Horse Stealing Reduced to Science

partment store is as likely to disap-
pear as the horse and wagon of the
small grocer or butcher. Detectives
say that the theft is easily covered
up. Within six hours after the horse
and wagon disappear transformation
is made, which is so complete that
few owners can identify their proper
ty. The horse is shorn of his name
and tail, white legs are dyed a color
corresponding with the body OF the
horse, and cases have been known
where stolen horse was described as
having bobbed tail, where the horse
when finally recovered was found to
have had a very beautiful tail. at
tached to the former stub.
The same with the wagon. A gayly
painted wagon is soon transformed in
to a dilapidated peddler's wagon. The
top is removed, dashboard knocked
of, and a dirty drab or brown coat
of paint reduces the wagon that cost
from $3.50 to 5000 to one that, when
the thief sells it., will not bring more
than $50
The stealing Of horses has become
a serious problem for many business
men. The police, however, have been
successful in running to earth some of
the thieves. One leader of band of
horse thieves recently got four years
in the penitentiary; another got IL
years and two others, connected with
third gang, got ten years each.
In their search after thieves the
New York police located a farm in
New Jersey which was conducted for
the receiving of stolen property.
