Early day lawyer lands in jail, all cause of accident
One of the first lawyers to practice law in Edmunds County had an experience behind bars in 1890, purely by accident and was released after considerable shouting.
The Edmunds County Democrat of Feb. 8 of that year reports:
“A.F. Stowe, in company with several others called at the jail to see the insane Russian, while there Stowe spied his client Buckner, and soon they were engaged in conversation and did not notice the turnkey and the other visitors departure. All were shortly afterwards startled by the yells and shouts coming from the jail. Hurrying there the turnkey found, not the crazy man, but Stowe, threatened to tear down the iron doors.
