Billy Smith Was In Jail Six Months. Lib.
Grated and Again Arrested.

Lewiston, Idaho. April 20.-Billy
Smith, who has been confined In Jail
since last October on charge of cat
tie stealing, was acquitted by the jury
this morning. Billy is a reservation
half-breed and he was charged with
rather extensive operations in stolen
stock. 1t turns out that he was to
some extent made tool of by certain
white men and was perhaps more sinned
against than SHINING, If the case is con-
sidered from the beginning. He was
rearrested, however, on separate
charge of stealing a steer. The condi-
tions surrounding this case are identi-
cal with those in the case which he has
just beaten.
S. s. Leachman is on trial today. The
regular panel of talesmen was exhaust
ed without securing one juryman A
special venire is out and the slow work
of finding qualified peers will proceed
after the noon recess. Leachman is the
man who assaulted Dick McElroy for

OUT COLLECTING.

England VIII Now Make q Descent ON
Honduras.
WASHINGTON, April 30.-Great Brit
ain has decided to send her bad debt
collecting squadron to Honduras. It is
said she has so notified the financial
representatives of that country. The
notification goes on to state that Great
Britain will take possession of certain
ports in Honduras and collect the rev.
enues until the amount of her indebted
ness to the English bondholders is
liquidated. Nearly 20 years ago Hon
duras defau1ted on bonds placed in Eng
land, and the interest has since been
accommodating until, at the present
time, between $4,000, 900 and $4,000, 900
is due.
This information, which was received
here through private source in Lon
don, has caused something of a sensa-
ton among the few who know it. The
collection of such large debt from
Honduras, people familiar with affairs
in that country, state is impossible,
and if the British act in accordance
with the threat, which is said on high
authority to have been made, it will
amount, as in Egypt, to perpetual
occupation of that nation.
