SAM WAGGONER
Discharged by Judge Burr of the
District Court in Pierce County

Tuesday of last week the case
of the State VS.. Sam Waggoner
came up for trial at the present
term of court in Pierce county,
which is now being held at Rug
by. Upon motion of the defend
ant he was discharged by Judge
Burr. Before he left the room,
however, he was re-arrested on
the charge of forgery in the
fourth degree. He demanded
preliminary hearing at once.
This was given him, and upon
examination, he was again dis
charged.
The case has been an interest
ing one, and has attracted wide
spread attention throughout
Ramsey and the adjoining coun-
ties. The defendant, Wagon
er, is popular and we'll liked and
the disposal of the case meets
with popular favor.
It seems that Waggoner, who
was a former resident of Crary,
and was later employed as agent
for the Duluth Elevator COM
pany at Barton, was arrested on
: the charge of embezzling 1900
] bushels of wheat. $50 bushels OF
flax and As tons of coal, which
rightfully belonged to the com.
pany.
The value of this amount oil
produce was fixed at $1,776. HI
was arrested on this charge May
18th, 1906; he waived examin
alton and was bound over t
await the action of the distric
court in the sum of $1,000. Be
ing unable to furnish bail he wa:
|remanded to Jail. The arres
took place in the town of Rugby
f He was brought to the Ramse.
7 county jail in this city and re
manned incarcerated until Apri
9th, 1907, during which time i
is said that two terms of cour
ihad convened in Pierce county
at neither of which he had beer
given a trial. Last spring h,
managed to procure bail, and a
|~ before stated was liberated from
custody the first part of April.
It seems that Attorney A. E
Coger, states attorney of Pierc
county, was disqualified iron
prosecuting the case at the tria
just completed by the reason O
his having acted as attorney TO
the defendant prior to his recen
election. Tracy Bangs and Chas
y McCooley of Grand Forks wer
j therefore appointed by the cour
! to prosecute the case.
w. M. Anderson, the senio
partner of the law firm of An
derson & Traynor Of this city
represented the defense.
