REMOVE COUNTY OFFICERS
Judge Stewart Scores the Sheriff and
Commissioners Of Sh0Sh0ne
County.

In the removal cases tried at
Wallace Judge Stewart found
that the commissioners were
guilty of wilful misconduct in
allowing bills to the sheriff in
excess of lawful fees, in allow
ing percentage for collecting
license money, in issuing
county licenses without appli.
cation or bonds, in approving
the bonds of county officers
without sufficient sureties, and
in failing to take action when
notified of the probable de
struction of property at Ward
ner. For these he held then
guilty of neglect sufficient te
justify removal.
In the case of the sheriff, hi
said "the defendant, by hi
own testimony, has convicted
himself of the most f1agran
violations of official duty"
The defense gave notice c

The Man Who Drinks.

The business world recog-
,lzes that no man who drinks
is as good as he would be if he
never drank. Time was when
in certain lines of business it
was considered necessary to
drink. Quite the contrary is
the case now. Even saloon
men prefer barkeepers who do
not drink the liquids they sell.
All the fairy tales about the
great things people do when
Under the influence of liquor
have been exploded. The ora
tor who must be intoxicated in
order to make speech is no
longer here, and he has never

cannot plead case or cite an

MANAGER HUNTLEY TALKS
Thinks Grangeville the Center
OF a Little Inland Empire.


OF a Little Inland Empire.
LDeLamar Nugget
Manager Huntley returned
home Saturday from his six
weeks trip through Central
Idaho, and says that his trip
was quite unsatisfactory SO far
as seeing the Buffalo Hump,
Mallick district and other min.
ing sections which he wished
to visit. He did not get to the
mining prospects on Salmon
river at all. He tried to get
there but heard of so many
pack horses lying below the
trails that he decided to defer
that trip until later and turned
back. He got to the Buffalo
Hump by doing a good deal OF
walking, and was then able to
see very little except snow, and
was not able to give the min
ing prospects any satisfactory
inspection. What he did see,
however, impressed him thai
there would be one or more
camps in the Hump region, al
though they might be of slow
growth.
He says that Grangeville i

Snowslide Swallowed Them.
Word has reached this Office

Mile diggings, northeast of the
Hump, June 23rd. They started
on a prospecting trip with the in
tention of being gone two days.
They have now been gone three
weeks without anything having
been heard of them. Efforts have
been made to trace their where
abouts but without success up tC
date.
The following description is giver
of the missing miners: Charles Free
age 20, light complexion, foot
inches tall; c. II. Cotes, age 30
dark, 5 foot S inches, and wor'
