not guilty was entered yesterday by
William H. Mitchell member of the
I. W. W, who was arrested Saturday
night by Chief w. ]. Taylor and Pa
trolman Frank Ham of the Twin Falls
police force at the Cambridge rooms
The l. w. w. had in his possession
a large valise full of 1. w. W. litera-
ture for distribution, which the Off
GERS believe to be of the sort prohib-
tied by the laws of the state. The va
Ese also contained a pistol and an
electric lantern. letter addressed to
Walter Bastien was found in the pa
pers.
The prisoner asserted that he was
not Walter Bastien, the well known 1.
W. W., but was a friend of that per-
son. He said that he and Bastien
were together at Big Hole, Mont, and
that the latter was arrested there
and confined in Jail. He said Bastien
had asked him to take the valise and
go to Twin Falls with it.

His time for hearing has not yet

The documents in the valise include
some which denounced the American

ed on the moderate Socialists who
teach obedience to law and who ask
only for political action at the polls.
A large number of applications for
membership and membership cards
