ROUSE CASE TRIAL
IN JUVENILE COURT
Victim in Family Shooting Affair
Near Clyde Will Not Die-Son
Escapes Murder Trial
SYMPATHY WITH BOY
Young Rouse Will Appear Before Juvenile
Court to Answer for Attempt Upon Life
of His Father in Family Quarrel at the
Home Near Clyde-Sympathy of People
in Neighborhood Favors the Assailant

1t was not expected that JudgeKnee-
shaw would at this term of court take
up the case against Chester Rouse,
the eighteen year old boy, who is here
in tae county Jail, brought over from
Clyde on q charge of shooting his
father. The elder Rouse, who is still
carrying in his body two bullets from
the revolver aimed at him by his son,
is now able to be up and around and
his life no longer is considered by the
doctors as being in danger.
"fhis ends the chance that appeared
quite probable 2 week ago that young
Rouse would have to face q charge of
murder when brought into court for
trial on the charge OF, shooting his
father. Tho fact that Rouse is alive
end getting better, and that the de-
1endant IS minor, being under eigh-
teen years OF age, also takes the case
out Of the jurisdiction of the district
court into that of the juvenile court
with q consequent result that the boy
will be sent to the state reform school
at Mandan for dentention instead of
having to serve term in the peniten-
tlary at Bismarck for his wrong doing.
States Attorney Crimson favors the
plan Of remanding the disposition of
the Rouse shooting affair over the
present visit of Judge Kneeshaw here
until such time as the father and
the other members of the family can
attend and have the matter thoroughly
Investigated. From the neighborhood
in which the Rouse family have resid-
ed for several years the elder Rouse
is by no means thought to be en-
tirely free from blame for the condi-
ton of family affairs and what SYM
pathy is manifest appears to be quite
generally extended to the wife and to
the elder son who took the part of his
mother and later shot the father.

uTIGER BILL" TAKEN TO
ASYLUM AT JIMTOWN
Devils Lake Barber at One Time In Business
in Langdon Goes Violently Insane

The Devils Lake barber, William
Hubert, known over the northern part
of the state as "Tiger BILL who
was taken to the state insane asylum
at jamestown last week, was known
to quite number of Langdon people.
He was here for short time several
years ago, coming to Langdon to buy
the Brown barber shop, which he i'll
turn sold inside of a week to Frank
Green, one Of the present owners Of
the establishment. ''Tiger Bill'' was
adjudged insane and taken to the asy-
lum at Jamestown last Tuesday. At
DevilsLake it is thought that the real
cause for his trouble seemed to be
whiskey and drugs as he had been
dissipating considerably Of late. When
sober he was a man of an innocent
sort of character, but underwent a
complete change, when indulging in
intoxcants. He was violently insane
when taken charge of by the Devils
Lake authorities, but it is thought the
course Of treatment may restore
"Tiger Bill's' dethroned reason.

reason for seeking change of climate
and it is the hope of many old Lang

Barcelo has, as Langdon has begun to
grow up, been looked upon as one of
