County Attorney Sulgrove filed a com
plant against Thomas MahiX at Pond
, era last Monday, charging him with in
voluntary manslaughter, in having
, caused the death of Joseph Scherbach
! by hitting him on the head with a rock
= during a scuffie which occurred at that
place on June 18th. The examina ton
, was held by Geo. W. Magee justice OF
the peace for Dupuyer township as FL
= D. Jones the recently appointed justice
, at Pondera had not yet qualified. j. 81.
/. Erickson acted as counsel for Manix and
the testimony of all of the eye witnesses
to the ARRAY, and of DR.. Steains the
physician who attended Scherbach, was
taken. The testimony was OF such g
nature as to leave no doubt of the de-
PENDANTS innocence and he was conse-
3 q~uently discharged. That Scherbach
had been hit by a rock thrown by Mani1
y was not denied, but all of the circum
Il stances as related by the witnesses es
tablished the fact that the whole affair
was free from anger. The unfortunate
o result according to DR.. Stearn's testl-
mony, did not necessarily follow the in
o jury, and it is probable that Scherbach
would nave recovered if he had received
proper treatment. The great sensation
s, stirred up by the Great Falls papers
n over the affair has done no good, and tn
d people of this county tlwill be satisfied
IL with the action taken by it's officers.
