ICE POWERS ARE SOUGHT FOR $4,000 MEN IN INDIANA

Fifteen thousand men would be au-
thOrized to carry arms, make arrests
and hold prisoners until warrants

visions of a bill pending in the House
Of Representatives.
The bill, introduced by Earl NJ
Myers of Kingman, late Friday, pro-
vides that county commissioners shall
be compelled to designate as constable

such designations If they see fit.

ISOLATION of Indiana, asserts the as
sociation has $4,000 active members.
Law Passed in 1865
The formation of horse thlef datec-
tive associations was authoirzed by
law in 1855 and amended in 1891 and
1907. For years these organizations
flourished in the State. Then they
almost died out. They have been re-
vived, for the most part, within the
last year.
The original purpose of the associa-
tons, according to Lowe. who was in
the House when the bill was intro
duced, was to apprehend horse thieves
who operated following the Civil War
and again about 1900.

COLORADO sEMl.MoNTHLY
CROP AND LIVE STOCK NOTES

General.-Spring plowing and seed
Ing In Colorado are generally from one
to two weeks late. due to the back
ward spring, according to reports Of
the U. s. Division Of Crop and Live
Stock Estimates. The moisture sup
plies including reservoir storages, are
below normal, though SHOWS have been
heavy In parts Of the state more mois-
ture than usual was needed to fill res
ervoirs and to put the soil In good tilth
to commence spring operations. The
drought continues in the southeastern
counties and much of the soil Is too
dry for plowing or dlsking.
Winter Wheat.-A few sections re-
port the condition Of the wheat crop as
very good, but in general the condition
is only fair and the abandonment will
be considerable. There has not been
much growth as yet, due to the back
wardness Of the spring, but moisture
conditions are quite favorable for pres
ent requirements In the north-central
and northeastern portions and should
result in rapid growth with the advent
Of warmer weather. The condition Is
poor upon non-irrigated lands In the
southeast, due to the long continued
drought and some Of the abandoned
fields will be summer fallowed.
Live Stock, Hay and Pastures
Grass on the ranges will be late In
many sections, but the present pros
pect indicates good growth may be
expected for moisture conditions are
quite favorable. Hay Is becoming very
scarce In some sections, due to the pro-
tracted feeding season. Some thin
cattle are reported, but the health Of
stock is excellent and losses have been
light. A fair to good calf crop is ex-
pected. The prospect for the lamb
crop Is quite good, but some heavy
losses Of early pigs have been re-
ported.
Miscellaneous.-A few early potatoes
aer already being planted. Present
prospects are good for all classes Of
fruit with the exception Of little dam
age reported to apricots.
