The organized gang of log thieves which has been operating along the upper Mississippi river, is still continuing its depredations, and lumbermen, steamboat men and log owners are at their wits' end as to what to do to put an end to their thieving, says the Dubuque Telegraph-Herald. It was thought that the agitation which was had over the matter last spring would have the effect of decreasing the occurrence of. the theft of logs but instead the thieves are bolder than ever, and their operations are more extensive than ever. Steamboat men no longer dare to tie a raft to shore, in this vicinity, for the thieves not only steal the logs and make away with them but steal lines and ropes as well.
