Alleged Horse Thief.

Williston Press: On Thursday Sam
Payne wa arrested on a warrant issued
seven or eight months ago charging him
with stealing a horse last March from
Charles Baldwin. The accused is a typi-
cal frontier tough, and claims to have
come from Texas a year ago last July.
Last winter he became a member of the
notorious gang which has made its head
quarters opposite Grinnell on the south
side of the Missouri in Stark county, at
the house of SANDY" Hart.
Hart has for a number of years made
his place a rendezvous for outlaws,
horse thieves and other undesirable
characters, and has been repeatedly ar
rested on charges of ho~rse-stealing, kill
ing cattle, etc. Although the technical
proof has been lacking to send Hart and
his associates to the pe%nitentiary, there
has been plenty on which to hold him,
and he has been an inmate of the Dick
inson Jail for different periods aggregat-
ing thirteen months during the last three
years.
Last winter, while Payne was a resi-
dent of this colony of criminals, they, in
CONJUNCTION with the Fee alias Christie
outfit, made things particularly lively for
the settlement on the Williams county
side of the river.
There was a good many cattle killed
unlawfully in that neighborhood during
that winter, the heads and paunches of a
large number being found in the coulees
and brush near the quarters of Payne
and his pals. Payne crossed the river in
March shortly before the river broke, and
into Montana, taking up off the range
and riding away a horse alleged to be-
long to Charles Baldwin. Mr.. Baldwin
spent considerable money searching for
the horse, and found that Payne had
traded him to a ranchman near Wibaux,
Mont, on the Northern Pacific.
Peoples dogs we're poisoned and their
poultry stolen, and Steve Marmon had
several hundred bushels of oats stolen
from his granery. Payne is not only al
legged to have taken a horse, but he and
his partner started off with a saddle
stolen from Seth Folsom the night before,
This they claimed to have bought from a
mysterious Indian whom nobody else
saw. Payne succeeded by some hocus.
pocus in inducing a poor. woman with
four children, Mrs. Smith, to entrust him
with the care of five or six head of cattle
all she had in the woodland then
forced her to replevin them to regain
possession.
After Payne left this spring evidence
was obtained which was thought to be
sufficient to convict for killing a w bar
COW, and Stark county officials got Their
hands on two members of the gang
"Sand" Hart and Johnny Corlett, who
were held in Jail in Dickinson until cour'
set in November, when they were dis
charged for lack of evidence to convict.
1t transpires that they butcherec
another horse belonging to Baldwin fol
meat to feed their dogs.
Payne was on his way from Montana
to rejoin Hart for another season of gaiet,
at Grinnell when Deputy Sheriff Fore
sprung the warrant.
The hearing is set for Monday.
~Later-Payne is held for district court
Ben Holland was also held in $500 as
witness.

Trusty Held Ia Medora Jaa.

Williston Press, Dec. "a, William Trus-
ty, who is living with his wife and two
small children in a log shack on the
south side of the Missouri river about FIVE
miles west of Williston, in Billings coun-
ty, came into Deputy Sheriff William
Ford's saloon and surrendered himself
to that officer, at the same time making
a statement that during the previous
night he had shot and killed William
Barrett, a young man who had been stop
ping with him for the last two months.
The and sheriff of Billings coun-
ty were notified by telegraph and arrived
here Friday afternoon. On Dec. ~ the
inquest upon the dead body of William
Barrett was held in the house where the
deceased met his death.
The building where the homicide &C.
Cured was a one-room log house, l4x24,
which was divided into two apartments
by "a heavy canvas or tarpaulin hung
across one end. One apartment was the
sleeping room and the other the living
room. Trusty and his wife slept in a
bed against the wall on one end, and
along the wall on the opposite end was
the bed of Barrett. Between the two
beds was hung a sheet. which extended
from the end wall of the building to
within two feet of the tarpaulin. On
Trusty's side OF the sheet was the small
bed of the two children, the head next
the sheet.
The body was found lying between
Barrett's bed and the sheet, parallel to
the bed and with the head to the wall.
There was bloody froth frozen upon the
lips, and a pool of blood beneath the
body, which had lain alone in the house
from Wednesday morning until the time
of the inquest.
DR.. Van Dyke of Williston was called
upon by the coroner to make an exami-
nation of the body and found that death
was caused by a rifle ball, which passed
through the right arm close to the Shout
der, breaking the bone and entering the
body.
Mrs. Trusty testified that Wednesday
about three a. m. she got up to cover the
children, her husband being asleep; that
while near the sheet Barrett raised the
sheet and attempted to pull her toward
his bed; she screamed to her husband,
upon which Barrett released her; she
then told her husband what had occurred.
He then jumped out of bed, went GU,
into the living room and took down his
Winchester, and fired two shots from the
living through the tarpaulin in the
| direction of Barrett's bed.
Barrett cried out that he was shot.
Trusty then lit the lamp and raising
the curtain found Barrett lying dead ir
the position described.
At daylight Mrs. Trusty and the two
children went to a neighbours house
where she remained until the inquest.
In answer to questions of the coroner
Mrs. Trusty stated rhat Barrett had at
tempted some freedom with her before
She had told her husband, but he hac
said nothing.
Trusty did not testify at the inquest.
The coroner's jury found that William
Barrett came to his death from a sho
fired from a gun in the hands of Johl
Trusty.
Trusty was taken to Medora.
Trusty was formerly employed as
' brakeman on the Great Northern.
