Jury Could Not Agree.

Charles Jackson, the well known
merchant and saloon keeper OF Priest
River, was arrested last week by
Sheriff Bradbury on complaint OF
County Attorney Goode, charging
Jackson with selling liquors without
first having procured the necessary
license.
The trial took place on Saturday in
probate court before jury Of twelve
men. The jury after having been out
for five hours came into court and re-
ported it was impossible for them to
reach an agreement. The jury was
discharged and Jackson gave bonds
for his appearance when desired.
Jackson was one of the victims OF the
much lamented Pease, who left
kootenai county last December TAX
ing with him about 81, 900 Of money
that either belonged to the county or
to the saloon keepers who paid it to
him expecting to get saloon licenses
in return. Most all the saloon keepers
Ia the county have taken out new
licenses dating from the second Mon
day in January, and II was to compel
Jackson to do this that an action was
instituted. The district court will
no doubt be called upon To determine
whether it will be the saloon keepers,
the county or Pease's bondsmen that
will be losers 10 the case.

pleasure il ne wants to-
Fourth of July was a beautiful, clear
day. Bright and early in the morning
Lewis cleaned the carryall, which
would hold twelve persons, then he
creased the wheels and ate five of the
largest apples that he could find on
the tree. think l see some of my

greetings aren't ripe on the Fourth,

the boy had eaten them he felt his
muscles and they were so hard that he
cracked pig nuts on them.

chubby young girls and four portly
