In 1876, Will Warriner, age 21, left for the Idaho Territory to join his uncle, B. Leonard Warriner, a Hawley, Mass. native and "California Forty-Niner" who moved in 1862 from Trinity County, California, to the Boise Basin, Idaho Territory, where gold had been recently discovered.
Will Warriner was not as sucessful as his Uncle in business endeavors and spent his last several years in Idaho as a prisoner in the State Penitentiary for committing the crime of arson in Garden Valley, Idaho, where he resided. Sentenced to 10 years he was given credit for good behavior amounting to 3 years and 9 months and was released February 22, 1896, just a few days shy of his 41st birthday. He returned East in July 1897 after an absence of 21 years. He married in January 1899 and spent the reminder of his life as a quiet and well-liked gentleman.
