Ones Handled ] week.
Glandered Horses Go to Court.
Several cases were handled in Justice
A. P. Folsom's court the past week. On
Monday the case of the state vs.. Charles
Staples, charged with grand larceny,
was heard. 1t will be remembered that
Staples was the party arrested at Medora
for the alleged stealing of a team owned
by Lyon & Son of this city. At the hear.
ing sufficient evidence was produced to
send the man to the penitehtiary. He
was bound over to the district court with
bail fixed at $1,000. He could not get
bail and letters addressed to the Stark
county Jail will be sure to reach Mr.. Sta
Piles until after the September term Of
court. L>
On Tuesday, George Turney. charged
with petit larceny, was given a hearing
and fined $50 and costs with a Jail SEN
tence Of ten days. He hasn't got the
money and the chances are that he will
join the chain gang n the streets. He
took a watch belonging to Cloid Cornell
of Horswill and was making his way east
when captured by sheriff Hartung one
day last week. The watch was found in
his possession and his excuse that he in.
tended to return tito the owner as soon
the latter was sober did not go in the
court. =
The case of the state VS.. Geo. Der
schen, charged with threatening to kill
Miss Frances Wander. which was
booked for hearing Wednesday morn
ing, is still pending as a change of ven
ue has been granted and Derschen will
appear before Justice A. F. Reilly for
the preliminary hearing at a later date.
1t is alleged that the defendant, after
once being engaged to Miss Wander.
was later refused the honor of making
the lady his wife and, in a fit of rage,
bordering insanity, threatened to take
her life if she did not marry him. i
Another case to come before Justice
Folsom this week. and one that may be
duplicated quite frequently during the
coming months. was a legal process in
the matter of ordering the killing and
disposal of a glandered horse Deputy
State Veterinarian H. Anderson dis
covered a glandered horse owned by
George Friedrich of Richardson and in
order for Mr.. Friedrich to get the one
half appraised Of the diseased animal it
was necessary to follow out the law in
every detail.
The Justice has to make gu several
papers. appoint appraisers, and see that
the diseased animal is killed and a pro.
per disposition made of the carcass. In
this particular case M. L. Mcbride, DR..
N. L. Gartley and Fred Dickinson acted
as appraisers, the place of execution was
at the city dumping ground where the
owner awaited with the horse, having
the grave ready when Justice Folsom
and the appraisers reached the scene.
DR.. Gartley was executioner, and in a
few minutes the horse "a fine looking
black gelding) was appraised, shot and
buried and the party returned to town.
1t is reported that there are many
| glandered horses. in Stark county and
the v%eterinaries are doing all in their
power to stamp out the disease. City
Magistrate van der Las has already ham
died a number of cases of this kind. All
the papers haye beensmade out in dupli-
cate, one set being filed here and the
other sent to the state auditor. #
