       $100 Reward.  The writer will give one hundred dollars for the name of the thief and the return of an unmarked fawn colored Jersey two-year-old heifer, branded A Z A on left side, which was stolen from Fisher Bros. pasture in July, 1906.
       We do not ask for the conviction of the thief, or proof that he stole the animal "beyond a reasonable doubt, but just common old proof that he stole it; that is all we want to know.
       In case the animal is delivered to us together with the name of the thief who stole it, the person delivering the same will not be required by us to trouble himself by going to court with it.
       The above reward does not include two charges of buckshot, funeral expenses and obituary of the thief--that will be furnished free.  No flowers.--Sterling City Record.
