admitted everything. He said that he
had been stealing from the company
for the past two years, and had re-
Gently been assisted by another of the
employees. He added that his grand
father conducted jewelry and nov
city store in South ST. Louis, and that
nearly all the stock which he and his
confederate had stolen had gone into
the old mans stock. He also stated
that he had a quantity of the stolen
property concealed in the attic of his
mothers house, and agreed to go with
one OF my men and deliver the stolen
goods. This he subsequently did.
After Erfert had completed his con-
fession sent a message to Mr.. Boil
land, asking him to come to my Office
at once. as l had succeeded in cap
turing the thief.
Mr.. Bolland arrived about ten in
the evening. accompanied by his wife
and Clarence White. l met them in

sent for you"
Whom have you caught?"
Fired Erfert is the principal party"
Mrs. Bolland and White exclaimed
simultaneously: why, surely you
have made mistake!"
I told you not to bother with Err
fert; that believed he was all right"
said Mr.. Bolland angrily.
why, Furlong, you have got your
foot in it," White continued. "Erfert
surely had nothing to do with these
thefts, and you have made a great
mistake by even accusing him. He
has been practically raised by Mr.. Boil
land and in his service for many
years, and we have always had i'm
plicit confidence in his honesty"
Yes / understand all that" I an
swered, 'but Mr.. BoIlapd employed
me to apprehend the party, or parties,

asked.

of my private Office. "He has prom

father, in South st. Louis. and recov-
cred about four hack loads ut goods
from that place. BY the time the last
load had been hauled away it was
nearly daylight.
While this loot was being removed /
was standing outside guarding the
hack into which the goods were be-
ing placed. A police officer came
along. We knew each other, and he
was somewhat surprised to see me at
that time of night in that locality,
and asked me, in a friendly manner,
what l was doing there. replied
that some stuff had been stolen from
a jewelry store, and that it had been
taken to the house, I added that /
had thought it advisable to remove
the goods after night so as not to at
tract the attention of the neighbor-
hood, as felt sure that the women of
the family were not aware that the
property which had been placed in
their house was stolen.
The policeman later reported that
he had met me and detailed this con-
versation to his captain. The report,
of course, reached the chief of police
the following morning. The chief,
becoming exasperated, suspended the
policeman for not having arrested
both the hack driver and myself He
also suspended one or two of the Of
ficers connected with the station who
were on duty that night.
The next morning city detective
called at my Office.
Il have been sent down here by
the chief to see you" he said. ''The
chief understands that you arrested a
young fellow named Erfert last night
and that you recovered a lot of stolen
property. Is that report true?"
Part of the report seems to be
true, while the remainder is not true"
Il answered. "You know, and the
chief should know, that have no
legal right to make arrests, and there
fore / have made no arrests, nor have
l caused any to be made within the
city of st. Louis, but did recover a
large quantity of stolen goods last
night and early this morning, and /
have delivered them to their owner"
Where is Erfert now?" asked the
detective.
Il don't know where he is at pres
ent. Why do you want to know this ?"
Because the chief instructed me
to come down here and get him, and
bring him to headquarters at once"
replied the man.
Have you any charges against
him at headquarters ?" l inquired.
Il don't know. All l know is that

TREATMENT OF BALKY HORSE
Animal Is Not to Be Cured by Either
Beating or Abuse-ohIy Practi-
cal Method.

In an article in Our Dumb Animals,
Alfred FL. Pope says that the balky
horse has the most sense and the con-
firmed runaway horse the least sense
of any horse. The ballSy horse is not
to be cured by beating and abuse. 1t
appears from his article that he makes
a business of buying balky horses,
breaking them of the habit, and selling
them again. 1t is to be presumed,
therefore, that he knows whereof he
speaks. He makes no mention of such
methods as that of building a fire I'M
der horse, as he condemns any kind
of abuse. When a horse makes up
his mind to balk, he has no room in
his mind for anything else. Whipping
only increases his stubbornness, but
there is method which goes to the
cause of the trouble. With a single
idea in his head, it was reasoned that
the best way to get the horse to move
was to give him another idea--some-
thing else to think about. The trainer
then remembered that horses and
mules resent interference with their
liberty TO move tnelr ears at VIII. Ii
was noticed that horse never changes
his course of action without moving
his ears. 1t was then found that when
"a horse baked it annoyed him to have
one ear pushed under the crown of the
bride so that he could not move it.
And it was also found that If the
ear was left there for about 20 min
utes he was so annoyed that he forgot
about his determination to balk. He
shook his head, turned to one side
and then the other, and made every
effort to release the ear This oc-
cupied his mind until when the driver
ordered him to go, he went. After
n few minutes the ear was released
and he went on as if he had forgotten

eff Erfert calls at this Office while
you are here" answered, "and if you
have a warrant for his arrest, charg-
ing him with any crime, you may
take him to headquarters; but unless
you have warrant I will not permit
you to take him out of this Office.
think, perhaps, you had better go and
communicate this to the chief"
The detective left the office and
went to make his report. In the
meantime Mr.. Bolland arrived, to
whom stated the facts of the city
detectives visit and his intention to
arrest Erfert. Mr.. BoIlsnd said that
he did not care to prosecute; in fact
he preferred not to do so, and was
really undecided which was the best
course to pursue.
you had better take Erfert quietly
up to police headquarters" I said to
him, "and tell the chief what you have
said to me-"
This was done, but, at police head
quarters, the police chief and the de-
tective who had called at the Office in
the Chemical building took Erfert in
charge and put him through the third
degree. They attempted to make him
say that | had arrested him and
forced him to make a confession of
his thefts. They did not concern
themselves with his guilt or inno-
cence. A statement was prepared by
them, which they urged Erfert to sign,
declaring that / had violated the law
by having arrested him and forcing
him to make statement of his guilt.
Erfert declined, however, to sign this
statement, on the ground that it was
untrue. He stated that / had ex-
planned to him in the beginning of
the interview that had no legal right

to arrest him, and that / had said 1t
was optional with him whether he
return the stolen goods or not but
that if he refused to do so it would
be my duty to turn him over to the
police.
The chief of police was greatly ex.
asperated to find that he could make
no case against me. At later time
however, he himself made a complaint
that was running a private detective
agency without a license from the
police board, and warrant was is.

ness stand / was asked whether

Louis, and / replied that was. Asked
whether I had a license from the
board of police commissioners, l re-
piled that / had not. / was then
asked by what authority 1 was con-
Quoting my business, and l answered
that it was by authority of state
charter. l produced the articles Of
Incorporation, which the judge care
fully read, and he then dismissed the
case, assessing tine court charges upon
the police
The chief of police insisted upon
the prosecution OF Erfert. He was re-
leased on bond, reappeared in due
course, and pleaded guilty, receiving
a minimum sentence of two years in
the penitentiary, and being released
as a model prisoner, under the two
third sentence rule.
The stolen property recovered
amounted to several thousand dollars
in value.
Erfert, it is pleasing to note, lived
an exemplary life after his release.
His confederate, who was a nero
youth, was not prosecuted.

found himself at the railway Station

for his fare to Washington.
Somehow he got through the gaze
and approached the conductor. ne

with a plea that he might ride 70

self, and that he will at once return
as much as possible of the stolen
property to you, which have advised
him to do"
l then ushered them into the private
room in which Erfert was. The young
fellow repeated to them the statement
of guilt that he had already made to
me. Then, with some assistants,
went in hack to the house of Err
