j. s. FAILS To
MAKE GOOD CASE
AGAINST PIPER
Union County Man Charged
With Taking Shipment With
out Paying Freight Released
at Governments Request,

| The case of United States VS. John
S. Piper, a criminal case involving
the question of an interstate ship
ment of freight from Oklahoma to
New Mexico, was DISMISSED yesterday
morning just before the defendant
was placed upon the stand to te stify
in his own behalf, the district attor-
ney announcing that he did not be-
lieve the government had made a
case against the defendant. The case
went to trial Friday at 3 o'clock,
Mr.. Piper moved from Oklahoma
into western Union county last sum-
mer and shipped household goods
and gas tractor engine. The mat
ter updn which he was brought to
trial in the federal court had to do
with Piper's taking the gas engine
away from the depot before the
freight had been paid and the con-
signment released to him. The gov
eminent contended that he took the
engine without authority and the de-
Tense was that the agent gave per-
mission to move the shipment pend
ing the settlement of the freight
charges, which matter was put up to
the general freight agent Of the rail-
road company.
Evidence tended to show that the
shipper had a rate of $500 for the
point of origin but that he was re-
auired' by the agent at Mills to pay
$271.00 before delivery. 1t was while
the matter Of the difference in the
rate was under adjustment that Piper
drove his engine to his farm and

PENDANT.
Yesterday afternoon the case of the
government against Il. NJ Auven-
shine was begun in federal court. Au-
venshine, a resident of De Baca coun-
ty. is charged with violating the es-
piohage act. Early in May, 1878,
when the Third Liberty Loan cam
paign was under way, Auvenshine, il
is alleged refused to purchase a bond
and referred to the proposition as "a
damn graft"
The defense, il Is understood. will
be that Auvenshine did not make the
statement attributed to him. Also,
that he did not have the money to
buy even $50 bond; that he had
tried to borrow money to be used in
purchasing bonds, but the bank re-
fused the security he offered, several
head of horses; and he was at that
time, and is at present. a loyal Ameri-
can, and offered his services to his
country, Notwithstanding the fact
that he is As years old.

prosecution. Auvenshine is repre-
