The Priest Released on His Own
Recogniznncc.
Sioux Falls, S. D., Sept. 23-At-
torney D. E. Powers is home from
Flandrau, where he went to defend
Father J. G. Ahern, priest of the Cath
olic church there, arrested on the
charge of assault and battery, pre-
ferred by William Early, member Of
Ahern's flock. The justice held Ahern
on his own recognizance, but acquitted
his sister, who was also arrested on a
similar charge. The unfortunate oc-
currence grew out of scandalous
charges. which were reported to have
been made against Ahern by the wife
of the complainant. Father Ahern
demanded and secured statement
from Mrs. EARLY to the effect that she
did not make the statements in ques-
ton and did not believe them. AS
Ahern was leaving the house Early
is said to have struck at him with a
spade, and the trouble which resulted
was the cause of the arrest Back of
the whole matter are said to be some
sensational facts which are likely to
be aired in Ahern's behalf before Mgr.
SatOlli.
