Ellensburgh Register April Z: Superior
Judge c. B. Graves this morning sentenced
Felix Shaser to two years hard labor in the
penltentiary at Waila Walla. Shaser is
we'll known in the county as staggering,
clustering bully whose sole ambition seemed
to ELL up with corn-juics and then brow
beat and bulldoze anyone who mighn be so
unfortunate as to cross his majesty's path.
The crime for which Shaser was sentenced
was for the stabbing of William Lee, last
winter, at a dance in Wenatchee. Shaser
walked up to Lee and deliberately spat III
his face following up this flppant insult by
Yicionsly sstabbing Lee with knite. The
general sentiment seems to be that Shaser
received his just deserts and that Judge
Graves in giving him the full extent of time
never gave a sentence more IN accordance
with justice.
