BARS SHOT FOR APPLE THIEF
Attorney General Says Man Who Shot
BOYS Should Be Prosecuted.

The use of shotgun in repulsing
the invasions of small boys on apple
orchards is regarded by Attorney Gen.
eral Walter c. Owen as too strenuous
to be allowed under the statutes.
Give ]. Strang, district attorney Of
Burnett county, placed the following
perplexing problem before the attor-
ney general:
1.-TWO small boys entered a neigh
boris orchard to steal few apples.
They came up to the very tree that
the owner was under and before they
had touched an apple he began shoot
ing at the boys, who Immediately
broke and ran for home: Five shots
were fired by the owner and both
boys were struck"
Mr. Strang asks if the shooting was
justified.
The attorney general says the orch
ard owner had the right to use reason
able force necessary to eject them
from his premises, but he should have
been careful not to exceed the bounds
of reasonable force. A charge of as
sault regardless of life is advised by
Mr.. Owen.

q Democratic revolt in the house
against the freight tax proposed in
the war revenue bill Democratic
Leader Underwood decided to await

Representative Garner, one of the
principal opponents of the freight tax,
was called into conference. Demo
cratic opposition In the house to the
proposed per cent tax on freight
transportation grew to such proper
lions over night that a petition was

The alternative proposed is to in

probably put tax on automobiles.
The slogan will be tax the luxuries,
