SMALL FINE FOR BYRNE.
Easy Outcome OF a Case That
Promised Trouble.

NfniilScN IrOUnfc.
The trial of John Byrne, charged
with assault with a deadly weapon
on the person of Vern Williams, came
up for hearing before Judge Yaden
Tuesday afternoon and the Defend
ant was bound over to the district
court in the sum of $1,000.
F. T. Disney prosecuted the case
and J. R. Boutwell, was the attorney
for the defendent, while Miss Guy
mon acted as stenographer.
The case is mixed up affair and
very few people seem to think that
Mr.. Byrne intended to kill Mr.. VIII
liams, as none of the witnesses knew
whether the gun was loaded or not
and none OF them saw Mr.. Williams
after Mr., Byrne got the gun.
The trouble occurred at the home
of Mr.. Byrne at his ranch and the
fight began in the house and was
in the yard, and from the
looks of Mr.. Byrne at the time he
got decidedly the worst of the fight
and the state would probably have
saved considerable cost and both the
witness and the defend
snt a great deal of worry, if the case
lad never been brought to trial,
Mr., Byrne furnished bond at once
With his brother T. J. Byrne and T.
!. McHahon as securities.
LATER-Mr. Byrne was allowed to
inter a plea of guilty TO simple assault
md was fined $500 and costs.
