More Horses Stolen in New York
in a Year Than in Four West
ern States in Ten.
New York, April 27.—Not the wild
and woolly west, but this city with its
i great police powers and its highly or-1
gaoized civilization is the most fruitful
field for horse thieves in the country.
The amount of property stolen by horse
thieves in this city in one year prob-
' ably exceeds that stolen in Kansas,
Nebraska, Colorado and Texas in 10
1 years. This crime is so easy of execu
tion and so iiard of detection in a Rreat
j city like New York that detectives have
| been able to make but little headway
in checkinR it and recoveriiiR any of
the stolen property. On an average five
1 horses and wagons are stolen in the
1 city every business day. To place the 1
amount lost every year is difficult, but
it is estimated that property valued at
from $1,000,000 to $1,500,000 is stolen.'
Ordinarily the theft of a horse from the
streets attracts little attention. The
thiyes have a way of changing the !
appearance cf both horses and wagons
and the task of recovering the stolon
property is rendered extremely difficult.
A few vears ago an association was
formed for the purpose oi insuring
against theft of horses and delivery
wagons on the streets. But so numer
ous became the thefts and so rarely:
was the property stolen recovered that
tlie association was‘forced out of busi
ness. It was learned, however, in a
vague way that the headquarters for
the thieves were in New Jersey and
Connecticut. Horses after being stolen
wgre run into these States and there
disposed of. The New York Police were
powerless to follow the thieyes across
the line, In most cases there was only
-suspicion that the thieves had gone
into another State: in few cases was it
possible to collect positive evidence.
No man’s horse is safe in the streets
ot the city to-day, according to a for
mer officer of the association. The
horse of the big department store is
as likely to disappear as the horse and
wagou of the small grocer or butcher.
I Detectives say that the theft is easily
covered up. Within six hours after
the horse and wagon disappears, a
transformation is made, which is so
complete that few owners can iden
tify their property. The horse is
shorn of his mane and tail, white legs
I are dyed a color corresponding with
; the body of the horse, and cases have
been known where a stolen horse was
1 described as having a bobbed tail,
where the horse when finally recov
ered was found to have had a very
beautiful tail, attached to the former
stub.
The same with the wagon, A gayly
. painted wagon is soon transformed
| into a dilapidated peddler's wagon,
i The top is removed, dashboard knocked
off, and a dirty drab or brown coat of
puiut reduces the wagon that cost from
$150 to $200 to one that, when the thief
sells it., will tring not more than $50.
The stealing of horses has become
| a serious prcblein for many business
men. Witlou a few weeks oue Har-
| lem grocer lias lost five iiorses with
Itheir wagons and within the same
'period another concern in the same
! section has lost six. The value oi an
i average delivery horse ranges from
j $250 to upward of $300, so that few
; business men can afford to stand such
; constant losses.
The police, however, have been soc-
! cessful in runuiug to earth tome of
tho thieves. One leader of a bond of

In their search after thieves tlie
, New York police located a farm in

•if^s hard to imagine a completely de
serted section of New York city; a sec
tion that was once alive with all the
hustle ana bustle of busy life. The re
gion around the foot of Grand street,
that was once the center of ferry traf
fic, is now practically deserted and heal
thy blades of grass have begun to sprout
between the cobble stones of the pave
merit. Once—before the opening of tlie
Williamsburg bridge - it was the place
where tlio human tides flowed high and
strong. Tlie prosperity of tlie neighbor
hood began to decline when the bridge
was opened and it lias kept on declining
steadily until now there is none left.
The ferries that used to carry thousands
of passengers and hundreds of trucks
every day were discontinued more than
a year ago because there was not enough
business to pay expenses. The ferry
houses are boarded up and falling to
ruin.
It is not until one gets within two
blocks of the old ferry that the change
is apparent. Beginning at the Bowery
and running eastwaid Giand street is
pel Imps the busiest commercial thor
oughfare? • of the East Side. There are
no •‘To Let” signs anywhere—something
that cannot be said of even Broadway
or Fifth avenue. Business space is at a
premium. Tlie crosstown cars are
crowded. But before the foot of Giand j
i readied tlie street cars are :
empty. They do not run clear down to ;
tlie ferry as of old, but stop two blocks 1
away. There is no need of going fm- 1
tlier, for there is the practical end ot j
liieir trips. Beginning at Coriears
