Mike Kezema's horses, was dismissed
This has been a long drawn out
hght, al of the defendants having

Tertiary, while his bonds were Icing
considered by the Judge. Zenko
Hakon had been given three years,
Maxim Hokan, two years and Lodi
Nor Rodock. three years.
The case was remanded to district
court for re-trial, the holding being
that the proof introduced did not sus-
tain tho information. Under this
holding, it would have been impos>
sible to convict the defendants under
tho Information filed.
The case has been fought hard for
four yoars, F. B. Lambert being the
attorney for the defendants. The

proclaimed their innocence. Prof {.
H. L. Booley. of the agricultural COL
