Owing to dispute as to whom it
rightfully belongs the reward for the
capture of Holiday, the convicted train
robber, has not yet been paid. The re-
ward offered for Holzhay's capture

Wisconsin Central, ST. 900; Milwaukee,
Lake Shore and Western, $1,000; Post
Office Department, $1,000; and the town
of BelIeville, I'LL, where Fleishbein, the

not be paid because the highwayman was
not convicted of robbing the mails. This
leaves So, 100 to be divided among the
captors.
