In a Dispute With Timber Thieves
Nearly Lost Life

: O. Nordvold is suffering a broken
arm. which he suffered in dispute
with timber thieves who were taking
wood from the land belonging to his
son out on Cheyenne river. Several
weeks ago he found a party of a half
dozen cutting wood on the land. and
informed them that it was private
property, and told them to keep off.
This they promised to do, and when
he went TO the place yesterday and
found some of the same party cutting
wood he told them to keep off, and
when they refused, he went to the
house Of his son, and the two went
down in where the wood cutting was
going on. The wood choppers started
to put up a fight, and while one was
engaged with the son, the other made
an attack on Nordvold senior With an
axe and struck at his head. He
lodged the blow far enough to receive
it on his arm which was broken. The
Nordvolds then came to Fit Pierre
and swore out charge against the
parties, and the sheriff is out after
