South Battleford, Nov 17, Hon. J.H. Lamont 
presided at the assize here Thursday. The court 
heard with closed doors, the case being King vx. 
Stewart, charged with rape, the jury finally 
bringing in a verdict of indecent assault. The 
utmost difficulty was experienced in selecting 
the jury, several jurors already challenged by 
the crown having to be recalled. On Friday the 
prisoner's counsel appealed for light sentence, 
the prisoner having already been confined three 
months in the mounted police guard room, and the 
jury having recommended the prisoner to mercy 
and signed a petition for suspended sentence, 
and as Crown Counsel Earle concurred, his 
lordship after warning the prisoner that it was 
more for the sake of his wife and family, and 
speaking of the heinous nature on suspended 
sentence. In charging the jury considered that 
the jurors petition was not altogether proper.  

Medicine Hat, Alta., Nov 1 J.W. Martin, the 
justice of the peace of Irvine, Alta., whose 
clothing was found on the river bank here last 
August, and who was supposed to have been 
drowned while in bathing, came in from Montana 
on the Crow's Nest line this morning. It is 
known that he took breakfast at a Chinese 
restaurant, but he has since disappeared. The 
Mounted Police are hot on his trail, and will 
detain him on a charge of wife desertion for a 
starter.

T.W. Lines, manager of the Blackman Ker Milling 
Co., Startcona with his family returned on 
Saturday night from a fourteen months trip to 
Europe.
