Farrell was convicted on two
charges OF forgery and sentenced by
Judge Donlan to serve 28 years in the
Ipenitentiary, being given the limit on
each offense, IA years.
The case was appealed to the su-
preme court and he was acquitted on
technicality. The warrants which
he drew on the treasurer did not bear
the county seal and the supreme court
held they we're not legal warrants, and
therefore no forgery was committed.
He was then charged with falsifying

M At first it was supposed the white
men persisted, but from one Of the sur

they clamored over the slippery rocks
and fed, leaving the Cinnamon to
their fate. How the white men got to
