CUNMAN IN JAIL
FRANK COIL, TRANSIENT, IN
DICTED FOR THEFT OF HIDES
DREW GUN ON FRIESINGER

Frank Gohl, a transient, was indicted
by the grand jury, which was in ses-
sion the first of the week, on a charge
of grand larceny in the first degree,
for the theft Of several bundles OF
hides from a freight train at Randall.
He is in Jail awaiting trial.
Gohl was arrested at the local station
by Special Agent Friesinger, after
railroad employees, working near Ran
dali, had seen him picking up the
hides and thus suspected that some
thinp was wrong. He rode down with
the freight train and near Randall is
said to have thrown several bundles of
the hides from the car. Later he hired
q team and wagon at Randall and went
to the spot where they had been thrown
off, to load them up and haul then
away. When Friesinger was notified
he went to the place and found the
team and the hides, but the man was
gone.
While Friesinger was in the act of
arresting Gohl at the station, Gohl drew
a 441Colts revolver from a belt, aimed
at Friesinger and pulled the trigger.
The hammer struck Friesinger's hand,
however, and the gun did not ex-
p]ode.
Gohl was brought before Lyon, muni'
cipal Judge, who continued the case,
allowing the county attorney to bring
it before the grand jury.

CHILDREN NOT HEIRS

A decision has just been filed by
Judge Parsons in the Wieland will case
which was tried at the last term Of dis
trict court in Little Falls, whereby the
district court reverses the probate
court and orders the probate court to
make a final decree awarding the prop.
,erty of Ernest 81. Wieland, consisting OF
land and personal property, to Herman
G. Wieland, who was named by Ernest
H. Wieland in his last will, as sole
legatee.
The property of Ernest H. Wieland
was claimed by two children adopted by
the Wielands from the Orphans Home
in Les Moines, Ia, while the family re-
sided in Iowa, on the grounds that they
were the legal heirs by reason of such
adoption.
After residing with the Wielands fol
two years the children were returned tc
the orphans home, and the Court, il
the decision just filed, and in which
Judges Nye and Roeser have concurred
holds that the return and surrender OF
these children back to the orphans
home, cancelled the adoption proceed
ings, and that therefore,, they are not
the legal heirs of Ernest H. Wieland.

The practice among young boys in
Little Falls of shooting birds is be-
coming quite general and spare mo-
ments find them out with rifle, air gun
or "sling-shot,' in quest Of prey and
oft they are very bold, actually killing
birds on private property, and thus
endangering the lives of people and
damage to property. To the person
who loves the presence Of the birds and
their music this is hard to tolerate and
at least one local man has decided that
he will prosecute the next boy who
shoots bird on his property. He is
L. P. Runkel, whose home is on Sec
ond street southwest. he has num-
Der of trees on his lot and in the
trees he has placed number Of bird
houses, wherein many birds have
their abode. Several boys were
caught shooting at the birds at his
place and he had to ask them to stop.
Further attempts will result in prosecu-
