FOR WASHTA SHOOTING

Washta, Ia. Nov. 100. Rosenthar
who shot and wounded Andy Simpson
and a woman companion, residents Of
Sioux City. during the Washta colt
show a few weeks ago, was sentenced
to pay a fine of $3.50 and to serve one
year in the penitentiary. He was in
dicted or four counts, but his plea OF
guilty was accepted on the one carry
ing the lightest penalty, assault with
intent to do great bodily injury" On
account of his Flea of guilty no further
trial was held of the case. The feel
ing here is that Rosenthal got off light,
as the shooting occurred in the pres
ence Of q large crowd and the wonder
is that bystanders were not hurt.

before the International Purity con-

ages for alienation of affections, was
withdrawn without prejudice, which
disposes of one of the main cases set

term is materially shortened thereby,
and the usually long February term
