SHERIFF GRIFFIN AN OFFICIAL
Large Number Of Horses Stolen
Prompts Campaign to Cap
ture Gang.

Des Moines, July 12.-Plans for
a vigorous fight to rid Iowa of an
organized gang of horse thieves
which has been molesting farmers In
various sections for the last six
months were mapped out at the
meeting of the State Sheriffs' asso-
citation held at Estherville.
This word was brought to Des
Moines by John Griffin, sheriff of
Polk county who returned from the
meeting yesterday. Mr.. Griffin was
honored by the association by being
elected it's secretary and treasurer
for the ensuing year. S. E. Cronk-
hite, sheriff Of Marion county, was
chosen president and John Butler,
of Emmett county, vice president.
Resolutions were passed at the
meeting, according to Mr.. Griffin,
urging every sheriff in the state to
organize at once county horse

task is completed an organization to
be known as the State Detective as
ISOLATION will be perfected.
The sheriffs were unanimous in
expressing a belief that it would be
impossible to bring to an end the OPP
erations of the horse thieves unless
they were banded together in an as
ISOLATION having for it's sole aim the
capturing of the members of the
gang.
Nearly fifty sheriffs attended the
meeting and there was not one who
refused to admit he was unable to
combat the thieves said Griffin.
tThe farmers themselves are partly
responsible for the inability of the
sheriffs to capture the thieves in
that they fall to notify them prompt
ly when they find their horses miss
ing. Oh, the other hand the gang is
well organized and is carrying slr
its work in such a manner as to
avoid the slightest suspicion"
According to Griffin, meeting Of
the sheriffs will be held In Des
Moines in the next few weeks to orr
ganize the State Detective associa-
ton. Its membership will consist Of
the sheriffs, their deputies and ex-
sheriffs.
The sheriffs' association went on
record on the closing day of it's
meeting as favoring the enactment
of a measure by the legislature that
will provide for the payment Of
chief deputy sheriffs out Of the coun-
ty fund. At present the sheriffs are
compelled to pay their first deputies.
Oskaloosa has been chosen as the
next meeting place Of the associa-
ton.

Wellington, N. a., July IA
large quantity OF dynamite with a
burning fuse attached was discover

barracks just in time to prevent the
destruction of the building.

Schools of Instruction Arranged
by State officials at

Ames July, : a 2 = s The -Issawa Stats
college is preparing to teach all
farmers of Iowa in the use of hog
cholera virus, to the end that all
who desire may become holders of
state permits to administer the SER
UNI. Definite plans for schools of
instruction" to be held on Wednes-
day of each week, were made as a
conference of state and college oflc-
ials yesterday.
Under present conditions there are
few who are able to secure permits
to administer the serum. Experts
point out that it is dangerous in the
hands of inexperienced men, and IL
is declared that recent outbreaks of
cholera may have been caused by
injudicious use of vaccine. Now the
director of the biological laboratory
at the state college must approve pc
titions Of applicants for permission
to administer serum.
A nominal charge may be made to
those attending the schools of in
struction until 1914, when a state
appropriation for the purpose be-
comes available.
James /. Gibson, state veterinar-
ian; w. B. Niles, government hog
cholera expert; D. H. Miller, head of
the state veterinarians; Prof. C. H..
STANCE of the biological laboratory,
and w. H. Pew, head of the depart
ment of animal husbandry, attended
yesterdays conference.
The state college is now waiting
for permanent buildings to start the
manufacture of hog cholera virus.
Temporary buildings have been
erected and several hundred hogs al
ready are on the ground. About four

passed directly over both. Mr..
Reeves backed as quickly as possi-

Pointers for Travellers.

There are two good reasons way
residents of Cairo should purchase
their railroad tickets at the ticket
office, Instead of on trains, accord
ing to a letter sent out by the Cairo
Retail Merchants Association al tae
suggestion of the Mobile & Ohio
Railroad
First--Eyery dollar spent for
fares on the train depriyes Cairo Of
Just that much credit for passeng ger
business it gives the railroad COM
panies and lessons its chances for
obtaining Improvement in its rail-
road accomodations.s
Second When train is waiting
at a junction to make connection
with another train information Is
wired for as to the number OF ne--
sons on board Upon the answer
depends largely the length Of time
the waiting train will be held for
your train. AS there is no record at
local stations of passengers who
neglected to buy tickets or exchaa sc
mileage and pay fares on the train,
the obvious consequence is that the
question cannot be intelligently
answered by the station agent VINO
must base his reply on the number
of tickets sold or exchanged at his
office. II the number of passengers
who are to transfer are confronted
by a tedious walt for later train con-
nections.
We are inclined to believe that
these two simple rules In railroad
travelling are of vital Importance to
every resident of Cairo and should
be remembered. II you can do any,
thing that will add to Cairo'F
strength as a travelling center We
will find 1t less difficult to obtain
improvements. This concerns you
personally. If you can lessen the
risk of having some train leave you
behind at the junction merely by
buying your ticket at the station YOU
would be foolish to pass up the com
fort.
