An Important Decision.

The supreme court of Idaho has de-
cided some important questions in Yer
mont Loan & Trust Co. vs. Hoffman
The point was made that the company
should have paid a license for to en-
gage in the busines, of loaning money
and that as it is made Il misdemeanOr
to engage in the business without II
license the note and mortgage would
be void because taken in violation of
law.
The court holds that any person to
engage in the business of loaning
money "must obtain Il license and II
he carries on such business without
paying the license tax and obtaining
the license he is guilty of misde-
meanor" and 1.-The assessor and col
lector may direct snit = and recover
the license tax imposed by statute to-
gether with 20 dollars damages
The court further say that "frOm q

they think "that the better class OF
authorities" are to the effect that sucl
failure to procure license does not
render the note and mortgage sued
upon illegal aud void: that though
there was "a fraud upon the public
revenue" there Was no injury to the

The BODY of Tom Arum, drowned in
the Clearwater a few weeks since, was
discovered at Collins landing just
above the Cascade locks last week by
one of the rivermen employed there.

iion of the missing man, and his

tween Grangeville and Stevenson dis
closed the fact that the body is beyond
doubt that of Tom Aram. The height

was attached Il strap and buckle spur
with chain running under the heel.
