John Jackson Arrested.

Sheriff Heskett arrested John Jack
son Tuesday afternoon about 4:3C
o'clock on a warrant sworn out by
Ben Vanderworth of Belle PLANE.
He is charged with felOniOus assault
in discharging the contents Of a shot
gun into the seat Of VanderwOrths
wagon, part of the shot entering Mr..
VanderwOrth'S anatomy and part of
it going into his team. Jackson gave
bond in the sum of $500 with W. j.
Newbold as his surety, and was re-
leased. His trial is set for Monday,
January Is, before Squire Cox.
Vanderworth says that about three
weeks ago he was driving along the
road near Belle Plaine when he met
John Jackson and Bert HASTE. They
were in wagon and were apparently
having much fun. Shortly after he
passed them a discharge of gunshot
entered his body and frightened
his horses. His suppOsitiOn is that
Jackson fired the shot. 1t was rain.
ing and VanderwOrth was wrapped
up in heavy OvercOat, which pre-
vented serious injuries from the Incl.
dent. Mr.. VanderwOrth went tC
Belle PLANE and swore ont a warrant
for JackSOn'S arrest before Justice Of
the Peace Surge. 1t was put int
the hands Of a constable at Belle
PLANE for service, but it seems thai
the constable was under the impress
sion that Jackson was a desperate
and he was afraid to serve it unless hC
had assistance. The papers were theI
sent TO Sheriff HeSkett, but in tn,
meantime Jackson had gone to tht
Strip on hunting expedition and th,
arrest was not made Until his return
Jackson has been at home for severa
days but the authorities were no
aware of his presence until Tuesday
when the arrest was made.
There is another story in connection
with the incident which we are no
able to affirm. IL is to the effect tina
the gunshOt was fired from a field b
someone living in the vicinity of Bell
Plaine, and further that Jackson
abe to prove an alibi, he claimin
that he was not and has not been any
where near Belle PLANE during th
past few months. Vandeworth doe
not allege that he saw the shot FREQ
The facts in the case will be brough
out at the trial in January.
