In Air,-! i. ;f l'JOS Louis H. Webb, in ff.vn.aiiy with .Martin Peterson and Von V.Tlllani AbIi, of Deerlng, yeht. on a hunt in;,' and fishing trip to Saddle For ' k, a tributary of Elk river in 1 Nolle county, Cal. Webb, with PeterH.on decided to fih and after purlins with Ash, they tra veled on the trail to Saddle Bar creek where Webb, bo It Is claimed, deliberately set fire to dry leaves along the trail for a distance of three miles. The immediate motive was probably to drive the deer from his lde of the ridge to the other where parties were hunting at the time, but back of it was a more probable motive. Webb, with neighbors, had made efforts to have certain lands within the Siskiyou National forest listed as agricultural and opened to entry under the Act of June 11, 1906. Al the lands did not come under the act they could not be listed, owing to the timber values. This action of the forest officers made Webb the enemy to the forest service at once and he severely criticized the actions of the local foreBt officers. Webb was at once suspected when It was learned that he was in the vi cinity on a hunting trip when the fire started and after Borne effort a state ment was obtained from Martin Peterson, who was an eye witness, that Webb had set fires along tho trail. Webb then made affidavit that lie had set the fires as a back fire to protect two small cabins which were in the vicinity, claiming that a fire was already raging. The cab ins were not the property of Webb and were probably of $25 value. The first trial of Webb was on December 28, 1908, in the same court, which resulted In the disagree ment of the Jury, it standing 9 for conviction and 3 for acquittal.
