Three Prisoners Brought From Pocatello by Sheriff
Last Saturday Sheriff Jones received three federal prisoners from Pocatello. They are of varied colors and nationalities. One man, George Tokeshoi from the land of the cherry blossom, drew three months for white slavery and sought to arrange a marriage with Nina Hall of Pocatello. Deputy Fackrell recalled a previous case where a prisoner could marry during confinement, but nothing came of it here. William Walker, a cotton picker from Geo'ah, sold distilled liquor and faced a fine totaling one hundred big iron coins plus three more in the fumigated courthouse. Frank Hamilton, described as white, had attacked the post office at Salmon City and drew three months. The prisoners will be kept in the basement as federal inmates.
