PHILLIPS BOUND OV Err.

Everett Phillips of Sawyer, form
erly of Deerhead, had his prelimi
nary hearing on the charge of at
tempted rape, at Pratt last week.
The justice of the peace found
probable cause to the extent that he
required Phillips to put up a bond
for his appearance at district court
in the amount $4,000. He failed
to give 1t and was sent back to Jail.
The evidence, according to the
Pratt Union, developed lot of
rank stuff and if the testimony OF
the girl in the case is true, the
young man must be all animal.
Looks like the boy has contracted
for a good job at Lansing.
