Attempt to Blackmail.
John Howard Hunt and Rufua
Edwin Bellamy were arraigned be
fore Judge Baldwin yesterday
morning on the charge of attempt
ing to blackmail M. R. Magnusscn
and the case was continued until
this afternoon.
The story is as follows; Mag
nusscn, who lives southwest
of town, managed to ratse and ell
about three hundred dollars worth
of watermelons and Hunt and
Bellamy, who were temporarily
working for him, became possesed
of socialistic ideas and laid a
scheme which they hoped would re
suit in a distribution of MagnuB
sen's wealth. They adopted the
plan which Pat Crowe is supposed
to have successfully worked on 15d
Cudahv but in this instance it
didn't pan out.
Tuesday morning Magnusscn re
ceived a letter demanding that he
deposit the sum of three hundred
dollars at a certain spot not later
than Tncsday evening, and that if
he failed to do so the services of an
undertaker would be needed at the
Magnusscn home. This demand
and threat did not seem to frighten
Aiagnussen; lie regarded it as a
bluff and he called , it by having
Hunt and Bellamy arrested as the
authors of the letter,
The cbarec under which the two
men were arrested is a serious one
and the statutes proyide a penalty
of from one to three years impris
onment.
