KILLED WHILE TRADING HORSES
Trial of GIOystein for Murder 0l
George Smith is Begun.

'N"'se IL beRuh.
NEBRASKA CITY, Feb. S-(Special Tel
egram.) )-The attention of Judge Ramsey
has been occupied yesterday and today by
the trial OF Anton Gloysten for the MUIR
der of George Smith near Syracuse last
May. jury was empaneled after consid-
erable difficulty, as the case has created
much interest in the county. The state is
represented by County Attorney Wilson, as
sisted by Paul Jessen and c. w. Beach.
Hon. John c. Watson, j. V. Morgan and S.
j. Miles are conducting the defense.
The testimony presented by the state
tends to show that the murdered man, who
was horse trader, had gotten into an alter
cation with Gloystein over trivial matter
in connection with a transaction, that he
was being held by two men to restrain him
from attacking the defendant, whereupon
the latter drew a revolver and shot Smith
dead. The state rested its case at 3 o'clock
and the remainder of the afternoon was de-
voted to the introduction OF evidence by
the defense. So far as developed its theory
Is that bystanders were attempting to dis
arm Gloystein when the weapon was dis
charged accidentally. The case will go to
the Jury some time tomorrow. The ses-
sions OF the court are attended by large
crowds OF people.
