Simon Berry, of Tagus, ex-deputy

in the jaw by Ernest Ellis, farmer
residing north of Tagus, during a
fight which occurred on the streets of
Tagus one night last week. The bull
let from Ellis revolver struck Berry's
jaw bone and was DETECTED from it's
course, lodging in the back of his
neck. Berry was rushed to Minot in
an auto and is now recovering in a
local hospital. 1t is only miracle
that the man was not instantly kill

the shooting Ellis escaped and barri-
caded himself in his house out on his
farm.
Sheriff Slaughter of Mountrail coun-
ty was notified by phone, and soon ar
rived in Tagus. He deputized the
seventeen year-old son of the Tagus
station agent, and they went to the
Ellis home. The man refused to give
himself up and the sheriff immediate

building. At first Ellis yelled bloody
murder, and then everything was
quiet and the sheriff entered the
house. Ellis had taken refuge in the
cellar and the 17-year-old lad, seeing
him, fired his shot gun. The load
struck Ellis in the fleshy part of his

himself up DR.. Leedahl of Stanley re-
