Morgan people were particularly
interested in an account in the Twin

fornia the past week. Young Heck
Ter was caughN stealing hogs from
the Werring and Johnston farm a
number of years ago and was sent
enced to a term in the st. Cloud Re-
formatory. He made an escape from
that institution and although he was
known to have visited relatives in
these parts he succeeded in keeping
under cover. Last week he is alleged
to have been connected with a bank
robbery at Rodeo, California. He
was wounded and put into hospital
but again he made his escape by
making a rope out of bed clothes and
sliding down it from a second story
window. Frank Pierra, a rancher
pursued Heckler on horseback, caught
him at the point of a gun. Heckler
refused to surrender and attempted
to wrestle the gun from the rancher.
The horse which Pierra was riding
became frightened and kicked Heck
Ter injuring him to such an extent
that he was unable to fight.
