good bye, admonished him not to gel
his hands any dirtier than he could
help and to come home early and moi
to forget the new baking tin on the

1t looks to the neighbors as though
young Manville and his bride, whom
he married in several states SO Papa
Manville could not untangle the knot
when he got home from Europe, have
at last settled down into a permanent
state Of matrimony. Manville has
gone to work in his fathers factory,

Huber. two years his senior, in 1911.
He was then 10. Mrs. Manville has
always protested she loved her husband
and not his fathers money and the
daily incident of early breakfast and
the full dinner pail tend to bear out
her statement.

On Tuesday evening Mrs. James
Soules entertained the three bands Of
the Congregational Ladies' Aid at
one Of the jolliest social functions of
the year. The big hit of the even
ing was the enacting of Mother
Goose rhymes in pantomime. This
proved to be very entertaining and
amusing. The affair bore a patriot
ic air. The piano was lastly drap-
ed with a huge flag. About this the
different bands gathered and sang
patriotic songs. The NJ. U. Ms, true
to their name, were very mum when
their turn came, and merely placed
their fingers over their lips. Mrs.
Soules was assisted in entertaining
by the Misses Reed, Hargrave, Slim
dee, Reed, johnson and Waddell. In
receiving the guests Mrs. Soule was
assisted by little Mary Soules, who
also was on hand to bid the guests
good night. At the close of the jo-

THE LESLIE AUSTIN HEARING
Preliminary Hearing at Medora Tues
day; Bond Accepted. May Come
. to Trial in August.

The preliminary hearing in the
case against Leslie Austin came up
before Justice J. w. Foley in Me-
dora on Tuesday evening. w. L.
Austin, father Of the 19-year-old boy,
was present with W. r. Burnett, who
appears as counsel for the defendant.
No testimony was put in by the de-
tense. Leslie Austin was bound over
to the district court. The bond as
finally fixed is in the sum Of $4,000.
There were plenty Of. good signers for
the bond from men of Bowman, who
have known the Austin family for
years.
Very little evidence was introduced
by States Attorney J. K. Swibaft.
The fact is undisputed that Leslie
killed Anton Cyolai on the 18th of
May. This unfortunate affair was
reported in these columns last week,
the facts of which are substantially
these: Deceased was a farmer in the
vicinity Of Amidon and the Austins
are sheepgrowers. There had been
some feeling between the families on
account of a land contest. The Aus
tin band was over the line a little on
this particular day. Leslie had turn
ed the sheep back, but the angered
farmer set his dogs onto the eve
band. Leslie asked him to call the
dogs off, but he refused. Words fol-
lowed and the farmer struck a heavy
blow with his stick at the sheepman,
which was warded off. Leslie had a
cane, or walking stick, and struck
Cyolai a hard blow over the temple.
It proved a fatal blow, although he
states that he never thought of kill
ing the man, and he was mortified on
seeing what he had done. He went
for the mans wife and his nearest
neighbor. Leslie next went for his
father, and they did all they could for
the bereaved family. Leslie Austin
then went to Medora with his father
and gave himself up.
AT the hearing the state did moi
call Bill Owings, the only eye wit:
ness to the sad affair. Owings is 9
sheepherder who has been with the
Austins for years and who is widely
known in this part of the state HI
has a good reputation.
People who nave had the care OF
sheep know what it e to have
their ewes logged at this season Of
the year. Leslie Austin has never
been known as a. quarrelsome boy;
which fact is attested to by his school
teachers and dozens of people who
have known him intimately for years
The Austin family has always borne a
good reputation.
The assault Ease against W. L
Austin does not seem to amount tt
anything. It is an old matter ano
from Mr.. Austin's statement it looks az
though the other fellow was the mar
to be prosecuted, il anybody. Justice
Foley reduced the bond from $1,50(
to $500. There is not sufficient evi
dence for the states attorney tt
prosecute the case.
It Is not expected that there Will "
sny term of court in Billings count!
before August.
