JOE BUSH'S TRICK,
What the Colorado officials Did
When They Learned Of IL.

Yesterday the NEWS published al
account Of the arrest, 10y DEPUTY
Bush, at Trinidad, Colorado, of Mr.
John Hopkins, on a charge Of un
lawful cohabitatiOR. The DenveI
Ns,rs also has an account Of thu
transaction, which it places undel
the following headings: "Bush'i
Bold Bluff. 4 Mormon Marsha
tries to take Prisoner Out Of Colo
RADIO Against the Law. He Fails il
the Attempt and Goes Home TO Sal
Lake City Empty-handed." Their,
is one striking inaccuracy in thi:
heading, and that is, that Joe Busl
is a sMormon marshal" He is q
deputy United States marshal, and
much Of his time for several years
has been spent in hunting fOr
HMormons" accused Of Violating
the Edmunds law. and he Is one OF
the class that has heretofore been
petted and encouraged by the Den
yer paper. Now that they have
had an experience with him in
Colorado, here is what is said Of it:
"Deputy United States Marshal
Bush Of Utah has been guilty Of
great discourtesy 10 his brother
officials in Colorado. He made an
effort TO violate a well known law,
but was called down 10y Uncle Sans
servants here. In the Territory Of
Utah, as is well known, TO disre-
gard customs established in other
States is not considered misde-
meanor. The deputy marshals set
the example. Whenever they want
a man, II matters not where he is,
they 20 for him. IL has been Gus
toniary for them 10 90 up into Idaho
and arrest men there and take
them TO Utah. They were able % do
this with impunity in a Territory
and thought they could do the same
in an organized State. Mr.. Bush
learned that he could rot. The law
and the rule is that when individ-
usls are wanted in a United States
court in another State or Territory,
the warrant i delivered TO the mar
shall of the State in which the per-
son lives. This official makes the
arrest and it is usually customary
for the prisoner TO be brought before
the nearest United States commits
siouer and give bonds for his ap-
pearance at the place he is wanted
at the appointed time. No requi-
sitiOn papers are necessary, but the
arrest Is not legal If made 10y the
marshal Of 4 different district than
that for which he is appointed.
Deputy Marshal Bush went
down TO Trinidad a few days ago
and there arrested a man 10y the
name Of John HOpkin. Having
done this, he was proceeding to take
him TO Utah. Hopkin was wanted
for an alleged violation Of the
Edmunds Mormon law and the
warrant for his arrest had been
made out in Utah. Ii looked rs If
he was going to reach the line all
right, when he was intercepted by
kilograms from the offices OF TIA,
United States marshal and the
United States district attorney.
These commanded him 10 take the !
prisoner hack to Trinidad or Pueblo, |
As he might choose, and instructed |
him to take him before a United |
States Commissioner. Bush did So
and landed in Put bio with his man
HOpkin was arraigned
and bound over in the sum Of 81. $40 |
10 the United States court. He
gave this amount OF hail for his aP
Dearanca at the prnpertime in Utah. |
Bush then returned 10 Utah empty
having all his trouble for
