AN OUTRAGE

naVfVd AhNStrthG HoNci. w Htlc
packing the goods he used a piece
OF worthless carpet that was thrown
over the refrigerator. thinking Of
course il had been cast aside. just
before his departure for home Mr..
Brady was accosted by Mr.. Tally,
from whom he made his purchase,
and asked IL he had seen a piece Of
carpet while packing the goods.
Mr.. Brady replied that he had and
thinking 1t worthless had used it
for packing, but that he would, as
soon as the goods arrived at Noun
tain Home, box ii and return IL to
Nampa at his own expense. This
seemed perfectly satisfactory to
Mr.. Talley. The goods did not
reach here until Thursday morning.
A short time thereafter the passen-
ger train came in and with il JUS
tice Of the Peace named Young and
Constable named Taylor, from
Nampa, bearing a warrant issued
from Young's court for the arrest of
Mr.. Brady under the charge Of
stealing the carpet. The warrant was
presented TO Justice Sprague Of this
place for endol sement, which he re-
fused to do, knowing the good stand
ing of Mr.. Brady in this community
and believing that a cold-blooded
outrage was being attempted upon
one of our good citizens. This put
an end to further proceedings and
the Constable, who claimed to own
the rag and who swore out the war
rant, then desired compromise in
the shape of $15 to reimburse him
for his time and expenses coming
here, he claiming that he was en-
titled TO $38 mileage. To avoid
further annoyance Mr.. Brady con-
sented to this and invited Taylor
over TO his place of business to re-
ceive the money, but Taylor was
too anxious to catch the next
train going west and would not leave
the depot. So Mr.. Brady, at his re-
quest, agreed to send the amount to
Taylor by mail, and the two Nampa
officials took the next train for their
place of residence, doubtless chuck
ling to themselves at their great
success. The above we gather from
Mr.. Brady and have no reason
whatever to doubt its truthfulness.
Sam Brady is an old resident Of
this section, is highly respected by
all and his word is as good as his
bond, and such a charge against
him is looked upon by all as an I'M
mitigated outrage without any foun-
dation whatever.
1t seems, however, that the
Nampa Justice, after returning
hoE,e, recanted his action and that
evening sent Mr.. Brady the follow
ing by mail:
8. s. Brady Min. Home:

Immediately upon receiving the
above, Mr.. Brady fired back at
Young the following which he also
requests US to give to the public:
