GREAT LOSSES THRU
ACTIVITY OF THIEVES
Boys Are Taught to Steal
Junk and Sell 1t for a Song
to Agents Who Skip.

BARTLESVILLE. Okla. March II.
While money is flowing into the pock-
cts of oil producers in the Oklahoma
fields from two sources-the selling OF
crude oil and sale OF casing head gas
1t is not a case of "all coming in and
nothing going out" During the past
few years oil producers In five coun-
ties in this district have sustained a
loss of approximately a quarter of
million dollars as the result OF the op-
erations OF junk thieves. This is tho
statement of detective in the employ
of several of the largest oil operating
companies, who was former chief
of police, of Tulsa. These operations
have extended over .Nowata, Washing
ton, Usage, Tulsa and Creek counties
the five largest oil producing counties
in the state.
Unlike automobile robbers. Junk
thieves are operating on the indcpend-
ent order, without aysystem, but never
theless their Wholesale raids have net
ted them n vast sum of money Casing,
line pipe and old rope is the class OF
junk stolen mostly, for there is a big
demand for this class OF junk and
junk Operators" are in the business
to make quick money. Junk is stolen
from the best equipped oil leases, Is
it is said, agents for junk dealers
who maintain fence" where loot can
be disposed Of, go out into the fields
and buy junk The highest market
price Is not paid, for buyers of stolen
junk expect to make n big profit. and
they are under heavy expense because
they must pay their agents" big
price. These agents" according to
officers. are doing more to encourage
men and boys to engage in the junk
stealing business than any one thing
1t is said that so per cent OF the junk
thieves operating in these oil counties
are youths under 20 years old, who
were encouraged to get into the bust
ness because of the chance to make
easy money"
Boys Are Lurcd Into Game.
The lure of easy money" has
headed many boys toward the doors
of the state penitentiary Dishonest
junk dealers are blamed for this con-
dition, for they will buy junk from
boys, knowing it has been stolen, and
in most instances do not pay them
within SO per cent OF what the junk
Is worth.
Officers are at as great a handicap
in rounding up gangs of Junk thieves
