Show ALLEGED INSANE II CUES OEPUTV SHERIFF Has the Best of an Officer Who Was Taking Him to Jail. V. II, Keelcy. the man who was brought In from Bingham Thursdav and locked up in the county jail on a charge of insanity, was examined before Judge Armstrong of the Third District court Saturday. Owing to the absence of one of tho principal witnesses, tho hearing wns continued until next Tuesday at 1:30. While Deputy Sheriff Butler was on Ills way to tho county jail with Koeloy. tho latter ran amuck nhd insisted on what ho considorod his inalienablu right to wade in the water of tho gutter and tnke tho deputy with him. Butler protested pro-tested and Keelcy rebelled. A strugglo ensued, in which tho olllocr was getting decidedly the worst of It, and he called right lustily for help. He didn't call for anybody In particular. Any old help from any old source was good enough for him, and he made this" known by a series of gasps ami gurgles while tho husky miner wns choking him into a proper vl6w of ihe sltuatlou. Just when Butler was. about "all In" two strangers hove in sight, and. though tho deputy Hooded both of them, only ono responded to his pleading cry. With his assistance the insane man was thrown off and finally dragged to the Jail, only half a block away. Butler was so hot at tho other man's refusal to take a hand In the struggle that, as-soon as-soon as he had locked Keeley up, ho hurried back nnd placed him under arrest ar-rest ou the charge of refusing to come to the aid of an ofllcer In distress. Tho man proved to bo Eugene Zinger, a storekeeper, store-keeper, who lives near the county Jail nnd hns his own views as to the expediency expedi-ency of mixing and mingling with insane men when they are inclined to have their own way. He was released on his own word of honor that he would be in court next Tuesday and explain why he prefers peace to a fight wil.li a crazy man. |
