THE THREE LEADING CRIMINAL
GAMER

THE THREE LEADING CRIMINAL ),
CASE& E
When we went to press last week We
stated that the criminal caxes were I'm
in Court and that the case OF VIM.
Quick, indicted for horse stealing, was
on. The case began Wednesday after
noon. with Prosecuting Attorney Geo.
W. Wilson for the State and d. Rohrer
and l.. S. Nelson for the defense. The
case was given to the jury about 4 O..
clock on Thursday afternoon and after
being out about Is minutes, the jury re.
turned a verdict of ''Guilty.'' The gen.
eral impression is that Quick will be
sent to Saltwater for the full term
which, we believe, is seven years. He
has not yet received sentence.
Our readers probably need not be re.
minded that Quick was arrested in
June last by Sheriff Miller, assisted by
posse of citizens, while in the act Of
taking two horses belonging to H. G.
Shepard & Co., from the Fair Grounds,
across the lake. He was reported at
the time as belonging to gang which
has its headquarters in the Bad Lands
of Dakota and which ''works'' all the
communities bordering on Dakota.
Quick is said to be Il desperate "cow-
boy" Be this as it may. Sheriff Miller
and his posse did one of the handsom.
est jobs in that line ever done in Min.
nesota, and broke up the raid of the
gang on Mobiles county for some time
at least.
The case of the State vs.. John War
rem, indicted for larceny, was tried on
Friday last. The jury were out all
night and disagreed. Another jury
was impanelled yesterday and the case
is being retired. Prosecutor Wilson
appears for the State and Messrs R0llr.
er and Nelson for the defence.
Warren, it will be remembered, was
arrested ut Adrian, charged with break.
ing into the hardware store of Glen.
mons 4 Crandall, and stealing y gun,
some pocket knives, etc. Warren is
scarcely more than a boy, not more than
Is or 20 years of age, and may be a
dime novel victim who wanted to arm
himself for 4 career in the West, as SO
many smart youths are reported as dc.
ing. -
The case of the State vs.. Frank En-
mig, indicted for manslaughter in the
second degree. opened on Monday, will
Prosecutor Wilson for the State and ]
). Nelson and u. Rohrer for the de.
fence. The case went to the jury about
O'Clock on 'Cuesday. After being out
about 5 minutes, the jury returned =
verdict of Not Guilty." Ennig, &C
companied by his atfianced, took the
train for Adrian a happy man.
Judge Severance took occasion, il,
his :arge, to deliver a brief temperance
lecture, referring the cause of the diff
Guilty to the in,oXication of the mfor
tunate man who was killed.
