The city officials of Plummer, Idaho
in a squable with the United States
government, are likely to get them
selves into serious difficulties, accord
ing to an interesting story told the
editor of the Star Mirror in a personal
letter
"A United States marshal, with two
deputies, invaded this burg yester-
day." the writer says, evidently in
quest of violations of the law in
furnishing liquor to the Indians. A
certain Indian called Siwash entered
the only saloon here, which is run
in connection with the Wood hotel, and
tried to buy a bottle of whiskey, as
it is charged he has been accustomed
to do, and was refused in the pres
ence of the United States marshals.
Some of the friends of the proprietor
of the hotel who runs the saloon ac-
cused the marshal and deputies of CIV
ing the Indians money for the pur-
pose of buying the whiskey, SO they
might have cause for making the ar
rest The marshal denied the accusa-
tion, and a personal encounter ensued,
which resulted in a broken window.

This is in line with the sentiment
expressed a few days ago by c. j.
Munson and other farmers living east
of town. 1t is the sentiment express

living two miles south of Moscow. 1t
is the sentiment of hundreds of farm
