REWARD IS SOUGHT
DR.. HINES, COUNTY PHYSICIAN,
STILL TRYING TO COLLECT
AFTER 81 YEARS.
CAPTURED HORSE-THIEF IN 1890
Claim Passed Through the Hands of
Three Judges, but 1t Was Never
Paid-Now He Appeals to
Courts to Oroer Payment.

Minneapolis.-Dr. James Hines has
age and persistency to collect re-
ward from the county of Hennepin
than it does to capture the horse thief
for whom the reward was offered.
DR.. Hines speaks from experience,
for he caught up to and captured the
horse thief in few days and sent him
to the penitentiary; but he has been
after the reward for 81 years and he
has not caught it yet.
But DR.. Hines says that the courage
which enabled him to bring the stealer
of horse flesh to justice 81 years ago
still lives within him, and he made
renewed effort to obtain 5000 which
he says the county owes him as a re-
ward.
Court Commissioners Retained.
He retained Court Commissioner
Bates as counsel and expert on horse
thief rewards, and Mr.. Bates listened
to the whole thrilling story of how
the horses were stolen, the pursuit,
the capture and the court scene when
the man was sentenced to many years
in Saltwater
All this was very much like one of
the melodramic chase scenes from
the Western plains, as depicted by the
moving picture machines.
Then followed the story of the fruit
less pursuit of the 5000 the county ad-
vertised to pay for the capture of the
thief, whose name is given as William
Hunter. DR.. Hines made application
for the reward in the court of Judge
Seagrave Smith, but the judge died
before deciding the claim of the val
liant capturer of the horse thief.
Two More Judges Pass 1t.
In 1898 DR.. Hines made another eff
fort before William Lancaster, then
Judge, who turned the claim over to
Judge e. M. Johnson, who soon after
retired from Office without rendering
decision.
Mr.. Bates thinks he can prove his
case at hearing today set for Aug.
IL. At least Mr.. Bates looks for no
testimony in opposition. The horse
thief has served his term and all
trace of him was lost when he left the
prison. And DR.. Hines, Mr.. Bates
says, is ready to tell in court his
whole thrilling narrative, concluding
with the tale of his difficulties in max
ing the county settle.

Important to Mothers
Dying by ORGANS.

1t has been discovered that If a
human being dies after an ordinary
illness, and not violent death. he
does not die all over and all at once.
He may have a diseased liver, heart
or lung, and this may be the cause
of his death; but it has been found
that if the diseased organ could have
been replaced by a healthy one life
might have been maintained indefi-
nitely. This is no imagination or
speculation. It has been confirmed
by the most careful experiments by
the ablest medical scientists in the
country.-Leslie's Weekly.
