the calendar clerk and they had
agreed on the November 24 date
because he has a trial in Thurston
County the week of December i
which may go more than one
week. He said when he received
his notice from the calendar clerk,
he discovered the Duggins trial
had been set for December 8 and
had contacted the calendar clerk,
who told him it was an error and
that the trial was set for
November 24.
McClanahan told the court he
had received the notice that the
trial had been set for December 8
and that, because of other cases
which were on the docket for the
week of November 24, planning
in his office had been toward the
December 8 date.
He stated he had returned
from a vacation to find that the
date had been set for November
24 without knowledge of his
office.
He stated some of the tests on
the rifle which was involved in the
incident had not yet been
completed and it was uncertain if
they would be completed by
November 24.

Larry McFarlane, Shelton,
pleaded guilty to a reduced charge
of third degree assault when he
appeared in Mason County
Superior Court before Judge
Frank Baker Friday morning.
McFarlane had been charged
with second degree assault in
connection with an incident
which occurred last February 2 in
which he was charged with
pointing a rifle at Jack Sylsberry,
a Shelton police patrolman.
Deputy Prosecutor Gary
Burleson told the court his office
was reducing the charge after
investigating the case further and
finding there was doubt if
McFarlane had actually intended
to threaten the officer with the
gun.
McFarlane was given a
one-year sentence in the Mason
County jail with all except six
consecutive weekends suspended.
He was also fined $350 and
ordered to pay the cost of
prosecution. He was also ordered
not to possess or use any firearms
during the year and to refrain
from the use of alcohol outside
his own home.
Burleson told the court that
what had happened was that the
police were called to the
McFarlane residence by
McFarlane's wife after a family
argument and that after officers
had arrived, McFarlane came out
of the house carrying a loaded
rifle. He was ordered to put the
rifle down and, after some
argument, did so.
Shelton attorney Gerald
Whitcomb, who represented
McFadane, told the court that the
police had been oiled after a
family argument and that there
had been drinking involved. He
stated McFarlane did not know
the officers had surrounded the
house when he came out with
another man and the other man's
children to give them a ride home.
Whitcomb said McFarlane
stated he was taking the rifle out
to put it in the trunk of his car.
Whitcomb said McFarlane had
turned with the gun still in his
hands when the officers had
called out to him.
The attorney stated that
McFarlane had recently obtained
a job with the Bremerton Water
Department and was doing well
there and was planning to move
to Bremerton.
