Fairmonr, MINI. March H.
While A. c. Townley, president of
the National Nonpartisan league, was
in Fairmont yesterday awaiting ac-
ton of the Martin county grand
jury, which today will consider a
charge of circulating a seditious
pamphlet against him, Sheriff G. G.
Lee slipped over from Jackson coun-
ty and arrested him of a charge of
conspiring to Obstruct the nations
military policies.
Townley Immediately was arraign-
ed before Judge G. M. Tiff, who is
sitting for Judge Dean, and bound
over to the Jackson county grand
jury in $1,000 bail. The bond was
furnished by four Martin county
farmers, August r. Krumweide,

sen and Wilbur Sherman. Only one

literature is such as to hinder the
prosecution Of the war. They were
accompanied by Attorneys F. Al. Pike

with a motion that Townley and

case by the grand jury as they were

The Jackson county warrant served
on Mr.. Townley is the one that Sher-
liz Lee had been endeavoring to serve
for three weeks. 1t grew out of a
speech made at Lakefeld by Gilbert,
in which he is alleged to have said
that the government had asked FARM
ers to subscribe for Liberty bonds
and other war funds and now was
taking their sons. AS the league is
not incorporated, TownIey is held to
be Gilbert's employer and responsible
for his statements. The executive
