Jail Kangaroo Court Sentences Nevada Agitator.

TONOPAH, Nevada — But for the intrusion of officers, who rescued him, the attempt of "Long Hair" Johnson, an agitator, to form a soviet among the prisoners in the county jail here, would have resulted in an untimely end for him. Johnson was kangarooed by the prisoners, speedily found guilty and turned over to the crowd for punishment. He is serving ninety days for vagrancy.
