man gave his name as A. F. Jones.

IN Minnesota, and he declared that he
had license, but on my asking him
to show it, he said it was in his trunk.

been disposed of.

see what rights he had under it, and
he replied that he was lawyer.

yesterday which was billed from La
kota, N. D., to Chicago. He told me to
seize it, for he said it contained game.
L tested the trunk and found that it had
no game in it. We then had a dispute
over my right to seize his game and I
referred him to an attorney. He said
he would consult a lawyer and would
have me prosecuted. He told me that
he was stopping at the Ryan hotel, and
that he would stay to see me punished

agreed to do so, but did not show up.
He then asked me to go out to take a
drink and I went with him. We then
parted, after shaking hands, The next
saw of him was when he pounded me
