INTERFERENCE WITH THE
LAW IS COSTLY
Heavy Fine for Refusing to Al
low Election to be Held
at His Home

Phoebe Record: Doubtless ]. Z.
Wamboldt of Lake Valley, has come to
the conclusion that il is not q wise plan
to prevent his neighbors from exercising
their rights of franchise in the future.
This is what he did on the occasion OF
the late primary election and 1t cost
him q. least 1854 so. besides the worry
for fear that he would be obliged to
serve a term in the State ~penitsntiary.
The matter was brought to the atten.
ton OF the Grand Jury, which returned
an indictment against Wamboldt
w%hereupon q warrant was sworn to by
the District Attorney and placed in
the hands of Undersheriff Jake john
son, who arrested the accused at his
home in Lake Valley last Sunday.
Wamboldt plead guilty to the charge
of felony aud vas sentenced Thursday
morning { pay q fine of $3.50 aud costs
of suit, amounting to $40460.
From the fact that the case was an
aggravated one aud that such offenses
are punishable by imprisonment in the
penitentiary for q period of as much al
FIVE years. the defendant a consider
himself in luck that he got on: OF the
difficulty so lightly.
1t appears that one Of the inspectors
of the late primary election in Lake
Valley was a brother.in.law of Wan
boldt, against whom he had a grudge
and whom he had forbidden to entel
upon his premises. As the story goes
be refused to allow an election to b'
held in his house, and Wamboldt final
ly reached the state wherein he refused
to give up the box containing the cleo
ton ballots which had been delivered
some day s prior by a deputy Of sheriff
Smith. AS q result Of his action n
less than IL persons who appeared a
the Wamboldt ranch were not abb
to a their votes.

on July first received a wire from Mr..
Fraser stating that l was hired.
After waiting nearly three weeks for

year might be cut down to nine mouths,
and wishing a definite statement OF the
agreement, / wrote Mr.. Fraser asking
for a written contract.
To this letter l received no reply. and
