hooskia ana as he was with the
'Ppo'i''oh III th Is controversy our party
was practically without legal counsel
except what could be offered by Major
rem who took an active part in the
proceedings and who by his lonp ex.
perience with men and affairs hoe
practical know ledge of the law. The
result OF the seeond conference was an
other warrant issued by Justice of the
feace smith, a search warrant. and
armed with this document tbe hand
returned again to the scene of conflict
Mr.. Casady re- terated his declarations
and Mrs. Casady, also, took occasion 70
beseech the visitors to desis+
| Deputies to Rescue.
| Again our party backed up and con-
suited. The upshot was that five depu.
1ies We're informally sworn in to assist
constable Gross in serving the warrant
on "ageriy. The deputies were E. B.
Meeker, W. A. Grunewald, o. P. Deck
CT, george W. Trenary and N. F.. King.
Aiter thlS preliminary the door was
forced and an entrance gained to the
house. Wagerly submitted peaceably
to the officers. Constable Gross took
charge of Wagerly and we started back
down to the court room. Casady &C.
companied the party. Before the court
room was reached, however, members
Of the party forcibly took wagerly into
custody, ignor ing the constable CON-
pletely. The crowd broke into run
and Wagerly, taking advantage of the
confusion, broke for freedom. Several
OF our party, many of whom were
athletic men in fine fitness for al
sprint, attempted to overtake him but
ne outdistanced everybody and when
last seen was going out of town as fast
as he could run.
There was never semblance of
disorder manifested by our party. We
were organized to rid our little town
Of a man who we as citizens did not
wish to harbOr. There was not a gun
or drop of liquor in the crowd. In
the party were some of the county IS
best known and highly respected citi-
zens, none of whom will seek to DENY
having been listed among those who in
sisted upon u pholding what they be-
lieved to be right -
Wants Girl Arrested.
Mr.. Grunewald and Mr.. Leitch came
to Grangeville to consult with the coun-
ty officials regarding the affair and to
institute proceedings with view of
having the girl in the case, Miss sulli-
van, committed to the state industrial
school at St. Anthony. 1t is currently
reported that since Saturday evening
the girl has left the state.
Close upon the visit of Mr.. Leitch
and Mr.. Grunewald, came Mr.. Casady
on Monday evenings train. He de-
clares that the members of the crowd
which broke into his home have com
mitted great injustice. He says that
he will fight all along the line and that
he will carry the battle into the nation
al capital at Washington, d. c., if
necessary, to see that persons in the
mob as he terms the body, are rebuk
ed for their actions
Casady Says Great Crime.
"The blaQkest stain on Idaho
county," dec Jared Mr.. Casady, with
much feeling; "has resulted from mob
violence. The good people of Idaho
county know that fact and the good
people of the county will not sanction
the action of these men who strong
armed me, smashed the door to my
home, subjected my wife to ridicule
and insult and evidenced a sweeping
disregard for the law and for justice.
"The members of the mob came to
my house early in the evening soon
after Wagerly arrived and the consta-
BILE, without any warrant, and likewise
without legal complaint against Wag-
erly, demanded ID the right to take Wag-
erly from the house. | denied them
this right. Two more visits the mob
made to my house and the last time
about IL clock at night, they refused
to listen to reason and justice and amid
a disgraceful scene forcibly overpower-
ed me and took Wagerly from the
house. / heard threats of dynamit-
ing the house and other declarations OF
a serious nature involving Wagerly per-
sonally.
Whole Affair an Outrage.
81 consider the whole affair an out
rage. 1t was mob rule and nothing
else. The law was not considered. The
filing of the complaint against Wager
ly, charging him with vagrancy, and the
move to take him to the office of the
;,,.t;ao of %ha uaaca for hearing were
