Lawyer Convicted Of Forgery

After celebrating about an hour,
the jury in the Sutton forgery case
returned a verdict in the district court
Saturday declaring defendant guilty.
It was recommended in the verdict that
the court exercise ~leniency in passing
sentence, the term of which may range
from one year to fourteen years in
state prison.
The trial, which was in progress
four days, developed very little evil
dence that would induce a jury to &C.
quit the accused. The story told by
defendant, that the deed to the Had.
lock ranch property was signed by a
woman who he believed was Mrs,
Hadlock was not supported by evi.
dence that would convince a jury of
it's truth, and the damaging facts
presented by the prosecution could
not be explained away by the defense,
1t is understood the jury had very lit
tie trouble in arriving at a verdict,
only one of the jurors disagreeing
with his associates on the first ballot
The case may reappear in court, as
application for a new trial will proba'
bly, be made.

Fatal Shooting At L%onetree

The body of Fritz Roller lies in the
local undertaking rooms, and Henry
Strateman occupies quarters in the
county Jail as the result of a tragedy
that took place Friday morning near
Lonetree. The two men are residents
of that locality, and are said to have
had a dispute over money matters,
Roller claiming that Strateman owed
him a comparatively small sum.
The shooting took place at the
Odette ranch, about three miles south
of Lonetree, where Strateman was
working, and so far as known the two
men were the only persons there.
According to Strateman's story, Kol-
Ter came to the place Friday morning
and, fearing trouble, Strateman re-
fused him admittance to the house.
Roller then attempted to force an
entrance, and Strateman fired a shot
through the roof to brighten him away,
but as this did not have the desired
effect a second shot was fired through
the door, the bullet striking Roller in
a vital spot and causing death shortly
afterward.
Coroner w. F.. MILFORD held an in
quest Saturday afternoon at which the
story of the shooting was told by
Strateman. The jury returned a YER
dict that the killing was done in self
defense, but Strateman was remanded
to the custody of the sheriff pending
further investigation of the matter.

ed the payment of illegal compensa-
ton TO the accused, and that there
was no basis upon which the charges
QUIZ be sustained.
Inc fling of the accusations a few
weeks ago caused a temporary SEN
sat'on among the friends of the cOun-
ty commissioners, some of whom be.
eve they had inadvertently com.
mltted what was technically an il.
legal act. The allegations against the
commissioners related principally to
the compensation allowed for inspect.
ms road work, the legislature of two
years ago having increased the allow
ance to $500 per day-an amount to
which the commissioners considered
themselves entitled under the law. The
county attorney, however, held that
the new rate did not apply to the
services rendered by members Of the
present board.
In dismissing the case, Judge Tat
tan held that the additional duties i'm
posed upon the commissioners by leg
islative act entitled them to the ad.
ditional compensation-this view OF
the matter being sustained in similar
proceedings in Granite county. Tine
court incidentally commented upon
the public benefit derived from tll:'
work performed by the board, and cx
pressed the opinion that business men
who accept the Office of county com,
missioner and give its duties propc,
attention, are entitled to commenda
tiCn by their fellow citizens.
