Anti-Horse Thief Association.

Last Friday a chapter of the Anti
Horse Thief association was organ
lied in Leon by E. H. Stewart, of
Kahoka, Mo-, the members being
some of the county officers, farmers
and businessmen. The association
is the largest protective and fraternal
organization of it's kind in the world,
being composed of law-abiding citi-
,zens banded together for mutual
benefit and protection, and is now
specializing on the auto thief: The
first lodge was organized near Luray,
Mo-, in 1854, and now there are
over 1900 lodges with about half
million members in Kansas, Missouri,
Iowa, Illinois and other states. 1t is
fraternal and cooperative, it is
secret, it is patriotic, as none but
law-abiding citizens il can anoteh belong; it is is
cheap, has no high salaried officers,
is not a lawless order, being strictly
opposed to mob violence, non-politi-
cal and non-sectarian, and any white
man over IS years old, of good
character, may belong. They vel
come a good man to membership,
but bad man cannot belong.
