Chamberlain.-A jury in the state
circuit court Of Trip county returned
q verdict Of guilty Of assault in the
case Of Charles Black, a prominent
homesteader living in Trip county,
who was charged with assault with in
tent to kill. Judge Williamson Inn
posed a fine Of 500 and costs or nifty
days In jail. The case was a some
what unusual one. After assauIting
anil seriously wounding another home
steader during fight, Black mounted
his pony and disappeared. Not the
slightest trace Of him could be found
during the time when 1t was feared
that the man assaulted might die.
After the lapse Of many weeks, during
which the injured man recovered and
there no longer was any danger that
the charge against Black might be
changed to murder or manslaughter,
Black reappeared and surrendered
himself to the authorities Of Trip
county. It appears that he spent tho
interval in western Canada, to which
region he made his escape after the
difficulty with the other homesteader.
