TROUBLE OVER REWARD
Captives Of Gilbert BIeedhorn Asks
Courts Decision.
From Wednesdays Daily.

/
The Little Falls Transcript publishes
! a report of the hearing before Judge
| Buckham of Faribault of the claimants
for the rewc-d of the capture of Gil
bert Bleedhorn who is well known in
| this county.
Chief of Police TOurtillOtte and Pa
trolman Robert Leblanc, accompanied by
their attorneys, l.. w. Nasaly and Don.
| NJ Cameron, have returned from Fari-
baut, Mimi. where they had a hearing
! Saturday before Judge Buckham of the
| fifth district on the awarding of the re-
ward of 5000 offered for the arrest of
Gilbert Bleedorn, the New Richand
horse thief who was apprehended in this
city on July 6, 1906.
Bleedorn stole a horse and buggy in
| New Richland some time in April and
made good his escape though he was
! forced to leave the stolen property be-
hind him. He was traced as far as
New Ulm in Brown county and there
his tracks were lost. Nothing farther
was heard from him until July 6, when
Patrolman Leblanc arrested him here
for being drunk and disorderly. He
gave his name as Brooks on being ar
rested and claimed to be living in Ran
dali town. Leblanc reported to Chief
| Tourtillotte in the morning and on in
speeding the prisoner Chief TOurtillotte
Unidentified him as Gilbert Bleedorn from
a photograph furnished by the state
prison authorities.
| Chief Tourtillotte held the prisoner
and both he and Leblanc entered
claim afterward for the standing reward
of 5000 offered by the state for the
sequently got four years in Saltwater.
| When Chief Tourtillotte and Leblanc
got to Faribault they found two other
claimants for the reward beside the
sheriff of Waseca county. Sheriff Col
| Inns of Waseca county claimed the re-
ward on the ground that he had sent out
a description of the man wanted and
had furnished TOurtillOtte the informa-
ton by which he held the man. Thomas
| Courtney, the marshal of New Richland,
claimed it because he had assisted in the
pursuit, and J. c. Lynch, owner of the
buggy and harness, claimed the reward
because he had got out some cards and
other descriptions of the man wanted.
None of Lynchs cards figured in the
Identification of the prisoner, however,
Leblanc claims the reward for arrestimg
the man, and Chief Tourtillotte thinks
it should be his for recognizing him and
holding him for horse thief.
Attorney d. NJ Cameron says that in
his opinion the reward will be split
among the two local sleuths and the
sheriff of Waseca county and the mar
shall of New Richland. He thinks that
Lynch's claim to the reward is not suf.

Happiness in a
Grain of Wheat
1t Contains Every Food Element
Necessary for Mans Sustenance.

All authorities agree that fourteen
elements are needed in the human body
to sustain perfect health and that
these must be supplied in the food
taken into the system. Nature has
provided us with one single article of
food containing all of these fourteen
elements in the exact proportions ne
cessary to supply our bodies with vi
tality, strength and heat. This food,
so wonderful in it's composition. is
wheat, and intelligent men and women
are coming to realize more and more
that in the whole of the wheat is found
the secret of health and happiness.
Rich in the nitrates, or muscle-mak-
ing elements, the carbonates, or heat
producing elements, and the phos-
pilates, or brain and nerve-making
elements. the whole grain of wheat
supplies every necessity for mans body
and mind.
This is how Malta-Vita came to be
known as "The Perfect Food" for
Malta-Vita is simply the whole of the
wheat and a little salt. thoroughly
steamed and cooked in absolute clean
illness, then mixed with pure barley
malt extract. which converts the starch
of the wheat into maltese, or malt
sugar, an active digestive agent and
very nutritious as WELL

Messrs. Wallie and Harry Anderson
entertained about thirty of their friends

other evening. Miss Lizzie Coughlan
and Nose Edwards won the head prizes
and Lille Anderson carried off the foot
prize. Several were out from town.
among them were Mr.. and Mrs. G. An
derson, Ray Bradshaw and Charlie An
derson. The latter, although raised on
the farm, seemed to think that all
places are as comfortable as the City

came out here with low shoes, and wore
a derby hat, but was very glad Sat
urday morning when he drove back to
town to wear pair of his ancestors

QUALITIES OF WIT AND HuMoR.
Alike, Yet in Many Ways Fundament.
ally Different.

Wit and humor are such elemental
fundamental things that it has always
been found difficult to analyze them,
says a writer in The Atlantic. Upon
some points, however, those who have
essayed this puzzling tack agree, for
they all hold that wit is an intel
lectual. humor an emotional, quality;
that wit is a perception Of resem-
blance. and humor a perception OF
contrast, of discrepancy, of incongru-
ity. The incongruity is that which
arises between the ideal and the fact,
between theory and practice, between
promise and performance; and per-
haps 1t might be added that 1t is al
ways or almost always a moral in
congruity. In the case both of wit
and humor there is also a pleasurable
surprise, Il gentle shock, which ac-
companies our perception Of the hith-
erto unsuspected resemblance or in
congruity. A New England farmer
was once describing in the pres
ence of a very humane person the
great age and debility of a horse that
he formerly owned and used, "You
