DeForge Saturday evening and told
him that he wanted him. DeForge
asked the officer for a warrant and
while Mr. Kelly was looking through

Main st. Officer Kelly fired three or
four times attracting large crowd.
He was finally apprehended near the
lane which leads from Main to Wash
ington SITS and taken to Jail. SANDY"
Vetal and Officer Brazzel assisted in
the chase.
DeForge is one of the two brothers
who assaulted Deputy sheriff Godfrey
with aniron bar few months ago when
he went to arrest them, and for which
one is serving term in states prison.
OF late the family part of which bear
bad name, have been living on River
