REWARD Is DlVID Ed
capters Of Blesdhorn the Horse Thief
Get Their Share.
From Fridays Daily.

Notice was received Wednesday from
Clerk of Court Henry Reynolds of
Waseca county at the office of L. w.
Vasaly that decision has been filed
in the case recently brought before
Judge Buchanan of the Fifth district
regarding the division of the 5000 re-
ward for the arrest of Gilbert Bleed
orn, the New Richland horse thief who
was apprehended in this city last July.
Five claimants put in an appearance
at the time: Chief of Police Tourtil-
lotte and Robert Leblanc of this city,
Sheriff Frank Collins of Waseca coun-
ty, and James c. Lynch and Constable
Thos. Courtney of New RichIand. The
story of both of the local parties is
well known to the residents of this
city. Sheriff Collins made the claim
that he had had cards out which led
to the arrest of the prisoner, and
similar claim was made by Mr.. Lynch.
The prisoner was arrested from the de-
scription on one of Mr.. Collins cards.
None of Mr.. Lynch's reached this city
Constable Courtney assisted in the
pursuit of the criminal and put in
plea on this ground.
The Judge allowed VIM. Tourtillotte
and Sheriff Collins each one-t third of
the total reward amounting in each
instance to $66. &C 2-3 while both
Messrs. Courtney and Lynch got $685.
33 l.3 apiece. Leblanc was not men,
toned. A memorandum of some length
was attached to the order.
Chief Tourtillotte is not satisfied
with the division made in the reward
and thinks that there is considerable
element of politics mixed in with the
decision, especially as the other claim
ants are Waseca county men in the
Fifth district.-Little Falls Transcript.
