feed and there was no one at home
bnt girl l3 years old, who Says she

derson was at neighbor's. The men
claimed they gave the gi1l IS cents
for the sacks, all the money they
had, and told her.they.. would pay the
balance when they saw her father
again. 1t is claimed by Anderson
that a few bushels of his durum
wheat we're also taken in the wagon
at the same time. The defendants
plead their own cause but we're. fined
S15 and costs amounting to about $50
each and in default of payment were
given to the custody Of the sheriff.
A boy named Eddie Rodney, who was
with them at the time and held the
team while the screenings were be-
ing sacked and loaded, was dis
charged. Mariner and Record claim
