The deputies were escorting several farm strikers into the courthouse to face trial for unlawful assembly. Sixty six strikers were set to face trial and over 100 special deputies were called into service to prevent additional civil unrest.
Deputy Dail had served with the Pottawattamie County Sheriff's Department for only three days.
