Roger Clifford OF Trout creek was
In Lewistown Tuesday, accompanied
by Mr.. Thomas, a brother OF r. III.
Thomas, for many years a well known
resident of Trout creek. Mr.. Thomas
stated that he had recently arrived
from Missouri and had intended lo-
eating upon the Trout creek bench,
where many Oklahomaltes have re-
Gently settled. Their experience In
trying for water has somewhat de-
TERED him, however. Several have
sunk over one hundred feet without
encountering water and but one has
been even partially successful. This
man struck water at forty-nine feet,
but the well quickly caved in and he
will have to take out the loose dirt
and wall up the well before he can
sink deeper.
c. Il. IIaggerty, who was arrested last
week by Sheriff Shaw and turned loose
by the court as the result Of habeas
corpus proceedings, was rearrested sun
day afternoon on the arrival of Sheriff
Bennett from Wisconsin. The Wiscon-
sin sheriff was armed with requisition
papers from Gov. Toole and held his
prisoner, in spite of opposition by Black
ford tS Blackford, who had been en-
gagged as counsel by Haggerty. When
the court opened Monday morning fresh
proceedings were instituted by the pris-
OHtI = tbuuoel, Nho. oiNSi opNhhihe uh
hour or two reading the papers issued
by Gov. Toole, came to the conclusion
that the actions of the governor were
beyond his jurisdiction and asked the
court for dismissal of the proceedings,
which was granted without demurrer.
Iaggerty is native of Prairie du Chen,
Wisconsin. His father is wealthy and
was elected on the Republican ticket To
the Wisconsin house of representatives
last fall. Sheriff Bennett left with his
prisoner Tuesday morning EN- route to
Wisconsin. Haggerty was employed
by the Power Mercantile Co. a short
time before his arrest and was very
quiet and retcent in his behavior while
working there. He is charged with the
seduction of the daughter of wealthy
family who reside at Prairie du Chen,
Wisconsin, and will undoubtedly be
prosecuted to the extreme limit of the
law.
