SHfRIff QUINE AIDED IN LOCATING "JIMMY" GLASS Of LOUISVILLE Sheriff George Quine, of this city, probably deserves much of the credit for the detainment at Spokane of a lad answering the description of Jimmy Glass, who was kidnapped from his home in Pennsylvania by gypsies a few years ago. Sheriff Quine received a photo graph of the boy two weeks ago, and upon learning that a band of gypsies were camped near Spokane he sent the likeness to the officers of that city. Yesterday word was received here that the boy had been found and Is being held by the Spokane officers pending identification. The mother of the kidnapped lad hia been notified of her son's recov ery, and will probably arrive In Spo kane within the next few days. MOVIK MAN' HKItK.
