Indian sought for store entry An Indian by name of Harry Deschesne was being sought by authorities this week for breaking a window in the Lloyd Misner Shoe Shop and breaking and entering the old pool hall next to the shop. Deschesne will probably have a slight crease in his scalp as Mr. Misner nearly ruined his flashlight when he hit the Indian over the head in an effort to take him to jail. Misner relates that he had left the shop for awhile Saturday evening and returned about 8 p.m. to find a window in the north of the shop broken. He placed a covering over the window to keep out the wind and sat down to do a littje reading when he heard glass breaking in the old pool hall. He got his flashlight and went into the building and found Deschesne standing there and informed him that he was under arrest and led him out on to the sidewalk in front of the building. The Indian began fighting Misner on the sidewalk and it wa3 at this time that Misner lowered the boom with his flashlight. The Indian managed to get in a couple of good punches, one cracking a rib for Misner, and then fled south. Misner called Earl Pehrson, Monticello night marshal, and Sheriff Max King but after scouring the area back of the old BLM building the search was given up.
