HOLD VAN RITTER ID
 TRIAL IN HEAVY BAIL

It was a disappointed crowd that gathered at the office of Justice Wheeler yesterday afternoon to attend the preliminary examination of J. E. Ritter, charged with assault with a deadly weapon upon Billy Woolf with intent to commit murder. Ritter was accompanied by his attorney, Eddie Goodwin, who announced that the de- fense would waive the preliminary.
 Justice Wheeler thereupon held Rit ter to the superior court and fixed his bail at s30oo0 in cash. Jr $50oo0 if a surety bond should be furnished. The justice explained that the seem ingly heavy bail was fixed because the crime was regarded as one of so great seriousness that the statutes contained a provision for life Imprisonment for one found guilty of it. Under the pres ent law such a crime may ba IS scri- ous as a murder.
 The improvement of MT. Woolf, who was shot a week ago, continues. He was brought down yesterda" for an X-ray examination. He said that he expected to be about in few days, but it will probably be many days.
