has been felt for long time at head
quarters, which have been badly
cramped for room. necessitating the
stationing of the truck at. another
place, the chiefs buggy in an impro-

difficulties will be obviated and head
quarters become what they have not
been in the past, a proper central sta

THE FINANCIAL MIDDLE.
Interest Taken in the Action
Brought by County Attorney We
Der.

The publication by The Herald of
the fact that County Attorney Weber
had of his own accord yesterday begun
suit for an injunction TO restrain
Treasurer Boyle from paying the S10.-
600 warrant of the Commercial Ma
tional bank was the talk of the town
yesterday All along it has been
claimed by friends of the commissioners
that Weber had advised the board to
make the loan but the beginning of
the suit rather annihilated that claim.
Mr.. Boyle said the. matter had not
been brought TO his attention but he
had been looking for the filing of the
suit Mr.. Weber was averse to talking
of the case for publication but said
the advice he had given the board was
in the clerks Office on file as his writ
ten opinions. This is equivalent to say
ing that he had never advised them
that the loan was legally made. How
ever, that is a matter which the at
torneys for the banks should have
looked out for. Many citizens look at
the matter thus: The commissioners
borrowed, illegally not only that
amount. but $50. 500 more. They scent
or misspent-that money for the
county. The county ought to pay it"

Boise. IGa.. Dec. &c. w. Cooper
arrived from Caldwell yesterday.
When asked about his senatorial candi-
dacy. he said he was in here to remain
till the matter is settled, but declined
TO make any statement of his prospec-
tive strength.
OF the Il fusion members of the leg
islature. % are Populists. 1t is said
that Judge w. H. Claggett claims IS
of these. Mr.. Cooper said he had been
informed that Ed Boyce. president of
the Miners federation. had written
letter to some one here, stating, posi-
lively. that he would not enter contest.
If this is true. it viii somewhat sim
plify matters as Boyce win undoubtedly
have considerable following if he
comes into the field.

break jail at the city bastiIe one night
last week, were tried in Justice
Wenger's court yesterday for ma
liciously destroying real property
There were three in all and three were
convicted and sentenced TO serve from
20 days to five months in addition TO
the terms they are now serving
Those convicted were James Stabers,
alias Glendinning and several other
aliases, who was given five months in
the county jail; Jake Cleary. who got
40 days, and Thomas Clifford, who was
given 20 days Jack Munroe and
Daniel Burke, the other prisoners ac-
cused. were acquitted.
The prisoners had been arraigned the
day before and demanded a jury trial
Fer this reason the case was postponed
till yesterday. The jury called was
composed of George P Brice. N A
Reiser, W. o. Bridgeman and A. F.
Angel.
The prisoners all denied any knowl-
edge of the attempted Jail break. and
went into elaborate details of how it
occurred that they were all engaged in
singing at the tops of their voices just
on that particular night. and yet knew
nothing about any such attempt being
made There was not evidence enough
against two of them to convict, but the
jury was not long in finding against the
other three. Stabers was adjudged the
arch conspirator. and for that reason
got the heaviest sentence. The others
were only considered as being willing
to be in on the play.
