Writing an impassioned account for the Idaho Statesman, Author Fisher said he was taken to jail, told to put his heels together, hold his head back, and close his eyes, to determine if he was drunk, was then locked in a verminous cell while officers examined "love letters from a dozen women" found in his pocket, and his Colt revolver.
