The case of Arthur Ernest Hatheway : a British subject, who, induced by the promises of quick profits in the west, settled at Big Horn City, Wyoming Territory, U.S., October 6, 1884, and after more than four months continuous residence there, being wholly innocent of any offence against the law, was, on Feb. 20, 1885, at nightfall, arrested by United States soldiers, manacled and shackled, charged with being a deserter and horse-thief, carried away from his home and business, and unjustly imprisoned at Fort McKinney, for a whole month, and part of the time in solitary confinement, and subjected to many indignities and great hardships, and in peril of his life, after which he was tried by court martial and honorably acquitted.
