Sheriff Barnet and Sheriff Langford of
Santa Clara found some of the stolen
stock at San Jose. Four horses and
vehicles stolen from Fruitvale and Oak
land were found and returned within
a few days in charge of Deputy Sheriff
Bert Brown, who was sent to San Jose
by Sheriff Barnet.
After an investigation of COM
plants" said Sheriff Barnet today, I'VE
came to the conclusion that the thieves
had shipped stolen stock to southern
California This appears TO be borne
out by Sheriff Hammelrs advices. The
methods of theft and disposal of the
stock leaves no doubt that gang has
been operating. In the ranching dis
tricts it was found comparatively easy
to drive horses out of pasture, wait a
favorable opportunity and get them
out of the way. l am waiting now for
further details from the SOUTH

To many of the foreign born resi-

Many Men Involved

This news served to confirm a theory
worked out by Barnet that much of the
stolen stock had been shipped to south
ern California. With these advices at
hand, effort will be continued to locate
further traces of the thieves. 1t is be-
Heved that more than one man has been
committing the thefts, which have
caused losses not confined to the ranch
ers, but 10 owners of stock and vehicles
in the cities. The thefts were of such a
Wholesale nature that it was the theory
of the officers that many men were in
volved. This belief is strengthened by
the fact that the stolen animals were
shipped by rail or sent otherwise to
considerable distances from the scene
of the thefts.
Recently the reports of horse steal
ing became so numerous that Sheriff
Barnet, Sheriff r. r. Veale of Contra
Costa county, Sheriff Robert Chatham
of San Mateo county, Sheriff Walter
Sibley of San Joaquin county and Sher-
iff Arthur Langford of Santa Clara
county formed a combined plan of op-
erations in trying to run down the
thieves.
