AN OUTRAGE. Last week our townsmau
William Toussaint was apprehended on re-
QUESTION obtained from Gov. Ferry on a re-
QUESTION from Gov. Thayer OF Oregon, and
taken to Portland to answer a charge before
a justice of the peace for the alleged steal
stealing OF pair of boots some three years
ago. The requsition from Gov Thayer
was obtained upon the unsupported affidavit
of man i'll whose employ Mr.. Toussaint had
formerly been, without evidence OF any re-
liable character against him, and after hav
ing unsuccessfully prosecuted another party
for the same oiiense There was no evidence
of any reliable character against him, and
the Governor of Oregon was grossly imposed
upon by the parties obtaining said requisi
ton, for had he known that the case was so
imsy he surely would not have permitted
the disgrace consequent thereupon to have
been heaped upon any man. District Atty.
Bloomfield accompanied Mr.. Toussant to
Portland, when after consultation with Dep
uty District Atty Mulky the case was dis
missed. The authorities of Oregon should
be more courteous in coming over here and
arresting our citizens
