Mike Daley, charged with selling
liquor to Indians, will be tried the
next term of court.
The case of John Whipple, Ever

Rosebud reservation, were found

ing and sent to the jury late yester-
day afternoon and the jury returned
their verdict last night.
The jury yesterday found Abe JEFF
ferson and Thomas McCarrier guilty
of selling liquor to Indians and each
was given a term of one year and
six months in the federal penitentiary
and fined 500 and COSTS.
Charles Benson, we'll known local
character with police record, was
found guilty late yesterday afternoon
on charge of selling liquor to In
dams and was given a sentence of
one year and one months at Leaven-
worth and fined 500 and costs. He
was arrested, arraigned and pleaded
guilty and was sentenced in a short
space of few hours.
The fact that the court is continu-
ing so many cases and the grand jury
has finished it's work makes it appear
that in all probability the term will
be ended by Judge Willard not later
than Saturday.

Pawnee City, Neb., May 29.-J. A.

We're shot and killed and a third child
dangerously wounded while they lay
in their beds early this morning, by
Jim Fielder, farm hand, who had
been working for McVittie
Fielder to avoid capture by Sheriff
Fuller, shot and killed himself after
shooting the sheriff three times ana
seriously wounding him.
The McVitties lived seven miles
from town.
The motive of the murder was re-
sentiment toward the parents for their
opposition to the marriage of Fielder
with their daughter.
After numbering the parents and
the children, Fielder forced the girl
to leave the house with MIN, but she
escaped from him and alarmed the
oeighbors.
Sheriff Fuller found Fielder hiding
in a school house and ordered him to
surrender. Fielder opened fire and
after shooting three times, and seeing
the sheriff fall, shot himself.

GREAT FLIGHT
HISTORIC EVENT
PARIS TO- MADRID TRIP SEVER
EST TEST AEROPLANE HAS
YET BEEN PUT TO

Madrid, May 25.-With the excep
ton of the crossing of the Alps by
George Chavez, on September %
1910, feat ending in his death, the
third stage of the aviation race from
Paris to Madrid, for the Petit Partisan
prize of $4,000 and $4,000 additional
offered by the Spanish Aero Club
proved to be the most severe test the
aeroplane has yet been subjected to
and two of the three contestants, it
now appears, have been forced to
abandon the fight.
Gilbert, Ganoff and Vedrine began
the third stage early this morning.
The 266 miles of the route is almost
entirely over the desolate ranges
varying from 1000 to 5000 feet in
height, where fall meant death and
to make a fresh start would be i'm
possible.
Gilbert fought the first recorded
battle of the air. A large, fierce
eagle swooped down to give battle to
the airman. Manipulating the levers
as best he could, the aviator reached
in his pocket for revolver. He
fired two shots at the bird, which
dropped behind.
From the latest dispatches received
by the committee in charge, it ap
pears that Verdine alone is likely to
finish. He passed over Gintanapalia
and crossed the city of Burgos, at q
great height was later forced to des
cend He telegraphed that he would
not proceed for several hours and the
f, club authorized an extension of the
time for completion of the race.
Gilbert landed at Olazuagatia, about
forty miles from the San Sebastian
but when he attempted to make a
fresh start his machine was capsized
and partly wrecked, although the avi
ator was not hurt. There is little
probability that he can repair the
aeroplane within the time limit
Ganoff is stalled in mountainous
spot near Andoain, six miles from Sar
| Sebastian. The nature of the ground
makes a restart almost impossible
and it is understood he has abandoned
the contest.
