AIR THEIR TROUBLES
IN JUSTICE COURT

Judge Garrs courtroom, in the
office of the Whitefish Transfer com
pany, was crowded to it's full capa-
city with curious spectators Monday
afternoon who came to listen to the
trial of one Gertrude Harris,a "a resi-.
dent of the restricted district, who
was accused Of assault upon the per.
son Of F. J. HolmQuist. The pre-
sence of five women witnesses from
the same district lent a breezy at
mosphere to the court room.
Hofmquist alleges that this woman
whom lie visited a week ago Mon
day night. soon after striking up an
Intimate acquaintance. first confisca-
ted his roll Of bills amounting to
about 800, and then after he had
pleaded with her to return the mon
ey. almost as long az his patience
could endure, she seized an oppor-
tune moment when he had his head
turned and smote him in the face
with a water pitcher which cut an
ugly wound over his right eye. He
was dazed at first, but regaiAing his
senses. in a fit OF rage he grappled
with the woman and seized her by
the throat with the blood streaming
down his face from the wide open
wound. This bloody struggle was of
but short duration for Holmquist's .
strength faded fast away and was
soon In dead faint. However it was
long enough to leave a few marks on
the woman's throat which she ex-
h1bited in court. Holmquist was la
ter revived by physician who was
called to attend to his case.
The testimony Of the woman bears
out an entirely different story. Ac-
cording to her version of the trou-
BILE it would appear that Holmquiet,
after spending several pleasant hours
with her. drinking and visiting with
the other women of the district. up-
on reaching her "home" as she calls
it, he became suddenly angered at
her without apparent provocation. In
this fit of anger he seized her by
the throat and they both went to
the floor in a deadly encounter, she
She believed that Holm
quist was trying to take her life. The
struggle lasted for fifteen minutes,
she said and during which time he
kept on choking her so that she
could not get her breath, her tongue
was hanging out and blood was ooz-
ing from her ears and mouth. In
spite of the fact that this, husky man
had been inflicting this terrible pun
ishment upon her for SO long time
she was able by almost superhuman
efforts to draw her feet up under her
and kick him with such
terrific force that he was thrown
bodily from her and fell over back
wards, striking his head on the edge
Of a partly broken water pitcher. This
she says accounts for the wound on
his forehead.
After weighing the testimony on
both sides carefully, Judge Carr
bound the defendent over to the
district court and remanded her to
jail until she produced a bond OF
$3.50. x. X. Stout was the prosecu-
Ting attorney for the state and EN-.
Childs was the attorney for the
plaintiff.

The Methodists, the Catholics and

annual sale of fancy articles, suitable
for Christmas presents within a

sales were a grand success. They
all sold out in a comparatively short

netted a neat little nest egg for
their hard labor.
