tlment has been strong against the
defendant and there was feeling on
all sides that the State could not

victiOn.
When the atrocious crime was
discovered and the defendant was
arrested there was feeling that he
was unsafe in the local jail and he
was speedily transferred to the
county seat at Selby.
The-history Of the crime in brief
is as follows.

Shield and his wife, who reside on
the Cheyenne Reservation near
Bull Head came to Mobridge bring
ing with them their little daughter.
and only child. Ada. who was just
a few days over three years Of age.
The parents brought little Ada to
Mobridge because she was sick and
they desired Dr.. Rock Of Mobridge
to examine her and treat her for
her illness.
The parents arrived in Mobridge
with their little girl about two
o clock on the afternoon of San
day, April 9TH, and secured a room
over Fred Klein bakery and I'M
medjatelv took little Ada to the
room and placed her in bed and
DR.. Rock was called to examine
the child and prescribed tor her
ana ll' parents stayed IN tllc room
with the little one the remainder

little chlld and when the parents
returned TO their room they found
her crying and screaming and
wrlthlng upon IA bed OF pam ana
