Health Conditions,

The recent report regarding
the smallpox cases in Idaho
may possibly give outsiders
the impression that the condi-
ton is more serious than it
really is. The facts are, there
is only one case, and this is an
importation and has been con.
fined since its incipient stage
to a remote and isolated local.
ity. No alarm is felt by the
residents, although proper pre-.
cautions should not be neglect.
ed and all modern methods to
prevent the spread of the dis
ease, should be adopted. Vac,
cination is an accepted specif-
ic. The entire absence of
that much.more.to.be. dreaded
but little thought of disease,
typhoid, and kindred fevers,
should be a cause for general
thanksgiving and can be
traced directly to the present
abundant supply OF pure water
as compared with our former
deplorable condition. Grange.
vile is now as healthy a town
as there is in the state.

Arley Beck, who was re
Gently arrested as told in
the Press, charged with the
crime of cattle-stealing, on the
complaint of ]. G. Rowton,

fore Judge Hartman for his
preliminary hearing. County
Attorney Scales appeared for

tended the prisoner. Sheriff
Mclean brought the accused
down from Mt. Idaho at 10
o'clock. The specific crime
with which the defendant is
charged is having stolen a
cow from one Baker Ball.
The courtroom was filled with
cattlemen of all sorts and con.
ditions, from the bloated ow-
ner of large heards to the en-
bryo cow-puncher. Beck is
a young man evidently just
about of age and hardly looks
like one given to taking any
thing whice does not belong
to him.
AT 1890 the county attor'

examination.
Redirect by Scales: "There
were white spots on the hide about

Rowton's brand; it is IL"
After an objective argument last
ing probably Is minutes the Court
decided that the witness could an
swer, which he did as above, only
adding: "He brands on left hip
II, also IL on left jaw. His mark
is under-bit in right ear.'

marks all his cattle that way, an
far as l know; all I have helped

j. G. Rowton was the following
witness, who after saying that his
age was - years, occupation that
of rancher and farmer, residence

testified: 81 heard the testimony
of Frank A. Miller and VIM. Nc

ed as a red COW and branded and
marked II on the jaw and II on
the right hip and under-bit on right
ear, on the night of October 18th
and it belonged on that date to
me-" Mr.. Ailshie refused to cross
examine.
At this point the State rested its
case and the defense moved that
the cause be dismissed az the facts
and evidence failed to show the
commission of a public Offense by
this defendant. Mr.. Ailshie then
addressed the Court in % speech,
going over the cardinal points of
the case. After he concluded Mr..
Scales addressed the Court in q
short, succinct argument, showing
how complete and perfect case
the evidence adduced showed. Mr..
Ailshie again briefly addressed the
Court, citing law points. The
judge then said: "This has been q
fair and impartial trial and al
though the Court would have liked
to have seen the facts brought out
more satisfactorily, I will merely
say that meagre as they are, the
Court feels that it is incumbent on
him to bind the defendant over for
his trial"
Mr.. Ailshie then argued for a re-
duction Of the bond, but the Court
deemed the bond under which the
prisoner was formerly, $1,000, little
enough, SO the bond remained the
same.
