Another expensive suit for tax

fore Justice Swan for the past week.
1t is the case of the State We Robt.
Dunsmore and Ed Kurtz for unlaw-
full catching of sturgeon in Snake
river. G. III. Rinehart is the inform
ant and G. f. Corker is his attorney
to prosecute the case. Mr.. Wolfe,
attorney for the defendants called
for a jury trial where. upon the fol-
lowing named gentlemen were sworn
to try the case: Frank McWilliams,
J. Rudisell, Jas. Loveland, Harry
Willis, G. t. Rhorer, VIM. Blunt,
J. f. Dyar, w. G. Reynolds, S. M.
Bane, VIM. Kunnecks, J. M. Coon
and Chas, Turner. After the TAX
ing Of evidence pro and con and ar
gument by the attorneys, the case
went to the jury that evening. They
remained out all night and failed
to agree-standing 9 for acquittal
and 3 for conviction, which WAS q
surprise to the public, for nine
tenths of our people, knowing the
motives for the prosecution, sup
posed the jury would be unanimous
for acquittal. Another trial was
ordered for Monday, aud another
jury was empanneled consisting Of
Jack Harris, Mute Nichols, Perry
Sprowle, G. w. Smith, Nelse Davis,
M. L. Davis, John Holland, Charles
Ross, Fred Liljegran, George Litz,
Hugh Riley and Sam Galloway
The same witnesses repeated their
testimony, but the remarks of law
yer Wolfe were little more pointed
and caustic toward the prosecutors
than those he uttered at the previ
Gus trial. The case was submitted
to the jury yesterday afternoon anC
after being out not over 10 minutes
they returned with a unanimous yer
dict Of acquittal. Is it not higf
time that taxpayers should call {
halt in such selfish proceedings?
