WEDNESDAY, JUNE IS, UV. THE RIVER PRESS 1, SHERIFF OSCAR MARTY IS CAUSE OF BIG NORTH DAKOTA DROUTH Local Sheriff Arrested Upon His Arrival Washburn, With Montana Boat Fleet Quite a number of Chouteau coun- ty pepple have been greatly interested in the cause of the drouth of the past few years in this county and never before could solve this problem. It has just been solved by the people of Macao county, North Dakota, and the blame for it was laid to Sheriff Oscar Marty, of Chouteau county, upon arrival in Washburn with the Cruiser Port Benton.

I Upon arrival at Washburn he was placed under arrest by the Sheriff of McLean county and his deputy who promptly placed handcuffs on him; he was tried upon the river bank there and sentenced to spend one night in his old home town. One member on the bank wanted to hang Marty but it was afterwards discovered that Ed Harris of this city made the sugges- tion. The proper papers were made out and ready to serve upon the Chouteau county Sheriff when the boat docked at Washburn. Oscar Marty resided at Washburn before he came to Mon- tana, and it was their way of welcom- ing him back to that state for one night. Mr. Marty reported a good time while on his old stamping grounds and expressed his apprecia- tion for the welcome accorded him. The warrant of arrest served upon our local peace officer was as follows: Warrant of Arrest. State of North Dakota, County of McLean. I3efore The Police Magistrate Washburn, North Dakota.

FORT BENTON, MONTANA commit various and diverse heineous crimes and wrongs, which said crimes are too numerous to mention and some of which have been beclouded by the passage of time, but among other things, the said Oscar Marty did commit the following wrongs: 1. That he, the said Oscar Marty. did abscond from and leave the vic- inity of Washburn, North Dakota, without the consent or approval of the mayor, chief of police, county sher- iff, or any of the constituted auth- orities of the said city and county, and did withdraw and repair to the great and sovereign state of Montana, and did there impose himaele upon the citizens of the said state to the ex- tent that he was elected to the of- fice of sheriff in one of the counties of the said state; that these acts were done intentionally, unlawfully and wilfully and with malice and without the consent or approval of the citi- zens of Washburn, North Dakota. 2. That heretofore, the said Oscar Marty was at one time employed by Holten Merc. Co., of Washburn, North Dakota, and did then and there while in the said employ conduct himself in such a way and in such manner that upon his retirement from such em- ployment, a severe depression follow- ed with the result that hard times have been experinced in the said City of Washburn and vicinity ever sin- ce; that the said Oscar Marty is res- ponsible for the said condition and has caused the same without authority and without justification. 3. That said Oscar Marty did com- mit various and diverse acts while re- siding in the city of Washburn in col- laboration with other citizens thereof which said heineous crimes cannot be I proven at this time for the lack of testimony on the part of his associates in crime, who are still residing in the City of Washburn. I 4. The citizens of Washburn fur- ther complain of the said Oscar Mar - 1 ty that after his departure from the said city, he has not returned until this date, and that now in lieu of re- turning by the ordinary avenues of transportation and communication, he! has stealthily crept up along the Mis- souri river and has gained entrance to the City of Washburn by an old abandoned harbor and port in a stealthy and sneaking manner in an effort to pounce upon the unwary and suspecting citizens of Washburn to again practice his old habits, all of which said acts are contrary to the form of statute and against the peace and dignity of the citizens of the City of Washburn and the State of North Dakota, and complainants herein pray that said Oscar Marty may be arrested and dealt with according to law. That he be tried and sentenc- ed and duly imprisoned and detained in the City of Washburn, for a period of at least one night in order that some of his old friends and associates may have ample opportunity to see and visit with this outlandish criminal Dated this 9th day of June, 1937. By order of the Citizens of Washburn, North Dakota. Sheriff Marty returned to this city Friday night accompanied by Alvin Jones. Mr. Jones started from St. Louis with the fleet and came all the way through to Washburn. Mr. Marty joined them at Omaha. Both men rendered real assistance to the Fort Benton Cruiser and are to be com- mended for their work, even though Marty was arrested and came very nearly meeting a sad fate at the hands of old friends in Washburn.
