Dan Thompson and James Lafferty were bound over to the district court by Justice A. A. Elliott on a highway robbery charge. Bonds set at 1000 dollars each, they were unable to post and remanded to the sheriff. The alleged crime occurred about 2 o'clock last Wednesday morning near the red light district. Witness Charles Lindburg identified the defendants and described a beating and theft of five dollars and three silver dollars. Belle Woods and Dean Stuart corroborated elements of the assault and identification. Lindburg later left town but returned after police recovered him in Butte for testimony at the hearing.
