HARRIS GETS SENTENCE
Must Serve Year for Pointing Gun and
Stealing.

For his recent infractions of the
Kansas criminal statutes, Dean Har-
ris will spend one year in the Shaw
nee county Jail. For assaulting an Of
ficer, Harris has three months to uledi-
tate concerning his haste, while he will
be allowed inc months to atone for
the theft of a box of tobacco.
Harris was meek and law abiding
to an extreme when he appeared this
morning in Judge Garvers court. He
was first questioned concerning his dis
respect for the law when he confront
ed officer Lon Sauls with big, ugly
revolver. Harris admitted he was in-
discreet and that his act was not the
result of cool elaboration. For this
offense, Harris was sent to Jail for
a term of 80 days. ss1
Then the court reminded Harris Oh

the McCord-Kistler Mercantile COM
pany Harris conceded it might have
been cheaper to have bought the to-
bacco outright. There was no defense
to. be made in this ease and Harris
was not inclined to argue with the
court when it was decreed that the
prisoner should serve an additional
nine months sentence on the tobacco
account.
