CANYON COUNTY BONDS.
An Interesting Ease Passed Upon by
Idnho's supreme Court.

Idaho's supreme Court.
Special Dispatch TO the Standard.
Boise. Idaho. July In the case OF
w. c. Dunbar versus the board OF coun-
" commissioners of Canyon county, the
supreme court has rendered decision
reversing the lower court and remand
ing the case for further proceedings
This Is case growing out OF a proposed
issue of bonds by Canyon county To the
amount of ti6.ii5.20 for funding war
rants issued during 1894 and 1895 The
bonds were sold to Roberts Brothers of
Spokane and this suit was brought to
determine their validity. A demurrer
was presented by District Attorney
Hayes. for the commissioners, setting
up that the complaint did not set forth
facts constituting a cause of action.
The demurrer was sustained and from
this judgment the appeal was taken.
The question involved In the litigation
Is one that has been before the court In
other cases--that OF the right Of the
commissioners to issue warrants In ex-
cess of the revenues. Among the war
rants proposed to be funded were a
number aggregating sls.i9t for bridges
at Caldwell and Parma. and others is
sued for rabbit scalps To the amount OF
t3 1857. AS this indebtedness had been
created without having been authorized
by the people at an election. and as the
expenditure was held not to be ordinary
and necessary. IL was claimed that the
warrants were void. The supreme
court does not directly pass on the va
lldity of the warrants. but Il finds that
the complaint did set forth facts con-
stituting a cause Of action and that the
demurrer should have been overruled.
The demurrer" the opinion says. con
fesses the fact that the commissioners
of Canyon county failed To make pro-
vision for paying the principal and in
torest of the alleged Indebtedness. as
required by the constitution. For this
reason. II for no other. the demurrer
should have been overruled."
The diCtum of the opinion indicates
/ that the bridge and scalp warrants are
/ both invalid.

THREE HANGING OYER 4 RIVER.
Tho Adventure Mr.. Stones Children Met while
Boating on the Passnic.

PATERSON. \. j., Aug. ~26.-Henry Stone, a we'll
known resident OF Paterson, went with his wife
and three young daughters to spend II few hours
in the cottage OF the Ryle Park Club. u few
miles up the Passaic River, yesterday afternoon.
While Mr.. and Mrs. Stone were in the cottage
the children went down TO the river and got
into Ia small rowboat which was tied to an over
hanging tree. One OF girls loosened the rope
which held the boat and the current carried it
down the stream. The three children grasped
the low limbs OF the tree and were dragged from
the boat and left hanging over the stream.
The cries of the children brought their father.
When he reached the bank the trees and shrub
berry prevented him from seeing his children.
but he saw the empty boat drifting down the
river. He jumped into the water and swan out.
When he got to the middle Of the stream he cav
the three children hanging to the bough. Their
cries were growing weaker. They were carried
ashore by their father. The third child dropped
from the bough before the father reached it, and
sank almost TO the bottom of the stream before
he was able TO grasp her dress.
