He had more or less success in var.

stance the story that he was an old
printer and newspaper man, In an
other that he was working to get
money enough to finish a college
course. At another place he claimed
tc be blind and asked for patronage
to enable him to take treatment. Most
of the ladies whom he solicited to
take dollar magazine for fifty cents
became suspicious after paying him,
and Chief Of Police Brooks was no.

man up. Wilson admitted to Brooks
that he had no authority from the
magazine houses and he was placed
in the county Jail awaiting an exam
iration.
A receipt book in his possession
showed that he had secured some-
thing like $1,000 from the various
towns Of the Hills, for which he had
never intended to give any return
whatever. Out Of this amount he
had left $7.45 which he had not yet
spent for booze or cocaine. His

ALLEGED ROBBERS
ARE CVPIURED
MILWAUKEE OPERATOR AT I'M
LAY WIRES FOH SHERIFF
TO COME no HIS AID.
Deputy Sheriff Tom Hughett Brings
Suspects to This City This Morn
ing-Operator Missing.

In response to a hurry up call
from Murdo 'est night, requesting
ciiat the sheriff be sent to the relief
u tile operator at Inlay. who had
b-en shot up by robbers, Deputy
Sheriff Tom Hewitt went out on the
evening passenger to investigate the
matter and returned this morning
with two men named Mike Hagen
and John Wallace who acknow1-
edeged having trouble with the I'm
lay manThey were in the act of
boarding the passenger train at Con-
ota when the deputy sheriff placed
the munder arrest.
The operator at INLAY could not
be located when the train passed
through that tation, SO all that is
known of his side Of the story up to
date, is contained in his message
stating that robbers were shooting
at him, and later on, the agent at
Scenic, ten miles this side of Inlay
got wire from the beleagured
brass-puncher saying, that after
shooting at him, his assailants start
ed to walk d,wn the track in an
casterly direction.
When interviewed by Sheriff
Bangs this morning, the men under
arrest disclaimed any intention OF
holding up the operator but merely
wished to wait for the passenger
and incidentally secure something
to eat. The operator ordered them
to get out and later on someone flr4d
at them number OF times, but ac-
cording to their story It was Inn
possible to distinguish the person
doing the shooting. Hagen and Wal
lace then walked to Conata, ten
were taken into custody without Of
fering resistance.
1t is probable that the men wild
be held until the INLAY operators
side Of the story is forthcoming.
According to his message received
at Scenic, he found it necessary TO
deport from the scene OF conflict
rather hurriedly in order to preserve
his life and although his where.
abouts were unknown at a late houf
this morning he may possibly arrive
In the city today.

States Attorney Wood prosecuted
the case which came up before
Police Justice Joy, Attorney Frank
Bangs representing the defendant.
Tunney as the prosecuting wit

his version of the matter. After the
defendants council had carefully ex-
amined the witness, Charles Hunt,
assistant cashier at the Pennington
county bank was called to tell about
the cashing of the check. He stated
Tim Inlay had identified Tunney and
also took charge Of the money real

him in different installments.
Among those who testified for the
defendant were Tim and Tom Inlay,
George Seery, Pete Moore, Pink,
Harry Myers, Joe LaMear, and a

them summed up the evidence
brought out declaring the state had
failed to prove the defendant guilty
Of the charge preferred and there
fore an acquittal was requested.
After a brief resume of certain
portions of the evidence by the states
attorney Judge Joy brought the case
to an end by announcing
the discharge Of the defendant.
