THIEF AND HOR8E8 CAPTURED
Qco. Qcbhart , Recently In n Norfolk
Court , la Taken In Colfnx County
With the Team of August Best , Stol
en Wednesday Night , In Possession.
Madison , Nob. , Jan. ! . Special to
The News : The horao thief whoatolo
a team from Iho farm of Augusl Deal ,
living elghl miles norlheasl of Madl-
son , on Wednesday night , was appre
hended late last evening by ( ho sheriff
of Collax county In the northern part
ol thai county , and the team was re
covered with him. The thief IK Geo.
Gebhart , a farm hand , who recently
confessed to having stolen Ihreo over-
coals from Norfolk stores within the
hist three years.
As soon as a report of the stealing
reached Madison yesterday morning ,
Sheriff Clements communicated with
Sherllf Slnoker of Stnnton and they In
turn collected with Sheriff VanDiison
of Schuyler. Then all three sheilffs
commenced to woik the rural tele
phone lines and they soon had a bead
on the lugltlvo and team , resulting In
both being taken last night In Colfax
county. Sheriff Slucker lias gone for
Iho prisoner and by night ho will be
In Ihu Stnnton Jail and the team will
have been returned to Its owner. The
team was led away behind a buggy ,
nothing being taken but the horses
and halters. The horses arc valued
at $1100.
Sheriff Clements and his contempo
raries In the ether counties are con-
gralulallng themselves upon the quick
work done In this case. And they are
giving duo thanks to the fact thai Iho
country Is now covered with rural tel
ephone Hues , which alone allowed
them to trace the thief to his capture.
Stolen Wednesday Night.
Stanton , Neb. , Jan. 4. Special to
The News : A team of horses belong
Ing to August Bosk of this county was
stolen during the- night of the 2nd of
January. They were taken llrst wesl
and Ihon south from his place. At

headed. One sorrel mare , weight
1050 to 1100 , white stripe in face ;
white hind feet. Bolh horses were

HAS HE BEEN ONE OF GANG ?
Many Horses Have Been Stolen in
This Section Gebhard Bad Man.
Is George Gebhard , confessed over
coat thief and captured with a stolen
team of horses , one of an organized
gang of thieves who have been creat
ing a rolgn of unrest among northern
Nebraska farmers for the past two or
three years ? That Is the question that
naturally follows the arrest of this ,
Iho very first horsethief to be caught
In a long period.
For many months northern Nebras
ka farmers have been Iho viclims of
horsethloves. There has long been a
suspicion among many of them that
local parties were members of a gang
which was doing the thieving. But no
means of capturing any of them has
boon devised. It Is believed by many
of the anti-horse thief association , re
cently organized In this part of the
state , thai a beginning lo the undoing
of tlio gang has been attained in tlio
arrest of Gebhart.
George Gobhart Is a young man who
has been working on farms in Stnnton
county. A few weeks ago he drove
into Norfolk with u young woman who
has been teaching school In the conn
try near Madison. He secured an
overcoat from the C. & . N. clothing
store under false representation , do
Glaring that his father would soon be
In to pay for It. lie did not rotun
and 13d Kennedy gave chase. Ho
caught tlio thief just as ho was start
ing out of town in a buggy. He stll
had the coat. Later ho confessed to
having secured coats from liaum Bros
and the Star In the same way pro
viously. He was not proseculed to
the limit , but was released on a line
of $5 and costs.
So common has horse stealing in
this section become Ihal an assocla
tlon of farmers for self protection was
formed. It Is known as the North Ne
braska Llvo Stock Owners' Protcc
tlvo association , with hcadquarlers In
Norfolk. George W. Evans Is presl
dent. The organization has been ex
tended Into oilier counties.
Gebhart formerly worked for Aug
uat Besk , the man from whom ho stol

'resident H. A. Pasewalk of Industrial
Company Believes That Directors
Would be Glad to Encourage Any
Promising Worthy Industry.
While unwilling to speak for ether

oik Industrial company , H. A. Paso-
valk , president , declared thai ho

ibly Hie lease could bo arranged for a

I was apparenl Ihal an Induslry largo

employ 100 men the year around Is
iceded for the sugar factory building ,
nit he said he realized thai all of
hose indnslries must starl small andrew

Mr. Pasewalk said that ho believed

factory for a life time lo an Industry
which could only employ from twenty-
Ive to forty men. It was his idea that
lorlmps the company , if It were con
vlnced that the packers were in good
faith , might bo willing to lurn over
'he factory buildings for a period of
three years , for Instance , and that pay
ment of Insurance and taxes would ho

ions where 11 was employing a largo

said that ho thought there would bo
10 trouble about extending the time
of lease on this basis for an indefinite
lerlod.
President Pasewalk had received no
ntlmatlon of the proposed plan except
: hrough Tlio News and therefore had
not In any way taken up the maftcr
officially with other directors and
stockholders. He said that the stock
holders and directors arc anxious to

will employ a largo number of men.
He said that If the packing company
were to employ but a comparalivoly
small number of men , and would not
branch out , ho would bo In favor ol
Duylng a smaller building thai could

"I have said before , " said Mr. Pase
walk , "that we did not want to let the
sugar factory to a small industry which
promised no bigger things aflor n pe
riod of years. For Instance , I have
not been In favor of encouraging a
small canning factory , because the
property Is too valuable to turn over
to so small an Institution. The old
creamery building could bo had for
the use of some smaller Industry. Bu
If this packing company is in earnest
and simply wants the use of the build
ings and not n donation of the proper
ty , and If they can show the directors
that they will probably grow Into a
plant employing 100 men , I believe
that the company would bo glad to
encourage them with a three or fou
year lease without charge , excepting
that they should pay the taxes and In
