. The slander case of Mary White vs.
Walter Szelaszkiewicz, which has been
figuring in the courts the past year or
two, was finally disposed of in Judge
George's court Monday the jury de
cidingin favor of the defendant, Szelas
zkiewicz. The general opinion is that
the case should never have been per-
mittedi to come to trial. McFadden &
Jones defended the case.
Larkie Logan and Louie Fuller in
dulged in a little amusement Monday
night and Larkie carved Louie some
just how deep we are unable to learn.
The grand jury promptly took action
in the case but decided that no particu-
hir harm had been done and failed to
find a true bill. Larkie and Louie
were just "funnin' " anyway and the
county ip saved unnecessary expense
as the case, had it come to trial or been
continued, would undoubtedly have
had tho usnal ending.
The grand jury in tho case of Lin
coin County vs. L. E. Dole found two
indictments and Mr. Dole was ar
raigned before Judge George Tuesday
morning for trial. He pleaded guilty to
the charge of selling spirituous liquors
by the bottle, but insisted that ho was
innocent of dispensing tho same in
homeopathic doecs and his Honor im
posed a fine of $200 because Dole
had neither sold by tbe. drjnk or
gallon, but had simply adhered to the
"happy medium" in catering to his
customers. The other indictment was
thrown out upon tho prisoner pleading
guilty to the first count.

FRED DAY SHOT.
A Toledo Boy the Victim of a
Band of Cowardly Assassins.
The many friends of Fred Day, sou of
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Day of this city,,
were shocked by the news received
Wednesday evening that he had beeu
shot.
Fred is in the employement of the O.
W. P. & Ry Co. of . Portland. The das
tardly deed was committed by a band of
thugs who held up tho ear upon which
Fred was returning home from his daily
duties.
The fii st reports were that he was.
mortally wounded, but a tele
gram sent to fiis mother early Thurs
day morning, contained the statement
thet the wouud was not as serious as at
first supposed and there were bright
liorvps for bis rpfoverv.
The Portland Evening Telegram of
Wednesday gives the following ac
count, in Fred's own words of the
shooting:
'I did nothing to cause the men to
think I was going to make a break for
liberty," said Day, "and why I was shot.
is something no one knows. I simply
turned to let the other man pass into
the car, when the one who ordered me
to move, fired the shot.
I was in awful pain and before I
knew what I was doing, I ran down tho-
aisle to the front platform. I thought
sure they would shoot again, but they
didn't It was the most cruel thing I
ever heard of. when, after woundintr
me, they robbed me of every thing of
value I had with me.
"One of the robbers, the one who
searched the passengers in the rear
of the car, dropped the handkerchief off
his face just as he reached a lady near
me. I looked at him for fully half a
minute, and if ever I see him again, I
promise the officers I will identify him
to a certainty. His mask was off when
he took my watch. He was tall, yet
quite broadly built man. having a
prominent Roman nose. He had light
hair and complexion, and a mellow,
snappy voice. There is no doubt but
that I would know him, if he is ever
cantured."
Day was operated upon by Company
Surgeon A. E. Rockey aud Dr. L. E. Ir- 1
vine shortly after 9 o'clock. They
found the bullet, which was a38-calibre
entered the right side of the back, about
eight inches from the spine. It fract
ured the teuth rib and lodged against
the spinal column, traversing about
eight inches of flesh and bone in its
course. It tore a piece of cloth from
D,Hy's coat, carrying it on its leaden
point the full course. It made a very
large hole in the flesh. Dr. Rockey
has ihe bulletin his possession.
'The wound is not serious, and in all
probability the boy will recover," said
Dr. Rockey this afternoon.
Fred's mother went out to Portland
today to nurse him and be wilh him
should a change come foj the worse.
She has the sympathy of the entire
community. 1
