He 1b as .Impulsive and a3 Lot blooded as any Frenchman ever was and his antics in court makes the trial rather a sensational one. It will perhaps be remembered that he was mixed up some way iHth the defense in the trial for murder that resulted ever the killing of one Noakes, for which Treflle Doutre is now serving a term in the penitentiary. 1 Patnode, 'upon the witness stand, gave a very graphic description of the combat. He alleges that Dun and Morgan had robbed him twice. He met them that morning pn Doutre's ranch where he was at work shearing sheep. Dun bad a pistol, but he picked up a pair of shears. He accused tte two of robbing him and called them names when Morgan grabbed him and Dun attacked him with Ehears breaking break-ing Patnode's left arm and inflicting seventeen wcunds. S. R. Thurman is prosecuting the case. Sam. A. King appears for the defendants. |
