LONG TIME BETWEEN DRINKS
An Indian Whisky Selling Case whiob
Will Prove Intere ting.


Special Dispatch to the Standard.
boise' ldaho, Dec. S.-United State.
District Attorney Forney left to-da,
lor MOSCOW to prosecute several par.
ties for selling liquor to Nez Perce In.
dians. A test case will be made involv.
ing highly interesting point. These
FORMER wards Of the government are
now citizens entitled to the franchise
or enjoying the right of maintainino
actions at law and being themselves
subject to be sued, but the district at
torney insists that "a years must elapse
before they can buy whiskey. To this
the citizen Indians object. A greater
objection, however, comes from liouor
dealers, for with all the restrictions re-
moved traffic with the Indians would
materially increase their receipts. Mr.
Forney claims that rs years must
elapse after the date of the treaty. with
the Indians, whereby they agreed To
accept land in severalty before thew
can lawfully buy whiskey. This. he
says, is a provision of the old treaty
with the Indians. One year has passed
since the treaty was ratified, so the In
dams must forego for "a years longer
the privilege of stepping up to the bar
and exercising the prerogative entoyed
by other classes of citizens.
The saloon keepers believe Mr.. For
ney Is laboring under a misapprehen-
sion OF the law dn the premises and of
the treaty provisions, and have decided
TO make a test.
Inc ract that two remarkably rich
pockets have been discovered and
worked In the Virtue mine near Baker

IN mining circles. From one pocket
10000 in gold was extracted and from
the other $4,000. Ore Shipped to San
Francisco in 50-pound sacks. was fairly
lousy with gold. The gold is worth a
traction more than 1925 an ounce. \

were several rods apart before he hove
