make the complaint against Jacobson.
According to itOpers acs0unt. on one
occasion some time ago. jacobson made
an indecent and suggestive remark in
the presence of Mrs. Roper. who
walked away and after a short time
forgot the incident. On Saturday
while Roper was away from home his
wife went into the hayloft of the barn
TO get hay for the horses. Unknown to
her jacobson followed and the first
she knew OF his presence in the loft
was when he said Boo, at her She
told him to 80 away and he grabbed
her by the wrist and made an indecent
proposal to her. She struggled and
freed herself and then turned on him
with the pitrhfork and oraered him 10
get out. He obeyed her, bur asked that
she say nothing To her husband about
il. but she did and he came to Butte
and had warrant issued FOR Jacob
son.
The latter tells about the same story
except that he denies that he laid
hands on Mrs. Roper. and claims that
when she repulsed him he went about
his business. jacobson had worked for
the Ropers on their ranch for long
time. but lately he has been chopping
