A. NJ, struck an obstacle on the track
about four miles west of here, and
narrowly escaped being ditched. A

Smith, who was beating his way on a
freight train. had been put of, and
to 'sget even" with the railway COM
pany had placed hand car and tie
on the track just as No. Z was about
due. The matter was reported to
the railway agent at Caldwell and a
couple of deputy sheriHs were imme-
dia,ely started in pursuit A light

wards Hunter, then be Eigzaged
around over the plains and had gone

BLAoKFoor News: An important
suit has recently been fled in the
United States Court at Boise by
bondholders of old Alturas county
bonds for accumulated interest
amounting to s3l, 900. Alturas county
allowed the interest on its bonds to
90 bv default because of the cutting
off of Logan and Elmore from her
territory. The result of this suit will
be watched by every county in the
State, as it may have bearing upon
all efforts to float county bonds in the

In suit brought by The Journal
company, of Montana, against State
Treasurer Hickman, to recover inter
est on State warrants, the Supreme
Court decided in favor of the CON-
pany. The opinion says that the in
terest on all warrants must be paid
from time of signature by the audi
tor. 1t is very probable that if test
case were made in Idaho the Su-
preme Conr. would render the same
decision. Just why interest does not
begin until the warrants are present
ed and registered is thing that can
not be satisfactorily explained. A
warrant is an evidence of debt and
interest ought to begin as soon as it
is drawn, whether it is presented to
the Treasurer or not. Many holders
of warrants do not know that they
draw no interest if not presented for
payment, and the information in
scribed thereon by the Treasurer
"presented and not paid for want of
funds The warrant draws interest
from the date of presentation. If
not presented the holder is deprived
of the interest that ought to be his.
Of course if there is money in the
Treasury for their payment and the
warrants are not presented, no inter-
est should accrue. Whenever there
is money for the payment of warrants,
those to be paid are advertised, and
interest ceases on the date the adyer-
tisement appears, which is all correct
enough, but they ought to draw in-
terest from the date of issue until
there is money in the Treasury for
their payment and the Treasurer SO
advertises.

On Sunday last Doctors Dubois
and Sweet amputated the right arm
of Lawrence Smith, the old-tlme
teamster. About two months ago.
at Ruby gulcb, loaded wagon ran
over the arm and terribly crushed 1t.
The doctors did all they could to save
the arm, Smith being poor and
needy man, but they finally conclud-
ed that it would be better to remove
the useless member. Smith was
placed under the influence of an
anasthetic, and DR.. Sweet performed
a very clever operation, in the short
time of twelve minutes. Smith Is Co

THE CREDIT Iss,sQNESS.

This is an evil to be dcplored in the land.
Those who 60 into it, both debtors and
creditors, are running more of chance
game than the old time seven up. The
courts are established in tho gravity of JUS
tice and tue splendor of expense to give
Judgment and lssuc execution commanding
the property of the defendant to be sold
Right at this critical moment, the courts
and ths law adroitly tack, take The side of
the defendant and stand as body guard
betwi&t him aud the judgment so solcmnly
rendered. When the dazcd and amazed
creditor wants 10 know how this is, the
sa" as gravely tells him, the defendant
must have his homestead rights, his wife
and children must have home. The poor
creditor says ''my wife and children have
no home and want this debt 10 appcase
hunger" The law says: "Wcu # von
had one would be with YOU. | cannot
help creditors unless they provide then
selves with lions and mortgages, 40 tbev
will not need my help. Then ] run In and
