Justice Krayer, on Sunday evening, and
asked to be sent up for thirty days. Sew
eral citizens were in the Office at the time,
all of whom were satisfied that the man
was not tramp. He was soldier, having
recently been discharged from the volun-
teer service. He showed his papers to

place to place trying to find something to
do. When entering town he applied to a
house for something to eat, and when he
approached the door dog bit him on the
leg in two places, making bad wounds.

case created much indignation. and one
county official present said he would make
it his business to place the facts before
the members of the investigating COM

tice Krayer sent the man to Jail however,
without any charge to the county. A
request was also made that the mans
wounds be given medical attention at
once. In case the fellow could not stay at
the Jail, A A Anderson said that he
would make personal application to have
him committed to the hospital. This is
one of the difficulties the justices now have
to overcome under the present law.
