day and it took the jurymen less
than an hour to bring in their verdict Of
guilty. The evidence Of the complain
ant, Chas. R. Faris and other witnesses
during the trial was mainly the same tes-
tilted to at the preliminary hearing four
months ago. The defendants had retain
ed AS counsel Attorney George M. Price
who gave them as able defense AS the
circumstances of the case allowed of.
States Attorney Dickson secured their
conviction and establishes a precedent
that should afford healthy example
to others similarly tempted.

following the finding of a true bill in the
wheat stealing case they had been going
over the wlnnowings of at least one Of the
old Langdon drug store liquor cases.
The case against the Donovan drug store
had been selected by active prohibition
lists for investigation and subpoenas were
sent around the town and country at a
lively rate, at one time yesterday Sheriff
Pinkerton having nine deputies out with
livery rigs after witness. The jury how
ever found nothing to warrant sending
the case into court. Nothing was accom-
plished either by the effort of William
Leach to get redress for an affidavit
made by parties at the time of the old
drug store cases we're tried. His desire
was to prove that they perjured them
selve in swearing that he was an habitna]
drunkard.

This case has attracted considerable at,
tention owing TO the fact that the young,
men are of much prominence. Strong
suspicion rested upon them as the guilty,
parties long before a confession was.
made, but nc evidence could be secured
to convict them. Finally the young mems
sense Of honor was appealed to and they
confessed. leaving the matter to Twelve
representative citizens OF the town, whof
met in the courthouse ON the 10Th day OF
July and decided that inasmuch as the
young men had expressed their sorrow
