East Friday afternoon William Fa

a warrant had been issued on com

! Sand point's young men who lias been
plaint of a wronged girl's father j
charging Martin with the grave crime !
of rape. With the assistance of Night
Marshal Sawyer, Martin was enticed
away from his home on Some pretext I
and placed under arrest. This meth
od was deemed advisable by the of
ficers owing to the delicate health of
Mrs. Martin, whom they were anxious
to spare from the shock and humilia- j
tion incident to the arrest of her tins- !
band at the home. !
After the arrest Mr. Sawyer, who :
was not then on duty as an officer,
turned the prisoner over to Mr. l a
