CHARLES LEVAN WAS
DECLARED NOT GUILTY.

No Evidence Adduced to Show That
He Conducted Policy Lottery.
After trial lasting scarcely, more
than twenty minutes, in which no evil
dence was adduced to show the guilt Of
the accused, but in which the testi-
mony tended to prove the contrary
Charles H. Levan was yesterday ac-
quilted in the Superior Court Of the
charge against him of conducting a
policy shop.
The states case was so weak that
it was plainly evident to the spectators
that the jury could not possibly find
otherwise than the way it did. There
was but one witness for the state, a
negro named Mack Jones, on whose
testimony the indictment was returned
a short time ago. Jones did not know
whether the defendant conducted a
gambling establishment or not, but ne
said be had seen him spin a wheel on
one occasion. Further than this he
knew nothing.
The defendant declared that he new
er knew Jones and had never seen
him before to his knowledge. He said
he had taken no part in gambling for
more than six years, and had nothing
to do with any policy schemes. 1t was
possible that the witness had seen him
in a gambling ROOM but he doubted 1t.
The straightforward statement of the
defendant was believed by the jury in
preference to the testimony of the ne
gro who acknowledged that he had
been a policy writer for some time,
until recently.
r. A. Hackett pleaded guilty to the
charge Of conducting a policy shop
preferred against him. Judge Barrow
reserved his sentence until this morn
ing, at which time he will pass judg-
ment on him and on w. Cuyler, who
Will plead guilty when his case Is call
ed. Both are charged with the same
offense. The bond of Mamie Wash
ington, who was arrested in one of
the recent policy raids, was eStreated
yesterday, as he failed to appear when
his case was called.

Bold Bad Men.

Two genuine crooks struck town
last Thursday evening, both APP
parently we'll supplied with bogus
money which they proceeded to
unload on our merchants. They
first made a small purchase at the
store Of Birkinbine & Brown, hand
ing Guy Brown a ten dollar bill in
payment. Being unable to make
the change Guy took it to VIM.
Stems saloon where lie got the
change. They then went to the
Cash Bargain Store where they
made another small purchase and
handed the clerk, John Wentz, an
other ten dollar bill, which he took
and gave them the change. The
fraud was discovered by Mr.. Steen
before the fellows left town, and
they were compelled to surrender
the goods purchased from Birkin-
bine & Brown and the money re-
ceived, but the other offense was
not discovered until after they
were gone. When w. r. Smith
arrived and learned of the transac-
ton he at once te%lephoned to U. s..
Marshal Kennedy Of Sioux Falls.
Mr.. Kennedy was not at home but
fortunately a U. S. detective was
in the city, and he reached here
Saturday al one o'clock. In the
mean time Mr.. Smith had notified
the officers in the surrounding
towns. The fellows were located
on Saturday in Tyndall and we're
arrested by Sheriff Mcpherson, but
not until after they had passed two
more counterfeit bills in that city.
They were taken to Sioux Falls
Monday in charge Of Sheriff Nc
Pherson and Dept. U. S. Marshal
Petrie, where they will probably
have an opportunity to dress stone
at the pen for a while. Marshal
