Misdeeds
SAN FRANCISCO March 1.-The SUI
preme court has been appealed to in
matters pertaining to the shootings and
iynchings in Round valley last year and
today ordered the discharge from Gus
tody of John NJ. Vinton, one of the men
arrested for the lynching of Jack Little
field about a year ago. Littlefield and
Vinton, who was the foreman of George
White, the king of Round valley got
into a dispute in May of last year and
the former shot Vinton through the
lungs Two days afterward Littlefeld
was arrested for the shooting and while
in the custody of the officers was taken
by unknown men and lynched. Vinton
and others were arrested for the crime
and were bound over by justice of the
peace to the superior court for trial. Vim
ton was delivered to the sheriff of Te-
hama county on July 1st and he repeat
edly asked for hearing Of his case.
Several times continuances were grant
ed to the prosecution and finally the de-
fendant made a peremptory demand
that he have a hearing. This was re-
fused by the court, the reason being that
on account of the bad condition of the
roads the witnesses could not be se-
cured to attend the trial. No satisfac-
tory decision being given by the court
as to when the hearing could be held,
petition for a writ of habeas corpus
was filed before the supreme court. This
was heard by the court in bank which
ordered the discharge of the prisoner
on the grounds that he had not been
given a speedy hearing and there was
no reason why the case should not have
been tried.

cause we DO not hasten to do the bid

placed the amount at $500, because it
