probation officer.
There was struggle for possession
Of the gun and Bell, although of
slighter build than Barnes, overpow-

and waved the weapon in the air.
Mr., Miller told Judge Leslie that
he believed young Bell yelled some
thing like curse you, Luke Desmond,

But the wounded boy came out of
the hospital just as much believer

boys were resolved to stick together
no matter if they did shoot each other
up occasionally, sentenced young
Bell to the state industrial school at
kearney--and then suspended the
sentence on condition that he rele-
gate his shooting irons to the scrap
heap and cut out lurid movies.

most spirited objections were voiced
by Rev. John Howard Melish OF
