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.
