ERRORS CORRECTED.

Whitwell, Tenn, Nov. 5, 1901.
Editor Sequachee Valley News:
In recent issue of the Chattanooga
News we notice clipping from Geor-
gia paper stating the manner in which
Sheriff Cain Of Catoosa County, Ga,
was treated while in this state serving
some papers, AS he has made some
wilful misstatements of the facts in the
case, we feel it our right and duty to
refute them.
When Sheriff Cain arrived Thurs.
day evening DR.. b. NJ Doyle had Civ
en- bond for appearance before 'Suuires
Cowan and Bryant acting Justices OF
the Peace for Marion County, g. NJ.
Spiva having sworn out a warrant a.
gainst DR.. Doyle before Squire Havron
of this place for misdemeanor com.
mitted in che State of Georgia. Half an
hour before the time set for the DR.. s
appearance Gnstead of the time having
past for his appearance, as Sheriff Cain
reported) Mr.. Spva demanded that the
DR.. appear before the court Ito saw
nothing of Sheriff Cain giving instruct
ions to override the court and law of
our state) and DR.. Doyle taken to Geor-
gia any way. Sheriff Cain was in our
State assuming to exercise all the au-
thority of an officer. The Sheriff had
no jurisdiction beyond the State line to
execute papers, and his acts showed
that if circumstances had permitted
he would have been only too willing to
kidnap DIR. Doyle He had no right to
remove prisoner from this State until
all papers against him in this State
were satisfied.
The Sheriff of Georgia says when he
went after the prisoner there was a
mob of twenty-five men around the
house. The persons who were DR..
Walker in the house and Wiley Parker
at the yard gate who told the Sheriff
where the DR.. was. These were all the
men present.
He also states that one of the leaders
OF the mob stated that he CAIN would
never remember putting the handouts
on the DIR. There is no recollection OF
any such statement,
AT the trial q continuance was grant
ed and the excessive bond removed and,
the Sheriff had to either go home or re-
main for trial the next Monday eve.
The mistake of the authorities here was
in swearing out warrant in this State
against man for an otfense in Georgia.
The meat in the coCoanut is that DR..
Doyle had come to this place, and had
met with favor with the working peo-
Pile, md there is justice OF the peace
in this town who required DR.. Doyle to
give $1,000 bond for a misdemeanor
whom our law requires but $3.50 for such
cases. Hence when the good citizens
saw how things were progressing they
came to the DR.. s aid materially.
Now it is not customary for working
people to air their sentiments, but when
they do they like the whole truth tc
be told.
A miner works hard for his living
and comes out from his work black and
gFimy but the dollar be earns is as wh te
as any mans money, and it's this dol
lar that some Of these conspirators are
envious Of and are desirous OF getting,
but the man from Catoosa Co., Ca, who
has made this wilful miststement is
blacker at heart than any miner ever is
when he comes from work.
