Bail was fixed at 500. but Mullen refused
TO furnish it or allow any one else to be-

ter 10 enter his own recognizance. The
trial of the case occupied nearly six hours.
Inc government was represented by Uni

As the result of a consultation between
the county officials at Pender early this
morning It was decided to request the
citizens of the town to keep away from
the Winnebago agency during the trial
of the sheriff.
The court was held in a vacant room
OF the house of man named Beever

TO his present judicial position about a
month ago, and this case was first to come
into his court. The testimony was con-
elusive and the defense had no evidence.
The sheriff was clearly outside his juris-
diction. This case was made so important
by the federal attorneys in order to em-
phasize the superiority of the national
over the state authority.
