Kern of Morrow, Idaho, who were arrested charged with violating the Sunday rest law in keeping there saloons open on Sunday. It appears that one of the defend ants in the Westlake case, after pleading guilty to the charge, went before several of the officers in Grangeville and tried to get a warrant for the arrest of the Rev. Van Wert for wearing an Odd Fellows' pin which they claimed was in violation of the state law but the officer whom the above party appeared before for the warrant weighed the parties and there respective business in the balance and were convyiced that the reverend gentleman was not amenable to arrest on the charge, so wouldn't issue the warrant. "On the arrival of the Westlake saloon men home they learned that the saloon man at Morrow had been arrested by Rev. Van Wert. How ever, the Morrow saloon man was not as smart as the Westlake men in that he plead not guilty and Judge Erb of Lewiston, set the time for the trial and Kern, the saloon man, appeared with his witnesses and attorney, only to meet with defeat and return home much the wiser after having paid his fine and resting for one day in the county jail at Lewiston. "The Morrow saloon man of course, on his return home, called on his Westlake brothers and through their influence, at least that is suppo sition, they prevailed upon S. J.

Van Wert had taken one degree in Odd Fellowism at the time of his arrest and that at the time the case was to be tried was a full-fledged Odd Fellow and that the case simply grew out of the two saloon cases. "Upon the above showing Prose cuting Attorney Griffith ordered the case dismissed without the Rev. Van Wert so much as appearing for trial, which was done by the Hon. Farns worth calling up Rev. Van Wert by phone and advising him that the case had been dismissed and that he need not appear.
