Special to Times Republican.
Eagle Grove, Jan. 4.-Walter Fred

days ago by Art Thebiay as the form
er was making his get away" after
attempting to appropriate property not
beyonging to him, was taken to the To-
cal hospital, but Is not seriously
wounded.
The statement made in Des Moines
newspaper that Mr.. Thebiay was held
for assault. is incorrect and does Mr..
Thebiay an injustice. The facts Of the
case are these: Young Fredericks
broke into shack and was in the act
of taking few things belonging to
Mr.. Thebiay. When Thebiay APP
preached. young Fredericks made his
escape and ran towards town. The
marshal was notified, he at once COM
menced a search for the lad in COM
pany with Mr. Thebiay. The mar
shall and Mr.. Thebiay went different
ways while searching a field, and
Thebiay was told by the marshal that
if he got sight of the lad to get him"
if possible. In a few moments The
biay caught sight OF him, but the lad
again took to his heels. Thebiay told
him to stop or he would shoot but the
lad didn't obey. whereupon Mr.. The
biay, who carried a lhirty-two rifle,
shot high into the air and to one side,
but the shot lodged in mis- arm. Thebiay
was seventy to eighty rods distant.
Mr.. Thebiay was only acting under
orders from the marshal.
