county for J ears past has eiicited more in
terest than the case of George r. Drips' Ad-
ministrators against Josiah Brant. The case
was in the form of an action of ejectment
to recover possession of the Glade hotel
property. and certain u lots which had
been sold by Drips to Brant, and mortgaged
by the latter to the former. There was no
dispute as to the sale or mortgage, but Mrs.
Brant, wife of the defendant. produced q
paper purporting to be an assignment 30
her of the mortgage. The Administrators
Of Drips denied the legality Of the paper.
Several witnesses were put on the stand,
who swore they were familiar with the
handwriting of Drips, and identified the
signature to the paper as the signature Of
George Drips. Other witnesses swore to
conversations with Drips, in which he is
said to have promised to fix the mortgage
for ms. Brant.. On cross-examination the
witnesses were shown q number of papers
with signatures purporting to be the sigma
ture of George r. Drips, and all, without
hesitancy, picked out a signature which
they declared to be that of Drips. Later in
the case an expert was nut ON the stand
who proved conclusivelv that the paper so
identified by them had been written by
himself a day before. Considerable ampsc-
ment wa caused by exposing the fact that
the counsel for Brant had been passing
around the bogus paper, prepared by the
expert, surprising it to be the original
paper. -
The plaintiffs produced q number of let
tiers from Brant TO Drips, which it was
claimed acknowledged the Indebtedness.
The case was called on Friday, and the evi.
dence was not all in until about Q o'clock
Saturday night. The entire day Monday
was taken up by hearing the arguments Of
counsel; this Tuesday morning the charbe
of the court was delivered to the jury. and
up to the time Of going to press no verdict
has been returned.

truth is that the men who have been at

been withdrawn farther west, and no rail
road votes can be smuggled in at the cleo
ton as was expected. Willard in his
generosity ought 10 loan Moscow the use
OF about 400 votes to help the berg out

how the telegraph poles were handled
and the bill for damages for opening a
certain road was asked from the County
Commissioners and therefore is some

derive from such a coarse. They are
sending all the missionaries north, loaded
with the illustrated edition and list of
names to guarantee the bonds to build

so willing to bond for 81 200 for the
county buildings. They say we don't
propose to pay only what the Lewiston

we have as much right to value the bug
ranch as any person in the county, and

REMOVAL
OF
COUNTY SEAT.

In voting upon the question, the tax payers
Of the county should lear in mind that in 1882
the County Commissioners, in behalf of the
county. entered into a Contract with Conrad
Wintsch. whereby said Wintsch agreed and
gave bonds in the sum of $4,000 to furnish the
county with a court house AMI rooms for the
officers, for the term Of six years, at n rental
of S725 per annum. which said contract has
now five years to run. Now we wish it to be
distinctly understood, that whether said build
ings are occupied not the said rent must be
paid for the whole time of five years, as Mr..
Wintsch did not agree to furnish said buildings
at any other place than at Lewiston, Therefore
the property holders will be taxed to pay this
rent until the lease expires. and by tho remov-
al Of the county scat At Moscow will not make
any difference with Mr. Wintsch the rent must
ne paid. JASPER RAND,
Attorney for Conrad Wintsch.
The Moscow men say we will abandon the
buildings i'll Lewiston aud save the 1925
rent The citizens must not forget that the
county is under bonds to pay that rent for
the full tenn OF SIX years from date OF con-
tract and if the county violates the contract
the tax payers will have to pay the full
amount of the value Of and take the property
and Moscow might be willing to violate the
contract with Conrad, who sold the property
to the county, but the county cannot do SO
unless they pay the forfeiture Of the bond.

peddhng McConnelfs illustrated county
buildings and approaches to Lewiston and
exerting himself for Moscow. Bat that he
is meeting with rebuff from the people in
his own neighbo. hood and being run dry IN
his own crowd 1t is well known here that he
claimed here before election that he was in
favor of no changes in The county till after
annexation, that when he returned from
Boise that he said the reason why he made
no more exertion in favor of the annexation
memorial was that he aud the others found
1t was useless to do so and therefore they
submitted to an indefinite postponcnent of
the memorial, and went for the removal of
the county seat bill. 1t is well known that
he met the Moscow representatives at Mos
cow before election to make up a programme
of action when they arrived at Boise. and
that w. $. Taylor was the chief fugleman
at that meeting Each and every Develop
ment since made has shown that it was the
agreed purpose Of the men at that meeting,
that, if necessary, they would sacrifice every.
thing else TO relocation.

would give bonds to build wagon road

they would build the county buildings at
