NIEBAUR ASSAULT CASE.
The examination of j. 4. Neibaur
for his brutal assault OH Editor James
H. Wallis OF the Pest is scheduled to
come up next Thursday. An attempt
was made by the defense last Friday
to try the case in the absence of the
defendant, but District Attorney Bulge
tioe Matthews, in setting the case,
stated that he wanted no further de-
lay in the matter and instructed the
counsel for the defendant to have Mel
baur present without fail when the
case comes on for trial Thursday next
The announcement was made to the
court by Attorney S. ]. Rich that j. a.
Bagley, esq, had Withdrawn from the
case as counsel for the defense. 1t is
oerla hod
no real conception of the gravity of the
situation when he was enlisted to de-
fend Neibaur, and that his reason for
Withdrawing from the case is that his
high standing in the community would
not permit of him ass0ciating himself
in any such a proceeding. Notwith-
standing the strong resolutions adopted
at the Indignation meeting which were
promulgated as the sense of every lead
ing and prominent man in the COM
munity, the sheriff insists upon retain
ing Neibaur as his deputy and having
him attend to all his important office
work.
