Nineteen Warrants Issued Judge
Crawford Acts IS Committing
Magistrate --Asttron Prosseutss

There was something doing at
Harmarth last week when Judge
Crawford and Attorney General
Hsffron were called there by the
citizens to rid the town of sight
less porkers, after having appealed
to the local authorities in vain.
The following account Of the raid
il taken from the Marmarth Mail:
ION the early dawn Of 1911
Asst. Atty Gen. Heffron came to
Narmarth and secured sufficient
evidence to warrant him in going
before Justice Heath Of Beach and
securing warrants for thirteen
men charged with maintaining
common nuisances in Marmarth.
'.These warrants were issued
by Justice Heath of Beach, who
treated them as joke. and stated
that they were a joke. They were
given to Deputy Sheriff Joe Nor
ris Of Beach. who came to Mar
marth on the expense Of the
county. fourished the warrants in
q heroic and grandstand manner,
only to return TO Beach taking the
warrants with him, and later
wiring our marshal to make no
arrests on them. It is this kind
Of business on the part Of justices
and officers that creates a feeling
of contempt for our laws, and
when Mr.. Heffron took the matter
before Judge Crawford he decided
to take the matter in:o his own
hands.
"After arriving in Marmarth
he opened court in the Woodman
hall. and as many of those
charged with an offense as could
be found in town were taken be.
fore him for examination.
Several of the defendants
have been taken before the judge
and court is in session as we GO
to press. Two have waived ex.
animation and three others stood
1u SAeaIuAudtlOu duU WSlC EOuuU
over to the district court.
"Orders have been issued by
the court to destroy and burn all
bars, bar fixtures. furniture.
glasses and other saloon material
and the marshal is just igniting q
$4,000 fire by orders Of the court.
A hundred or more men with
their throats parched with thirst
are standing around witnessing
the destruction, and when the
booze is taken from the Jail,
where it has been stored, and
turned into the Little Missouri
it is predicted that an effort will
be made to pump the river dry
and store the contents in wells.
What a time they can have in
Medora when the champagne tide
reaches that point.
Warrants are out and unserved
for Geo. Sawyer, S. E. Jernigan,
Tom Bowe, Harry Leonard, Tom
Lane, Dad Gilmore. Tex Biggs,
VIM. Gore, Metz. Casey, Harrison
and John Closterman. These war.
rants will be left with the city
marshal and will be served at the
first opportunity"
