The case of Frank Hersey w. Chas.
Morris came up before Justice Folsom
on Wednesday. Both the plaintiff and.
defendant are Belfeld BARRIERS. It was
charged that Morris and Joe Pavlicek
entered Hersey's shop in the evening,
carrying revolvers in their hands. De-
tendant admitted this to be true, but
claimed that he was in search OF a bur.
glar who had stolen wet goods from the
Pavlicek shop, believing that he had
seen a man fleeing with the "stuH" and
entering this place. Mr.. Hersey said
that no violence was used. and the only
grievance he had was the manner in
which the men entered his place-that
of carrying arms and implying that he
was the person suspic,oned. The jury,
after taking FIVE ballots. returned a YER
dict Of mot guilty" However, as one
juryman stated, if Morris and Pavlicek
had entered some places of business
carrying revolvers. there would likely
have followed a double killing.
There were two peculiar runaways
Wednesday, which caused considerable
excitement. In the forenoon a team.
owned by Frank Dukart, ran from the
Mandan Mercantile Co.'s yards to a
point about three blocks east on Willard
street. When the team was stopped,
not a wheel was left on the wagon and.
what seems more remarkable, not a
thing was broken with the exception of
one short trace. The wheels were fas-
tened to the axle by short pins. which
were thrown out by the bounding of the
wagon over the rough street. The sec-
ond runaway happened at about 6:3o p.
m. when a team. driven by E. S. Clough
of New England, became unmanageable
at the east crossing and ran into a
switching engine. MI. Clough, with his
wife and two children. had just passed
the south track when the horses started
in a run and smashed into the engine
which was On the crossing of the middle
track. Mrs. Clough and baby were
thrown out and badly bruised, but not
seriously hurt. One of the horses had
its hoof torn OFF and had to be killed. 1t
was quite dark at the time of the acct
dent and, if the horses were frightened
by the engine, it is rather strange that
they would run deliberately into it.
