Nov. 21, 1917 — DENEKE TO SPOKANE
The United States Marshal for north Idaho last week took Wm. Deneke to Spokane where he was turned over to federal authorities. Deneke was arrested here some months ago charged with criminal syndicalism and other I.W.W. activities, yet his case never got to trial. While he was confined in the county jail, it was learned he had been an active pro-German worker and had served in the Imperial German navy. He more than likely will be transferred to Ft. Douglas, Utah, for the duration of the war as an alien enemy.
