time the marshal received 4 bul

body. being laid up for many
weeks. Chas. Sukula went free
when the trial came before
district court. However some
body must have thrashed the
marshal for he surely would not

knows who the guilty party iA
But the fracas seemed to start
all over again Sunday evening
when Sukula's car was stalled on
the street in front Of Coleman's
drug store. Percy ordered the
car moved to clear for traffic.
Sukula appeared intoxicated and
talked back. One word brought
on another and the marshal tried
to arrest Sukula but he would
not submit to arrest. Fearing
that Sukula was reaching for Z
hammer the marshal cracked him
with his club. Help was sum-
fnoned and when Sukula wa
brought down near the Jail
another scuffle ensued. the mar

yer. Bullets were flying and
citizens fled but in the scuffle
Sukula received a serious bullet
wound through the knee and the
marshal was shot in the muscle
of one Of his arms.
Sukula is at present at the hos
pital and Percy. whose wound 10
not so serious, is being cared for
at his home.
This case will most likely come
before the next term Of district
court.
