Show JIM YOUNGER IN HIS OWN JAIL 00 Iron Springs Aug 3 1924 A couple of weeks ago I admitted to your readers that the authorities had decided to put a jail jan at Iron Springs whether we needed it or not as a well patr patronized jail would be a amark amark amark mark of distinction in Iron County It has haa been said that no town could progress without a jail and a Jew so soI soI soI I gave gave Sheriff Leigh a lot in Younger Sub division for this symbol of urban urban- ic recognition and brought in a goat from Tom Byrnes American Ranch to complete the mascot I have lived on this ranch for over twenty years and was never brought in to jail but they brought out a jail to me while I I was up in the canyon last lasi week and planted it in my back lawn not twenty feet from my h home me corral This brings up a question which may lead to intricate ties There is an old axiom in English jurisprudence which declares that Each mans man's home is his Castle and he is presumed ed to have a right to defend defend defend de fend it against all comers corners except the regular soldiers rs Just now I am trying to get by on orl the dead level but suppose a sudden Kentucky impulse prompts me to shoot the balloon oon tires from under some lome daffy speed hound and he starts out to have me pinched the best I Ican Ican Ican can do is to move out to my screen room which is now the well ventilated ed part of the castle They cannot I have me arrested as I am in jail now the jail Sail is Is' Ismy my Castle and I must defend defend de de- de fend it They cannot remove remo me from one jail to another in the county without without with with- out my consent as I have a right to assume the other jail is dangerous or something I am not trying to break jail and do to call for a bondsman bondsman bonds bonds- man and if peaceful they cannot reach me through the Riot Act While I am already in jail I 1 have havea I a right to suppose that any attempt to break into the jail is an attempt to do bodily injury and no judge would deny any man man the right to protect himself I will just sit alt there and let them start something and if Gov Mabey calls alis out the militia on my account it tt will prove to be a good ad for the Cedar City Rodeo Sept 3rd rd to in in- In JAMES F.
