Detective Riders to Pursue Thieves on Oak Hill
The Intercourse Detective Association held its 79th annual meeting at Oak Hut and appointed 14 horse back riders to pursue thieves, amid a year with only one theft reported, chickens from Benjamin Greider’s farm near Gordonville. A 1907 tale of a wild colt and other horse news followed the era’s horse lore and local fires, including farms losing stock and property in Lancaster and Bartville.
