him to the penitentiary for three years
and will causo long and bitter sot row
to his family. This week in district

Burdick and in his trial before twelve
good men and true he was found guilty
and tho judge on Thursday gavo him

hoped will be a lesson to othors. Tho
The ebootlafr, as was told in these col
utama at tho tine, occurred on the eve
in of the 12th day of Juno last at
tho homo of Poyer and tho trouble
leading up to it was caused by tho
deputy sheriff and a collector of the
Walter A. Wood company levying an
oxoou ion on a buggy for a debt owing
to that firm. Tho weapon used was a
shotgun and thu deputy leceived a
good number of thu leaden missies In
his body. A gteat deal of sympathy
is oxpiessed for tho convicted tnan'd
