MOSCOW, Idaho, Feb. 23.-
Sentenced to attend church for
six Sundays in succession and
to pay a nominal fine, Ed
krier, found bully on a charge

ishment. In sentencing krier,
Judge Strong said that he
would be lenient and impose a
fine of SO and costs only, In
order to give him legal penal
ty from which to appeal If he
saw fit to do so.
krier readily availed himself
of the opportunity offered, and
filed notice of appeal after
having vainly sought to prove
by several witnesses that the
officer who arrested him was
mistaken in his charges.
