John Hein is Taken

Minneapolis, Jan. 27.--John Hein, who is wanted in this city on the charge of forging the name of F. W. Schmidt to a mortgage deed, was captured yesterday at Castle, N. D. and will be brought to this city at once. Hein's wife has been under arrest since Dec. 14, and has been confined in the county jail with her three-year-old child, being unable to furnish the $2,000 bond demanded. Hein, it will be remembered, secured from Schmidt deeds and abstracts to valuable farm property at Medicine Lake, under the pretense of making a sale. In reality he mortgaged the property to Burns Bros. for $2,500, representing himself to be Mr. Schmidt and having his wife make affidavit that she was Mrs. Schmidt and sign the deeds. Hein received $500 in each and a team of horses, and would have received the balance had not the trick been discovered through the lapsing of some fire insurance on the farm buildings.
