GEO. BURGUND FOUND
GUILTY BY JURY.
Asks For New Trial-Jury Out
Only AS MinutesSentence
Is Held Up.

Forty-five minutes after it
had been given the case of the
State of Idaho VS.. George ]. Bur-
gund charged with stealing
horses from the pasture of VIII
liam Eller on Salmon river, more
than year ago, the jury Fri
day afternoon of last week re-
turned with a verdict of guilty.
The evidence Of Amis Rose of
Cottonwood who was sprung by
the state in rebuttal, and who
testified that he had seen the
defendant kill, skin and then sell
the hide of a horse at Cotton
wood, was probably the deter
mining factor in the case.
A year ago, when on trial for
the same offense, Burgund was
dismissed after the jury had
failed to agree, it being said at
the time that the jurymen stood
II to l for acquital. Burgund,
who claimed that the horses in
question were his property, fol-
lowing his dismissal again took
possession of the stock, and the
arrest which led to the verdict
came upon another complaint
filed by Mr.. Eller.
The defense claimed in reply
to the testimony of Rose that
the horse whose hide had beer
sold at Cottonwood had beer
bought from Joe South of Cot.
tonwood by Burgund.
At the close of the trial the
jury was instructed by the court
to view the animals in question
The defense offered the testi
mony of DR.. H. A. Sorenson, vet
elnarian; Jacob Bush, Joe South
G. j. Burgund, Wilbur Bryan
and E. ]. Price. The state il
rebuttal introduced the evidenc'
of Amis Rose, Tod Robertson
and Joseph Eller.
Prosecuting Attorney F. f
Fogg opened the argument TO
the state, and Clay McNamee o
Lewiston followed for the de
fense. Mr.. Fogg closed for tn
state. Mr.. McNamee contende
that the case should not hav
been a criminal action and tina

BOTH TEAMS WIN

Last Friday night the Holyoke
High School basketball team admin
istered a crushing defeat to the Cur
tis quintet on the home floor. Holy.
oke's team work, basket shooting and
speed had the Aggies far out-classed
The whole game showed the high
class playing that the local lads have
developed this season and the final
score simply added another notch in
their unbroken record OF victories for
the season Curtis first score was
made 6ii a fred throw, the result of
the only foul called Oil the Dragons
during the game. Holyoke had a
chance to retrieve this point when q
foul was called OH Curtis in the
second half but failed to locate the
basket. The first half ended with a
1877 score in favor of Holyole, but
series of brilliant plays in the second
half gave Holyoke lead that the
Aggies could not manage to overcome.
The final reckoning gave Curtis seven
field goals to the Dragons fourteen,
making the score 2S.15. The entire
game was characterized by clean
playing by both teams, only two fouls
being called.
A big crowd OF boosters filled the
gymnasium and perhaps some of the
local teams fine play can be traced
to the enthusiastic support which
they have received. Anyone who has
seen the games at the Nebraska State
High School Tournament at Lincoln
can't help wishing that the Holyoke
boys might be eligible for 1t or a
similar tournament. They undoubt.
edly are capable Of winning an en-.
viable position in the highest class
in such tournament.
In tn, preliminary game Friday
night the Holyoke girls played AM
herst. The visitors were only able to
locate the basket for one field and one
foul goal. with no scoring in the last
two quarters of the game. The local
girls made six field goals making q
finish score of 1873 in favor OF Holy
oke.
