than one. He is privileged character

a wandering disposition, his fondest
hopes in that direction are easily real

cording TO the c7ston prevailing among

At the trial he pleaded guilty and
was given ten years in States prison to
mediate upon his escapade and to de-
wise a more skillful plan of operation

forth at the trial furnished the large
crowd in attendance with great deal
of merriment, especially when Nyburg
told how frightened the robber was at
his jackknife.
