COLUMBUS, O., April 19.- Patrick Hunter, aged 51, colored, thought he could collect his own bills. When police today seized him they explained he should not have taken the law into his own hands.

Hunter said Louise Dent, Wolf Run, near Portsmouth, owed him a sum for board and room. He sought to collect. She refused to pay, he declared.

Hunter then hitched up a horse that belonged to Miss Dent and started for Columbus. The woman got on a train to head him off. Five days and night were required by Hunter to drive here. Officers and the woman greeted him. He will face a charge of horse stealing.
