Decision which Saves Latah County

Boise, April 4.-The supreme court
decided the case of Il. NJ. Conger VS.
the Latah commissioners, Judge Piper
being reversed. The members of the
board had individually asked w. H.
Clagett to assist the prosecution in the
Williams embezzlement case and he
was given warrant for $3.50 for his
services. Conger appealed from the ac-
ton of the board and Judge Piper sus-
tanned the latter. The supreme court
holds that i'm such a case the commits
sioners must act as a body, their action
being made a matter of record. The
issuance of the warrant was therefore
illegal.
In the case of John Jacksha VS. A. F.

Piper's action in granting "A new trial
was sustained.
The decision of the lower court was

CoVETs BIG HORN HOT SPRINGS
WyOmfng Desires the Govern m e
to Buy From Indians.

Washing ton. April Am effort is be-
ing made by Representative Mandell OF
wyoming TO have the Big Horn hot
springs on the Shoshone Indian reserva-
ton in Fremont county, Wyoming. pur-
chased by the government and held as
public reservation as the hot springs
of Arkansas are. Indian Inspector Me-
Laughlin has been sent by the interior
department to negotiate with the In
dians for cession of the springs and a
tract of 10 miles square surrounding
them. 1t is not proposed TO pay all the
purchase money by one appropria ton.
but to place most of ii to the credit of
the Indians, to be paid from the treas
ury in installments.
The Big Horn springs are said to pos
sess remarka BILE medicinal qualities and
are scientifically called sulphur saline
springs. They are near the Big Horn
river. with snow-capped mountains on
either side. and empty into the river in
picturesque cascades 1t Is the govern
ment's policy, Mr.. Mandell says. to
gradually reduce the Indian reserva-
tons. as the land is not needed by the
Indians. and ii is believed that the
springs can be acquired now more
cheaply than when they have become
better known. He is confident that the
springs would become a resort and be
source of revenue to the government
from rentals If they We're managed as
the Arkansas hot springs have been.
