KILLING JUSTIFIED IS COURT'S RULING

______________________

(Times-Democrat Special)

Starr was discharged without introducing any evidence in his own behalf. It was testimony that Starr, Locust and several other full blood Indians had been drinking whiskey and that when Starr passed Locust's house en route to his own home, Locust started after Starr with a gun. Starr was also armed. He is said to have warned Locust not to pursue him. Locust refused whereupon Starr shot him down.
