Court Matters-An Interesting Case,

February 10th Justice Gillespie is
sued warrant upon complaint of one
Fitzgerald for the person of Kenneth
Mckay, charged with the crime of
grand larceny in the first degree.
Upon request the case was contin-
ued to February 2lst, to enable state
to procure witnesses.
The case was called Feb. 21st at
! O'Clock p. M, prisoner in court. who
waived examinations, ne desiring ef-
ther Attorney Crossfeld or Joe Rey-
nolds. The evidence on part of the
state was taken, going to show that
the said Kenneth Mckay did obtain
a team of Andrew Cook, also his dou-
BILE harness, bob-sleds and Is Sacks.
late on the 18th of Feb, simply to
try one of the horses with a view of
purchasing team of Mr.. Cook, and
at the same time to haul in some
grain. If team suited he was to pay
Cook $l5O, part wheat, part cash. 1t
seems that the said Mckay returned
to Morris and put the team in one of
our livery stables, about IL or o'clock
that night, having load of grain.
giving as reason of his lateness that
he lost his way on the prairie. The
next morning he sold his grain at the
Stewart elevator, and there told that
the grain was from Mr.. III. sherwood,
who owed him wages. He then re-
turns the team to Mr.. Cook, saying
his (McKay'sl wife wished him to
buy span of colts of her father, Mr..
Lawrence Tracy. As to his own
grain and that of his father-in-law
it failed to materialize in court, and
he was placed under bonds of $500,
with two sureties, which he seemed
to lack, and was committed to the
county Jail to wait the action of the
coming grand Jury.

Goods cow, which J. d. had. unbe-

That had been tied in the barn In the
blace recently occupied by the said
