The Protective and Detective As
ocintion has now been two years and
a half in exigence and under the ju
dicious inan.igeinent ot its otllcers
has eurmouiiled all iu dilflcultics,
and lias come to ihu (rout with n
record that it may well be proud of.
On January the Hist of this year
the Association, in its paper "The
Kstrny Itecord of Texas," had a list
taken from i's hooks of nit the slock
branded, stolen or strayed, and all
recovered, and it shows a percentage
of ,ovcr ninely-tive terovered, this
extending buck to the dale when the
Association was in its infancy, when
the protection waa not what it is to
day, aril as it extends so will the
protection be greater. Anyone ol
tioiiud judgii-cnt can see that the As
sociation I'as surmounted its dillicul
ties. They havu now over three
hundred v.mkiu agents in Texas
and nearly lilty liere, and hope soon
to be able to ivporl u hundrid, and
it is thoroughly ndvcilic(? through
out he adjoining stales, consequent
ly they havu not in one cae out of
live to pay the reward of
$100 for diploic and conviction of a
thief, foe the reason that a thief will
not ngw-handlu a Iioiho branded with
the letter, C it invariably gives him
nwuy, ir'cuuuol dispose of it, con
sequently' he does nut want 'it, unlesa,
he thinks :fie can get rid of St, and
inc consequences are ueiore lie can,
gel very Ur tlieiu are hundreds ol
iliscriptioii of that horse printed of
fering $100 reward lor .the capltiYc
and conviction of the thief, and sent
out oveillm Staled and. 'lVrriltiiie.s,
into the lia'nds of all theii agenlM
and .llit! lit!'i(;iil bheiill's. The lltii-f,
iiuUsrt he-Uury green, knows this,
and if he d(oes not he will learn bel
ter I lie next. lime.
Tlio AssiM'intion was chartered by
t c statu of Texas November 0O1I1,

Tliu Association issues a cerlillcate
for -very animal bramled and ivis

from Ihe general ottice or the branch

The size of thu Association's

Atoka, I. T., Feb. 10, 1884.
Kditor Hiundixo Inox :
Dkah Sin: The great nim of the
Protective and Detective Association
is to arrange a complete network of
L'uarils r.rouud all stock taken under
its protection so as to render such
stock iis(;(ss to thieves. This wc
do by liiving the owner of a C horse
a ccrlilicatu (which is a title to his
horse although the horse is in our
brand.) A thief may ste:d the horse
but he cannot get thu title, and the
V brand is now so well advertised
Unit no sensible man wants to buy
such a horcu without the .title. This
is what we. mean by saying that our
aim is lo render such stock worthless
to thieves. Our modu of proceeding
has bueu prulty fully explained in
another article, but all know that we
hav to depend largely on agents fr
the detail work throughout tliu coun
try. We try to u.-o diullion iu ap
pointing such agents and we gener
ally etgoo'd ones, I ut wu meet and
have to overcome the same dillleiil
ties that other enterprises do in the
selection ot help. Hut wc especial
ly have cause to be careful for the
errors or misconduct of any of our
agents recoils on the Asociatiou
with very injurious etl'ecl, and we
cannot ntford to support any unwor
thy agent, knowingly. Our aim, as
stated above, may never lie tullvaiid
in all particulars attained, yet the
more earnestly and zealously all en-'
,ngcd wink and watcl ,'lie more near-1
ly we will succeed, rmcouraged 1 y '
very gratifying results thus far wu 1
expect to go on until we ge gel a
