WORK OF ANTI-HORSE THIEF ASSOCIATION

The next annual session of the Oklahoma Anti-Horse Thief Association will be held at Enid on the third Wednesday in October. During the past year 12 horse thieves have been captured, convicted and sent to the penitentiary by the various associations in the territory. There are nearly 200 local lodges now in Oklahoma and the membership of upwards of 2,000 is rapidly growing. Not only is it spreading in the country but also business men in the towns have begun to take an interest in its work and are joining to help it. The past year over $1,000 worth of stolen property has been recovered and returned to the rightful owners
