THURSTON
GRIM is
RELEASED
After Hearing Before
Judge 0'DOnald
Clearly Acted in Defence of
HIS LIFE.
JuStifiable Homicide While
Engaged in Executing the
Law.

The Roppel family arrived in Salem
at 6:20 Wednesday evening, and the
trial Ct Thurston Grim was continued at
seven o'clock and was completed at ten.
The entire list OF witnesses were exam
iued yesterday, the trial resulting in
the case against Grim being dismissed
by Judge O'Donald.
Mrs Roppel testified as follows:
Thurston Grim had torn down the
fence the day before the shooting. This
allowed some stock TO get out. Her hus-
band was away from home at the time,
but when he returned reconstructed the
fence. They were about their work again
tearing down the fence, and che told her
husband that they could not allow such
business. Mr.. and Mrs. Roppel went
toward Grim and she called TO him to
stop emoving the fence and got off that
land. This order was repeated by Rop-
pei. Grim kneeled down on the ground,
and their con, who was coming up the
hill, and he called TO them that Grim
was going to shoot. Grim then raised
up and fred two shots, and she called to
her husband TO lie down, but he was ly-
ing on the ground and holding his body.
In all eight shots were fred by Grim,
FIVE being shot after he reached the coun'
ty road. She believed that Grim'G son
handed the revolver TO his father. She
did not examine the fence, neither did
she zee anything of gun that morning.
She stated that one OF the bullets fired
by Grim passed through her hair, and
che saw another passing near her
through the air.
The thirteen-year old con Fred, OF
Mrs. Roppel was called, and gave the
facts the same as the other members ol
the family with the exception that he
said his father had a gun in his hands,
He said his brother brought the gun
| 10 his father and asked him to shoot
his father had already been shot, but
was raised to his knees by the aid Of hi'
mother, and he took the gun and made
an effort TO raise it but could not
George, the eight-year old con was the
one who took the gun to his 'ather, bu
hi father did not use it.. The gun wa
not kept loaded at any time.
At 8:l2 the prosecution was completed
aud the defense opened with the tesli-
mony of j. j. Murphy, clerk OF the gu
preme court. He testified as to tn
good character Of Thurston Grim, whom
he had known for years.
Mr.. McDonagal was next called. H'
lives near Aurora but never saw Ropp
unit! the day after ne was shot. II
went into the house with Mr.. sandblas
and was shown the different points @
; location in the matter In observing III
bullet holes in the picket, he ob'erve
r that one bullet had passed through th
picket from the house. While 10 H.
house he took the gun down from h
b wall. He found il TO be a 32-calibr

noon. On Thursday they gradually
worked toward the Roppel place, setting
stakes along the road, Reaching the
Rappel place, they found the stakes
removed, but replaced them. On Fri
day morning these stakes we're gone. BY
measuring from the center stake, he
was placing the stake on the Roppel
land. Just as he finished this, he heard
Mrs. Roppel call something. His sonHugh
told him to get off OF that land as Roppel
was coming. He heard Roppel say
"Hand me the rifle and I'll
fix him." He crossed the fence
and turned, 10 see Roppel coming
toward him in a STOPPING position. Rop-
pei then fired, Grim fred in reply and
three shots we're exchanged by each in
this way. The others Of his party called
to him TO run, and as they we're going,
Grim started to go also. He then saw
Roppel take deliberate aim at him
and fire. Roppel then fell and said he
was shot. Grim said that he went there
under the order Of Kraus and had nc
idea of the trouble occurring. He was
In the county road when the firing ws'
done.
VIM. Miley was next called, and testi
fed as to Grim's character as q peaceful
law a biding citizen, as also did JudO'
Hubbard, A. S. Cane and Ed Croisan.
The case was briefly presented to th'
court by the attorneys, Maxwell & Hay
den leading with their case. They tool
the view that the killing was in self
defense, and proved these facts by tn,
evidence Of disinterested people. Th'
Roppel family offered testimony in di
rect contradiction to the others, but no
all OF this was accepted, on account O
their naturally biased feeling in tn
matter, and Mrs. Roppel was abnor
mally excited, 80 as to give wron
, statement of the facts. Judge O'Donal
sustained these facts, deciding that th
, killing was a juStifcAble homicide, an
the case against tbs defendant was diI
missed.

NOTES OF PROGRESS.

According to insurance statistics
teetotalers may expect II years more
life than drinkers.
Mayor Hart of Boston, in a talk be.
fore a temperance society of that
city the other day, said that no gen.
tleman ever went into a saloon.
Saloonists are obiecting to the ex-
tension of the rural free delivery
system. Taking the farmers mail
to his door daily obviates the neces-
sity of his coming to town so often
and hence, of course, "enjoying the
privilege" of visiting the booze dis
pensary as often as he otherwise
could, without going especially for
that purpose. Philosophical fell
lows these saloonists are!-Backbone.
The state liquor license law of
South Dakota prohibits the sale of
liquor to habitual drunkards, any
violator of the law being liable for
damages incurred by the drunkard
while intoxicated. This clause in the
law, which was practically a dead let
ter, has been brought to public at
tention by Mrs. Mary Garrison, of
Sioux Falls, who has commenced suit
against three saloonkeepers for sell
ing liquor to her husband, resulting
in his death.

Two maltese kittens, who make their
home in a Third avenue saloon, go
down into the cellar as soon as they
can get there after the saloon opens
up and come upstairs again scarcely
able to walk. The proprietors offered
them a saucer of beer, but they refused
to drink it, but laid their noses over
the edge of the saucer, inhaling the
fumes of the beverage, and in few
minutes staggered away to fall asleep
in some out-of-the-way Place. An in,
vestigation showed that the cats had
a nest in the cellar alongside a cask of
ale. The kittens inhaled the fumes
from the open bunghole and in that
way got drunk every day.
