S S. Preston, who on May 20, 189T,
captured Jim Parker, the train robber,
north of Willow Springs, in lids county,
has brought suit against Wells, Fargo
& Co for the reward offered for Par
ker's arrest. Parker had escaped from
the Prcscott jail and Wells, Fargo &
Co. offered a reward of $1,000 for his
capture. The express company now
refines to pay the reward, henre the
suit. Preston Is certainly entitled to
the reward, as there is no disputing the
fact that he arrested Parker and deliv
ered him to the proper ofllcer, but the
express company wishes to uvold the
payment of the reward because Parker
was convicted for murder Instead of
train robbery".
