A FACTORY FOR IDAHO.

Mr.. James Jennings, former secretary
of the Utah Sugar company, and Idaho
parties are interested in 5000 acre
tract of land near Boise, Idaho. They
have built large canal about 40 miles
long which will supply plenty of
water for the land. They think it will
be an excellent district for raising sugar
beets as they say the soil is suitable and
the season is about two weeks ahead of
us. They intend experimenting on a
large scale with the beets this year and
have received shipment of seed from
here, If the experiments are successful
they have the assurance of factory
being built there. Field Supt. Austin
purchased drill for them in Salt Lake
and they have written asking him to
60 up for few days and give the far
ners a few instructions. We shall
watch with interest the endeavors o f
our neighbors on the north.-Lehi,U Utah

Inc MllleOge Family In IfOnble---Maue
Confessions About Burning Fumes and
Wanted to Shoot b. p. ShaWhan In
The Back.
Says the Emmett Index: Justice
court was in session in Emmett last
Saturday, the case entitled, estate of
Idaho VS.. William Milledge, George
Milledge and Alonzo Milledge," being
on for preliminary hearing, the charge
being the cutting of the telephone wire
belonging to P. vi. & w. p. Co. The
two defendants FIRST above named we're
present in court but Alonzo being then
in the county jail awaiting trial on the
charge of burglary, preferred by John
Moulton some two weeks ago, it was
not necessary to bring him over as he
will doubtless be present at the next
session of district court and his case
can then be attended to. w. o. Neral
of Salt Lake, who as stated in the Index
last week, was brought here by Mr..
Shawhan to run down the parties who
have been committing the depredations
against the canal for the past year, was
the complaining witness in the case
and also conducted the examinations
for the state. The two defendants
present entered plea of not guilty,
but attempted no furthur defense.
The prosecution placed about a dozen
witnesses on the stand and while much
of the evidence was circumstantial it
was of such character as to leave no
doubt in the minds of those present
that the defendants were guilty as
charged. One of the most important
witnesses was g. w. Tanner, whose
ranch is near the Milledge place and his
testimony consisted mostly Of admis-
sions made to him by William Milledge
during the past winter, concerning the
blowing up and firing of the company's
fume,s"and cutting the telephone wire
On one occasion, according to Tanners
testimony, Milledge told him that he
did not want to burn the whole llume
down but only wanted to do enough
damage to let the company know they
did not have him scared out. lie also
on different occasions told Tanner that
he would shoot i. P. Shawhan, the
manager of the ditch, in the back if he
got chance and that he would also
shoot George Rinker, the ditch rider
and shove him in badger hole if he
got chance. 1t was also shown by
testimony of JOHN Carter and Mr.. Nor
raj that Alonzo Milledge had, on the
day they took him to Jail at Caldwell,
to them that himself and
father had pulled down the wire ard
broken it on different occasions. The
court bound the defendants over In the
sum of $500 each for their appe arance
at the district court and in de fault of
bail they were, on Monday. lodged in
JAIL"

Reed said he had been sent in from
