a dispatch from Hillsboro, Ohio, to
the Cincinnati Gazette, Feb. 10, gives
the following account Of the pursuit of
the Black Hills robber:
No tidings have been received from
the officers who started in pursuit of
McKenna yesterday. They are expe-
lrienced men, and hopes are INDUCED
that they have struck his trail, and are
encouraged, at least, to keep up the
hunt. Quite a quantity of leaves,
stones, etc., literally sprinkled with
blood, were brought to the Gazette office
for inspection. They were picked up
along the route he is supposed to have
taken. A rumor vas current on the
street to-day that a man answering Nc
Kenna's description passed through
Belfast at 2 O'Clock yesterday after
noon Belfast is ten miles from here,
and in the direction he is thought to
have taken. Seth Bullock, the Dead
wood officer, arrived here this morning
from Tecumseh, Mich, whittier he had
gone on a visit. He issued handbills
on arrival here, offering $500 reward in
addition to the 500 offered by the
sheriff of this county, and started i'm
m%ediately, together with Deputy Unit
ed States Marshal Doggett, in pursuit
of McKenna. 1t is thought that the
Governor will also offer a reward for
his recapture.

We would call strict attention to the
annual statement of the Mutual Life
Insurance Company Of New York, in
another part of this paper. This COM
pany is known as the largest, strongest
and safest insurance company in the
world. Since the organization of the
company it has paid to policy holders:
For death claims and endowments,
S41, $3.50, 947; dividends, S45, 436, 759;
surrender of policies, 1874, O72, 1853; to-
tai, 1921, 146, $50, and the present as
sets amount to more than SS5, OO0, 900.
The company thus presents insurance
u~neQualled by any similar institution.
This. company has never disputed a
claim that vas shown to be just and
right therefore, those that desire safe
life insurance are invited to call on
