GILBERT FOUND GUILTY
PENITENTlARY 0FFENsE

The Bowman Pioneer has the follow
ing to say of H. A. Gilbert, formerly
a resident of New England: The first
criminal case called was that of the
state against Fl. A. Gilbert of Buffalo,
S. D.. on charge of extortion. The
complaining witness was an old GENTLE
man named Byer living near Gascoyne.
1t was alleged that Byer had been
induced to 60 with another party to
Gilbert's house. in Harding county to
take away certain articles with a team
and rig. Gilbert seeing the team drive
away from the house took after the rig
on horse back, but one of the men when
he saw Gilbert coming. unhitched one
of the horses and made his escape,
while Byer, who is partially paralyzed.
made no effort to get away and was
captured by Gilbert. In order to escape
prosecution. it is claimed he gave Gil
bert two notes of $500 each.
Byer claimed that he was told these
things found in the wagon belonged to
the man he was with, who is supposed
to have been Clayton and the capture
of Byer had the appearance of a put up
job.
Later Byer had Gilbert arrested for
extortion, but Gilbert claimed that
these notes aegregating $1,000 were
for two shawls and other articles still
missing.
The jury was out but short time
when q verdict of guilty was found. A
year in the penilentiary is the mini.
mum sentence.

A number of the newspapers in the
Dickinson U. S. land Office have had
complimentary notices of the appoint
ment of o. r. Meyer to the receiver

kota landed in the hands of o. r.

Spotlight: AS to whether party Or
ganization dominated at Dickinson with
the appointment of the new receiver
of the U. S. land Office, we do not
know, but we do know that in the ap-
pointment of Otto r. Meyer, the popular
head OF the Benzie Drug Co. of Dickin-
son no better selection could have been
made, for Bobby" is live wire, an
active slope county booster, a pioneer
settler and an all around good American
citizen of % solid gold calibre, and
cen though he is democrat and receiv-
ed democrat appointment. Bob is OF
the stripe that can look down with pity
on US poor wabblina republicans. The
Spotlight extends congratulations to
Mr.. Meyer on his appointment.

CLARK AND cR0ckARD
WE'RE FOUND GUILTY

The first report of acquitta] in the
Jim Jam Jems case was mistake,
Sam H. Clark, editor, and C. H.
Crockard. business MANAGER of the pub
lication, were found guilty in federal
court at Bismarck. Judge Willard sen.
fenced them to serve two years each ir
the federal penitentiary at Leaven.
worth. Kanses, also to pay So. 900 as {
fine and half of the costs of prosecu.
tion.
The verdict of the jury was sur
prise to clark and Crockard, who COM
menced to realize that they had been
treading on dangerous ground.
1t is said that the government has
decided to prosecute other magazine
publishers.
A motion for new trial was denied
However, a petition for writ of error i.
granted and the case will be reviewed
by the court of appeals in St. Louis
some so days hence. 1t is said that the
principal thing cited in the writ of er-
ror is the fact that F. D. Hevener, an
attorney at Dickinson, served on the
jury. 1t is made to appear, it is said.
that Mr.. Hevener interested himself in
behalf of the government. 1t is not
believed that this will prove to be the
case at all. Mr.. Hevener states en-
phatically that he had no interest in
the case one way or the other any more
than any other American citizen.
C. H. Crockard is the man who start
ed the Post at New England some years
ago, later taking the plant to Mott.
Messrs. Crockard and Clark are out on
bail in the sum of $15.O each.
Messrs. Clark and Crockard look upon
the verdict as compromise, which is
substantiated by the fact that the jurors
recommended simple fine and no i'm
prisonment. The defendants had no
trouble in securing bonds. and there are
a great many able attorneys who think
that they will get change in Judge
Willard's decision, in the higher courts.
