80 DAYS IN JAID,

Bismarck. N. D.. Aug. 22.-Joseph
Davis, colored, giving Chicago as his
home, was arrested for Juggling on
a complaint filed by Joseph Antoine.
Antoine alleged hat Davis invited him
to join in a crap game which he did.
He alleges that during the course of
the game Davis switched dice on him,
compelling him to shoot crooked dice,
therefore losing a sum of $50. An
tone accused Davis Of switching the
dice. which he denied and as a result
Antoine sought a warrant for his ar
rest.
The case was tried before Police
Magistrate Casselman. Davis, when
arraigned pleaded not guilty to the
charge of vagrancy and juggling
and demanded immediate trial. AZ
ter hearing all Of the evidence the
court found the defendant guilty az
charged and sentenced him with 30
days In jail. The trial was very in
teresting and amusing. Davis de-
Tended himself while Antoine acted az
his W attorney. The cross-examin-
ations and the arguments made to
the court by the amateur attorneys
outclassed all of the comedy photo
plays ever exhibited In Bismarck.

damages and at the trial last winteL
