TAXI DRIVER AND PAL ARE
BOUND OVER TO DISTRICT
COURT ON A ROBBERY
CHARGE.
HEARING BEFORE Pierce
Bidwell Tells Court He Doesn'r
Know Just What Happened
to Him.

The preliminary hearing in the case
OF State VS.. Jack Christopher and
Maurice Grey, charged with beating
and rohbing d. D. Bidwell of Emmons
county and leaving him lying in the
road near the 500 stockyaras early
Thursday morning, was held yester-
day afternoon before Justice Pierce.
1t was clearly a case of everybody
drinking more than enough and some
time, somehow, the complaining wit
ness, Bidwell, lost SIG Or more, which
amount he had in his pocket before
the spree. The states case was none
too strong, but the evidence tended
to show that a crime was committed
as set forth in the complaint.
4" '.. Both Bound Over.
Justice Pierce found the evidence
sufficient to warrant binding both the
defendants over to the next term Of
district court on a charge of robbery
and bond was fixed in the sun Of $500
in each instance. Christopher fur
nished a bond but Grey is being held
in the county jail being unable to fur
nish the required bond.
BidWeIPs story.
Bidwell, the complaining witness,
when questioned concerning the affair
admitted to the states attorney that
he knew nothing after he had done
away with four bottles of beer on the
morning of the alleged robbery and
after he had "shot the dice" He ad-
mitted that he was lust the same as
dead for five or six hours" that morn
ing and he did not even know that he
had been taken out for an automobile
ride. He was certain, however, that
he had a $40 bill, a S. bill, a 81 bill
and some silver in his pocket that
morning. He identified as his prop
crty a billbook and a memorandum
book found in Christopher's posses
sion by the officers.
Defendants Story.
Both defendants took the stand in
their own behalf. They employed no
counsel and conducted their case
themselves. The stories of both men
agreed in practically every detail.
They said that after drinking with
Bidwell and gambling with him that
he wanted to take a "joy ride and
they went ont toward the ~penitentiary
in Christopher's car. They were stuck
IN a mudhole, they said, and Grey and
Bidwell got out and pushed on the
car while Christopher remained at
the wheel. A team finally pulled them
out of the mudhole, but not before
BidwelI fell down against n OF the
wheels Of the car and injured his face.
Then some dispute took place as to
the payment of BidwelIs fare, they
say, and it was then that Bidwell fell
out of the car. They left him lying
in the road, drunk. they said, and put
the car up and went to sleep.
Charged Him S..
