Van Buren Argus, Crawford County, Arkansas September 14, 1904 >From Sunday’s Daily Saturday morning Deputy U S Marshal Bean came over from Fort Smith and enlisted the services of Constable Will Smith, who accompanied him to the country and arrested Lewis Hammock, wanted by the Federal officers to answer to the charge of having made false affidavits in a land claim. Yesterday Constable Will Smith went to the northern part of the county and arrested a white man aged 65, named Wm Sage, and locked him up until Monday afternoon when he will be given a preliminary hearing before Justice Ferguson. Sage is a mountaineer who, it is alleged, has been married seven times. He was indignant over his arrest and claims that he is a Morman in faith and is being persecuted without cause.
