DIVISION OF REWARD
FOR Staying OF TAYLOR
HUMBOLDT DESPERATE

NINNEMGCeA. May 2s.-The
Star says that the private reward of
$1,000 offered BY John G. Taylor for
the capture. dead or alive. of Jim
Taylor. was paid over Monday. Sher-
if Lamb received half the reward.
the other $500 going to J. II. Strick-
land the member of the state po-
lice force who was with the sheriff
when Jim Taylor was killed at Rodeo
Flat last Saturday night II is I'M
derstood that Strick land Will divide
his share of the reward with the two
other members OF the state police
who We're engaged in the hunt for
TAYLOR. but who were not present at
the time OF the shooting.
II is also reported that John q.
Taylor made a present OF $500 each
TO the Hendrix brothers. the men who
were working for him and who We're
the first to locate Jim Taylor. The
Hendrix brothers laid the trap for
Taylor by arranging to buy his
horses. when one OF them came to
Winnemucca and notified Sheriff
Lamb. his ostensible reason for COM
ing here being to get the money to
nav for the horses. Taylor had
threatened the Hendrix brothers with
death az the first sign OF treachery
on their part and insisted that the
money TO be paid for the horses be
entirely in s. pieces.
This money. $3.50 in all, was in
Taylor,s pocket when he was killed,
the shooting having occurred shortly
after the conclusion of the trade,
made beside the campfire between
Taylor and the Hendricks. while
Sheriff Lamb and Strickland, from
their place of eoncealment in the tent
a few feet distant, listened TO the long
talk between Taylor and the Hen
drixes over the transaction.
That Taylor was not bluffing but
intended to engage in duel TO death
with Sheriff Lamb when ordered by
the latter to throw up his hands, was
proved by the finding on Taylor's
body of a - Colts revolver and
belt of cartridges The bandit was
a veritable walking arsenal when he
came into camp that fatal night and
had the sheriff not acted promptly
there is no question that the bandit
would have opened up death deal
ing fusilade on the men whose OBJ
iect it was 10 capture him dead or
alive
In bringing Taylor's desperate and
career to an end Sheriff
Lamb gave the fullest proof of his
in the performance of
duty besides Kidding this part of the
state of a criminal character who
had boosted that he would never be
taken a live and made threats that
he would kill a number OF prominent
stockmen living in that part of the
country

ton for Scientific Therapeutics The
researches of DR. Saious for period
of 20 years have demonstrated that
the great or noble organs of the
human body. such as the heart. lungs.
liver, etc. are really subsidiary TO
the true dominant organs. namely,
the ductless glands, known as the
adrenals. the thyroid and the pitn-
itary body. So snpremely important
part is played by the secretions of
these glands, and especially the pitu-
itary body ar the base of the brain,
in the automatic resistance TO poi
sons in the blood. that this body is
believed to he the real seat of life
in the animal organism. The adj
renal secretion sustains the chief role
in the distribution of oxygen. This
great work, for the first time, makes
an absolutely scientific system of
treatment for disease possible and
makes certain various treatments
heretofore used bnt which were only
guesswork. Dr. Saious is dean of
the Medico-Chirurgical college of
Philadelphia

When the Chicago convention
meets three weeks from next Tues
day it will be able to say good word
for the work which has been done in
the session which is in its closing
days now. The platform makers will
be able to give a good deal OF space
to the work of the president and con-
gress in the four years which have
passed since the latest national con-
vention met. The first session of the
first congress OF President Roosevelt's
present administration did more
really important constructive work
than was performed in any single
session of any congress previously
since the civil war days. This in
cludes the meat inspection, the rail-
way rate regulation, the pure food,
the national quarantine and other
measures of large consequence to the
country The platform makers in
Chicago will have a pleasant task in
calling the roll of the great deeds
of president and congress since the
Inauguration in 1905. and they may

their opportunity
