ARRESTED AFTER
SEVEN MONTHS
ToRA LEE TRIED TO CLEAN UP
EVERYBODY IN KINDRED AND
THEN MAKES GET-AWAY-WAs
GONE FOR ALMOST SEVEN
MONTHS.

After having disappeared for seven
months, lacking two days, Tobia Lee
made his person. conspicuous around
Kindred last night and as a result
he was arrested by Deputy Sheriff
Ross on the charge Of assault and
battery, which had been against him
since Oct. 4, 1910.
The night OF Oct. 4, last. there was
a railing game carried on at kin
dred, rifle being the piece of goods
for the holder of the lucky number.
Lee and several others had been drink
ing slightly and fight was started.
Lee has a big reputation locally, as
being there with the knockout punch,
and in a short time ne had almost
cleaned the crowd.
After the fight and the same night,
he disappeared and efforts of authori.
ties to locate him proved fruitless
Last night when he came into Kindred
the sheriffs office was notified at once
and Deputy Ross went after him.
Ross found Lee very easily last night
and he had been drinking again He
was brought to Fargo this morning
