POPULAR YOUNG
CITIZEN GIVES
DEPUTY CHASE

One of our very popular young
citizens gave our deputy sheriff
quite an exciting chase last week
While on q trip out in the country
the horse this popular citizen of ours
was riding, became too tired to pro-
ceed on to the desired destination,
80 he stopped at ranch, the owner
of which was a friend of his but who
did not happen to be at home at this
moment, and exchanged his horse
for a fresh one. When the rancher
came home he noticed this strange
horse and that his saddle horse was
gone. The rancher. thinking that
some horse thief had visited the
place, Immediately came to town and
swore out complaint and the dep
uty sheriff and himself started In
pursuit and soon overlook him, who
by this time was on his return home
with the rancher's horse. While
greatly embarrassed to be confront
ed by the deputy sheriff, who was
armed with John Doe warrant for
his arrest, the mistake was at once
realized, and the young man was not
held. However, he was presented
with bill of costs which the deputy
sheriff had incurred by telephoning
toofilcers In outside points about the
horse thief who turned out to be
one of our highly esteemed citizens.

Burns Marshal Shot by Drunk

Burns,-While attempting to take
one Lloyd Mosely, drunk, to Jail on
Tuesday of last week, City Marshall
Haines was shot through the leshy
part of his leg. Mr.. Haines was Civ
en- immediate medical attention and
is recovering satisfactorily now.
The drunk man received a gun
wound in one of the fingers of his
left hand and had his head badly
bruised with the marshall's "billy"
but with the exception of little
pain, has practically recovered.
Mosely, who had been employed in
sheep camp near Diamond, started
TO town, II is said, to attend to same
land business, but when travelling
companion gave him some whisky, he
became rather unruly on the stage
and gave his fellow passengers lit
tie uneasiness with his reckless hand
ling of his 32 calibre automatic pis-
tol.
when the marshall accosted him
ON the streets here, he stated that
he had some business with Chip
Smith. The officer accompanied him
to the meat market and when he
reached there the man admitted that
he had no business with the proprl-
etor and when the marshall tried to
take the man to Jail, he refused. In
the struggle that followed, in which
the marshall was assisted by Mr..
Smith. the shooting occurred, an dthe
drunken man was finally overcome
by the officer after numerous bruis-
es on the head. II is likely the mat
ter will be taken up directly with the
grand jury.
