MARSHAL GIBBONS DEFENSE.
An Attorney Defends His Actions al
Being I'm Part Necessary

Doing IN Fart necessary.
In reference to the case against Marshal Glib
tons, OF snoQualmie, Attorney J. B. Metcal'e has
handed in the following statement over his own
signature:
Among your locals OF today is one captioned
BRUTAL Marshal Gibbons" which / apprehend
Is called forth by Misrepresentation of the
facts for which Mr.. Gibbons was ARE sted and
does gross injury to a most excellent officer
Mr.. Gibbons enjoys the confidence of the
Officers who have created him deputy and /
believe they fully appreciate the trying char
acter of Affairs that exist at the ranch
OF the Hop Growers Association during hop
picking time. The picking of the crop
At the ranch necessitates the hiring of between
100 ana LOCO Indians. In this way the repre-
sentatives OF many tribes are brought to the
ranch, and, OF course, feuds exist between
some of them, it becomes necessary to camp
them upon different portions of the ranch to
prevent trouble The most untirng vigilance,
night and day, Is absolutely necessary to pre-
vent peddlers from clsndestinely selling liquor
TO the Indians The officers and patrolmen for
the ranch during this time are kept up both
night and day to prevent the smuggling OF
liquor TO the Indians the consequences OF
which are too well known to need repetition here.
When an Indian becomes crazed:with drink, as
the occurrence happening there of about ten
days since viii illustrate, some disaster is sure
TO take place. Within two DAYS after the Bro
der incident an Indian who now lies in the hos
pital wasi nearly cut to pieces by another while
crszed with liquor that had been struggled,
whic. evinces the fact that severe measures are
necessary to prevent loss of life aud property
The testimony shows that Broder and his
friend were about some bushes near the side of
the road, and on the property of the hop ranch,
and that Officer Gibbons had previously warned
them away from that part of the ranch, and told
them to dispose of their wares on the county
road and not on the hop ranch. believing that
they, like others, were there for the purpose of
selling liquor TO the Indians. Mr.. Gibbons in
his account of the affair, said that while he was
seated on his horse talking TO one of the men,
the one who held the gun in his hand, he put
his hand TO his side and took a cartridge from
his pocket, when Gibbons sprang from his
horse, seized the gun from the person holding
II and threw 10 down, and that no further
sauit than that was made.
l merely recite these facts 20 show you the
injustice that has been done Mr.. Gibbons in
speaking OF him as being brutal. and also to
show you how necessary il is that the officers Of
the law should use the utmost care to prevent
crime. The poor Indian who hes cut and
slashed at the hospital is the best evidence that
too great precaution, even approaching severe
measures the part of the officers, is necessary
to prevent a repetition of such disasters. Yours
