of the fact that the evidence in
troduced by the state conclusively
showed that Rhoades made the first
overt act in Webb's restaurant at
the time of the shooting of Griffin

first degree.
The case went to the jury at

When the jury brought in the
verdict District Judge K. e. Leigh

IS CHARGED WITH
THEFT ANO P|GG|NC

Sheldon, N. D., Nov. 25.-Peter
Miller is in bad with the authori-
ties of Ransom county for the SIM
pie reason that he is charged with
stealing a quantity of alchohol, a
lot of other paraphernalia from a
friend of his and then sold part of
the alchohol to get enough funds
to get him out Of the county. The
affair happened at. Englevale last
week when Miller broke into a
boarding car of the N. P section
men, stole a razor, some clothing
and other things from Mike Black
we'll and then hiked for Fargo.
Blackwell became so incensed over
the affair that he followed Miller
and caused Sheriff Ross Of Cass
county to arrest him. Sheriff
Dwire went down Friday night and
secured Miller, returning with
him Saturday morning, confining
him in the county Jail to await hear
ing. Blackwell will appear against
him. Miller has chances of two
charges being preferred against
him, one of burglary and the 9TH
er bootlegging.

LEFT BOOZE FOR
THE OTHER FELLOW

Sheldon, NJ D., Nov. 25.-T'hieves
broke into the station at Leonard,
and carried away two packages.
They entered by breaking the glass
from one Of the windows, and
carefully took out all the broken
pieces so they would not cut them
selves It. is mystery what they
were looking for, as the packages
carried away could not have con-
tanned anything of very great val
lie to them. They confined them
selves to ransacking the shelves on
which the express packages were
deposited. and failed to pay any
attention to a gallon of alcohol
and a keg of beer which they could
easily have sampled or carried
away One package was from
Sears, Roebuck & Co., and the
thieves must have Tept with dis
appointment when they examined
their loot The crude method en-
ployed in breaking the glass and
then removing the pieces from the
frame seems to show they were
rank amateurs.
