Denver, Colorado - Haywood, Moyer, and Pettibone Kidnapped by State of Idaho
The San Francisco Call of February 19th reported on the arrest, in Denver, of Big Bill Haywood and Charles Moyer, officers of the Western Federation of Miners. George Pettibone, whom The Call describes as a former member of the W. F. of M., was also arrested. The next morning, the men were transported by special train from Denver to Boise, apparently without extradition hearings, nor an opportunity to challenge extradition. The three men will be charged in connection with the murder of ex-Governor Steunenberg of Idaho.
The Call appears to approve of what amounts to a kidnapping, arranged by the authorities of Colorado and Idaho:

Today, the Democrats who are making the president, they will caucus in Nevada. Next Saturday, they will have a primary in South Carolina.
Today, the Republicans who are making the president, they will have a primary in South Carolina. Tuesday, they will caucus in Nevada.
See! The parties, they are totally different!
