Resident of Territory for 40
Years; Killed While Clean
ing Old Gum.
Williston Daily Herald

Willist0n Daily Herald
William Rhea. vice president of
the Farmers State Bank of
Bainville, well known in Willis
ton and throughout all this Sec
ton of the northwest, accident
ally shot and killed himself at
his home in Bainville shortly af-
ter IL a. m. Sunday.
Rhea was cleaning a revolver, when
If vas accidently discharged. The bull
let took effect under the chin and
ranged upward through his head
causing death instantly.
Mr.. Rhea was in good health and
spirits and had donned his old cloth
es to do some work about the place
as Mrs. Rhea made preparations for
a Sunday visit to Williston. He told
Mrs. Rhea he was going to clean his
guns and went to the basement where
he kept them. He had cleaned a small
shot gun and rifle and turned his at
t~ention to the revolver, a six shooter,
when the accident occurred.
Hearing a shot Mrs. Rhea ran to
the basement to find him dead on the
floor. He held the gun in his hand
grasped about the cylinder and had
evidently been trying to break it to
remove the cylinder when it was dis
charged. The coroner viewed the body
and decided that an inquest was not
necessary as death was accidental.
William Rhea was Sc years old at
his untimely death. He came into the
Bainville territory in 1895 or 1896,
and in the early days followed the
life Of a cowboy. Many of our Plen-
tywood old timers knew him intim-
atelv. JACK Bennett, c. c. Johnston
and George Pierce speak of him very
~favorably, and say there never was
a squarer man in this territory.
He is survived by his widow and
two sons, aged 10 and 81 years. The
funeral was held at Bainville yester-
day.

ON TRIAL AGAIN

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-A Kansas
Judge who is a former Anti-S Saloon
League official, and a jury which
included an art dealer, architect
and a burlesque show producer,
we're to hear the United States
governments evidence against
Jack Oegs) Diamond, racketeer,
today.
Diamond is charged with organ
izing a high-powered liquor racket
in the sleepy Catskill hills of
Green county. The federal gov
eminent is seeking conviction of
man who has record Of one con-
viction in twenty-six arrests, and
who recently was acquitted in
state case while another man was
convicted on the same charge as
Diamonds aid in the same alleged
crime.
The Kansas judge, Richard j.
Hopkins of Topeka, made it clear
In interviews and comments from
the bench that he expected no
mans personal opinion on prohi-
ibtion to influence his judgment on
the Diamond case.
The judge ordered the jurors,
selected in just two hours, locked up
for the night because he did not
want them to be influenced by any,
thing they might read on the case.
Rumors that Diamond had
planned to follow the example of
Alfonso (Scarface AID Capone and
plead guilty in the hope of getting
a light sentence were dispelled
when the case was called.
Diamond, slim, nervous and
manufacturing, sat at the counsel
table and watched intently each
prospective juror. He wrote the
names of those that did not suit
him on scratch pad and his at
torneys challenged them. At ctler
times he displayed his nervousness
by constantly making figures on the
scratch pad or lingering his face
and chin.
Paul Quattrocchi, Diamond lieu
tenant who ran the Hollywood Inn
at Cairo, also is on trial.

one film annually.
The contract marks the beginning of
the eleventh year of afiliation with
this company of the Mexican luminary
who swept to fame in such silent pic
lures as "Ben-Hur" and "Scaramouche"
and retained his popularity in talkies.
Novarro's ambition to direct found
expression this year when he directed

Novarro, the advisability of branching
out into directing in preparation for
years to come when their box-office ap-
