Lyman County Court Cases
H. G. Preston returned Friday
onhthe freight from Chamberlain,
where he has been attending court
this week. The term has been a busy.
one and several important cases have
been heard. Mr.. Preston stated that
this week an important term of
court would begin in Lyman county,
which will be presided oyer by Judge
Smith. There will be about 20 Grim
inal cases tried, all Of which are for
cattle rustling. The most important
will be that of the notorious Jack
Sully. who has been in the cattle
rustling business on the reservation
for a good many years, and until the
present time he has successfully
.eluded the officers OF the law but it
is a long road that has no turn and a
good long comfortable term in the
,penitentiary is staring him in the
face, that is if it is possible for the
officials to convict him. Heretofore
it has been a difficult matter to Sc
cure convictions OF these cattle rust
ling cases in Lyman county for the
reason that the greater share of the
residents in that county are afraid to
convict one Of these men for fear
that revenge will be taken on their
stock and again it is nearly impos-
sible to secure a jury but what has
some.of the friends Of the rustlers;
and the jury usually disagrees. 1t
is not a very bright outlook for the
officials. Eighty jurors have been
summoned for the term Of court.
