TROUBLE GREW OUT OF
A MINCO JOINT RAID

THE report in the morning paper
Yesterday that a deputy sheriff was ar
rested by the town marshal at AIinco
on charge Of selling liquor was abso-
lutely and unqualiHedly false, said
Sheriff Louthan this morning.
Saturday about noon message to
the sheriffs office from Minco stated
thar liquor was being sold there and
Deputy Yerta was sent to investigate.
Deputies A. H. Jones Of Minco and
]. D. Bryan OF Amber were already
on the ground and Sam Potter's i)nt
being under suspicion, they had se-
cured a seaccn warrant and proceeded
70 execute it.
When the officers, who were doing
their duty in a legal way and with due
regard for all concerned began the
search" said Mr.. Louthan "the hood
lum element, backed up by some citi-
zens who should have known better.
began to raise cry, starting some
thing like a riot They jeered the Of
ficers, and called upon the town mar
shall, who was too weak to resist tie
clamor Of the crowd, to arrest Bryan
for carrying a weapon. Mr.. Bryan
explained that he was an officer, but
no attention was paid to this. Marsbal
Aber arrested Bryan and took him be-
fore the mayor who ordered him re-.
leased.
When Deputy Yerta arrived In
Minco about four o'clock in the after
noon, he found a strong spirit Of de.
lfiance against the sheriffs men among
the wide-open element and he at once
telephoned to the sheriff, who left for
the scene on tn 1880 train, which was
late, not arriving TIL after 9 clock.
The city marshal was arrested on
charge Of interfering with an officer
and A. S. Taylor, well known citi-
zen Of the town, was arrested for
abetting in the disturbance at Potter's
place. About this time the report Of
Potter's murder was received and the
officers dropped everything to look
after this The marshal and Mr. Tay'
lor were both released on their own
reognizance.

 The latter entered the Congression- al race against Messrs. Kehoe, Griggs and Stephens only a few weeks ago and for this reason he was not looked upon as strong candidate.
 The returns which reached here this morning, however, show him to sbe leading the Congressional ticket with counties which are known to have gone for him to be heard from. Judge Griggs is second in the race, and some of the large precincts known to be for him are yet to be heard from, while Mir Kehoe, considered to be the lead ing candidate. and possible winner in the first primary. is third, with almost his full strength already accounted for ..s5
