Ben Geary, widely-known
Trail country resident, was at
liberty on his own recognizance
today pending a Justice of the
peace Court hearing on two
charges of disorderly conduct.
A charge of threatening the
commission of a felony was dis
missed by Judge William R.
Coleman Friday afternoon upon
motion of Geary's attorney,
George M. Roberts, at the con
clusion of the prosecution's case.
The dismissal was based on lack
of evidence.
The felony charge was tiled
by Mrs. Florence Godfrey,
Geary" mother-in-law, who al
leged that Geary, while in her
home on Trail creek August 11.
threatened to shoot John War
ner, another resident of the
region. It was brought out dur
ing the hearing that Geary con
tended Warner had beaten one
of Geary's children.
The rase was prosecuted by
George W. Neilsen, assistant dis
trict attorney.
Date of the hearing on the
misdemeanor charges was to be
fixed by the court later.
In one complaint Mrs. God
frey accused Geary of using
abusive and obscene language in
her home August 11 and in the
other Warner charged that
Geary directed the same kind of
language toward him when the
two men met on the same day
on the Trail Creek road.

Bulls and bears were tamer than
usual in today's stock market
and the majority dozed through
a slightly uneven session.
The list lacked a trend from
the start. Negligible declines
were plentiful and numerous is
sues held at Saturday s final
quotations.
The war remained as the dom
inant question mark for specu

more hopeful regarding British
chances with the Nazis.
