Up to noon no definite action
had been taken in the Duncan case
by the county attorney. The gen
eral belief is that the jail is the
proper place for Duncan, and he
will probably remain there until
district court convenes, when he
will be placed under bond to keep
the peace. We believe that this
bond should be the full limit of the
law. As long as Duncan is in jail
the members of the family have no
fear, but when he gains his liberty
they will have reason to constantly
fear the safety of their lives.
