changed his mind and declined to ad.
init anything, and he was taken back
home for trial. His alleged crimes are
as follows: He went out to the farm
of A. w. Boswell near Castlewood at
W o'clock in the morning and de-
manded lunch, but vas refused and
then went to the home of Boswells
son and when refused admission he
fired a shot through the door. He
returned to the elder Boswelrs and
asked him II he had sold his wheat
and on being answered in the negative
he drew a revolver and demanded ten
dollars. He finally left and went to
the home of a neighbor. where he stole
a horse and bringing 1t over the line
into Brookings county he sold it to
Dan Dempsey for twenty-five dollars
and a watch. He was traced to Nor.
den and his short, but busy career OF
crime was brought to a close by the
Hamlin county sheriff.
