trial of which was begun here yester-
day morning is that of the State
against Alvin G. Rogers. constable.
charged with feloniously shooting with
the intent to MAIN, dlsfigure, disable
and kill one JUSTIN ROM. He was
shot in an attempt by the constable
to arrest a number of Italians in the
boarding house of Alex George at the
mining town Of Century. Rogers was
set upon by the crowd with knives,
guns, brick-bats and clubs and badly
used up. having received four gun
shot wounds in the melee. Boni re-
ceived one very slight bullet wound,
the ball entering his left breast and
ranging across the front of his body
and lodging in front in the skin, on
the right side. The bullet was re-
moved by physician. 1t is not
thought that the case will amount to
much. Rogers claimed that Boni was
probably shot by one of his own coun-
trymen. accidentally. In any event.
Rogers shooting was done in self-de-
Tense. Boni cannot speak English and
the court appointed Otto George as
his interpreter. Otto is an undersiz-
ed Italian boy, fourteen years of age.
He was born in Rome and was brought
to this country some three years ago.
He speaks English like a native and
the bar and bystanders were very
much interested in him. He attends
school in the country. When the hour
for recess arrived the little fellow
held quite a reception, in the court
room. Nearly everybody present shook
him by the hand and patted him on
the head. He is son of George, vino
kept the boarding house where the
trouble occurred.
