J. J. WILEY IS ARRESTED FOR POST-STEALING
TRIAL OF WILEY ON CATTLE RUSTLING CHARGE IS SLATED ON SUPERIOR COURT DOCKET
FOR JUNE 26; IS NOW FREE UNDER $2,500.00 BONDS; BUT WILL BE BROUGHT BACK TO
MODOC TO FACE NEW CHARGE
J. J. Wiley is again in the hands of the law, this time charged with
stealing 42 posts from the Forest Service on the Adin Mountain.
At this time, Wiley is out on a $2,500.00 bond on a cattle-rustling charge,
the case being set for June 26th. Seventy-five jurymen have been subpoenaed
to appear for the trial to be held on that date.
Thru some manner, Sheriff Sharp had got "wind" that Wiley had taken posts
from the Adin Mountain and hauled them to his ranch east of Eagleville.
Elmer Cantrall, who was with Wiley at the time the posts were loaded on
Wiley’s truck and taken to Eagleville, was arrested in Willets, Mendocino
County, last week by Sheriff Sharp. Cantrall, who is now in the county jail,
has confessed to helping load the posts onto Wiley’s truck and accompanied
Wiley on the trip.
Sheriff Sharp in company with Billie S. Brown went to Wiley’s ranch, (the
old Prior Ranch) last Thursday and found the posts. They also found that the
U. S. Stamp on the ends of the posts had been blurred with some dull
instrument. Later they found the instrument, an old cold chisel in the
blacksmith nearby, which some one had used to dull the Government stamp on
the ends of the posts.
Sheriff Sharp accompanied by District Attorney A. K. Wylie left this morning
for Camino, Eldorado County, Cal., to arrest Wiley on a petty theft charge.
Walter Kober, who is employed at the Harris Lumber Yard had the misfortune
of running a large sliver in his right hand last week, thus causing a
painful injury.

Glenn Hills of Nubieber was seriously injured in an accident that occurred
Monday while he was hauling material in a wagon to mend a dam on a piece of
land he is farming near the rains service station across the mountain.
The front-end gate of the wagon gave way under Hills and dropped him between
the wheels and the horses’ hoofs. The team ran away and pulled the heavily
loaded wagon over his body. He was taken to McArthur, where Dr. Hanna
examined him and found that he had a pelvic fracture, a broken fore arm and
