Automobiles may supersede horses

can. investigations as to the merits OF
the different automobile machines are
being made by the heads Of the depart
ment and negotiations are now pending
with one Of the leading manufacturers
with the view of their immediate intro
duction in the city. The principal rel-
sons for the proposed change are utility
and economy.
Chief Roberts Of the Fire Department
has figured out that the actual saving
to the city by the introduction Of the
automobile will be in the neighborhood
Of $4,000 per year. He bases his state.
ment on these facts: There is one horse
used on each of the four light buggies.
The hose wagons have two horses each.
This makes a total OF twenty-eight
horses which win not be needed. Ii
costs the city for each horse $3.50 per
month. or $3.302 per year for the twen-
ty-eight. Added TO this is the salary

They WERE BOUND OVER
Earles and Edwards Must Stand
a Trial.
WILL BE SENT TO HELENA
Bail Has Been Fixed at 81 900 Each = I,
Is Possible That Habeas Corpus
Proceedings Will Be
Instituted.

Earles and Edwards, whose side of
the case was heard Monday by United
States Commissioner Wood, were yes
terday bound over to the district court
of the Northern district of Idaho, in
the sum of $1,000. According to the
process the defendants are to be de-
tanned in the Lewis and Clarke county
Jail pending orders from Judge Knowles
Of the federal court. In deciding the
case yesterday, Commissioner Wood
said in part:
From the evidence in this case, it
does not appear possible that these de-
PENDANTS could have committed the
crime alleged in the first count of this
indictment, and l am of the opinion
they established an albi. AS to the
second count in the indictment, no evil
dence was produced, and while it is not
in my province to pass upon the guilt
or innocence of the defendants, John
S. Earles and Erwin Edwards, it is my
duty to determine whether they are
probably two of the defendants named
in this Indictment
From the evidence, I am satisfied
crime has been committed as charged
in the complaint, and there is proba BILE
cause to believe the defendants to be
two of the parties named in the indict-
ment. 1t is therefore ordered that each
of them be required to give bonds in
the sum of 800 for their appearance
in the United States district court of
the Northern district of Idaho at the
next general term, and in default to
be committed to the county Jail of
Lewis and Clarke county. Montana.
until discharged by due process of
law"
Peter Breen, one of the attorneys for
the defendants, protested, contending
that the bonds were too high. Commits
sioner Wood subsequently reduced the
bonds to $1,000 EACH Attorney Breen
the Silver Bow county Jail instead of
the Lewis and Clarke county jail,
claiming that it would be of great
benefit to the men if they should be
near their attorneys and more con-
venient all around.
The commissioner said that as the
United States court was sitting in Hell
ena. there is the place for the prisoners
and he would not change his mind on
that point. 1t is more than probable
that the defendants attorneys will in
stitute habeas corpus proceedings in
the event of a failure to secure the
bonds. Messrs. Breen and Mackle are
attorneys for the defendants.
Governor Steunenherg of Idaho was
in Spokane the other day and, accord
ing to the Chronicle of that city, he is

of affairs in the troubled district. He

BURT MARSH ON TRIAL
All the Evidence in the Case
Presented.
IS READY FOR ARGUMENT
Details of the Hearing Resumed Before
Justice Nichols The Testi-
mony Presented by the
Defense.

The preliminary hearing of Burt
Marsh. the lawyer who is accused of
fimhamming Thomas Jones, a client,
was resumed in Justice Nichols court
yesterday afternoon.
The taking of testimony was finished
and ar adjournment taken to this
morning to hear the arguments of
counsel, after which the courts decision
discharging or binding over the de-
PENDANT will be given.
1t will be remembered that at the
previous session of the hearing, held
last week, the state introduced testi-
mony to show that Thomas Jones en-
ployed Marsh to institute damage suit
against Evan Fisher for 5000; that the
suit was brought and subsequently
compromised; that Marsh represented
to Jones that he compromised with
Fisher for 500. turning over $50 to
Jones and retaining the balance for his
fees, and that it later transpired Fisher
had paid Marsh the full 5000 sued for.
Upon these allegations the prosecution
the defendant.
The defense set up was that Marsh
had compromised the suit for $3.50; that
his agreement with Jones when he be-
gan the suit against Fisher was that
he was to have half of whatever Re
recovered from Fisher and that in ac-
cordance with this agreement Marsh
paid Jones SIS A receipt for SIS run
ming from Jones to Marsh was intro
duced in evidence by the defense. the
signature to which Jones repudiated.
An important point in the case hinged
upon scene which transpired in the
court of Justice Bliss at South Butte.
One O'Donnell was on trial for public
offense and Marsh was defending him.
This was on May II, subsequent to the
settlement of the case against Fisher.
The wife Of Jones appeared in the court
room and accused Marsh of having re-
ceived 5000 from Fisher and of having
beaten her husband in the settlement
with him. At the previous session of
the hearing Marsh testified in his own
behalf and denied that during the
scene in Judge Bliss court he had told
Mrs. Jones he only got 500 from Fisher
and had settled with her husband for
$50. Marsh's witnesses all testified also
that Marsh paid Jones SIS in settling
with him. All the direct testimony was
taken at the first session of the hear
ing and that yesterday was in rebuff
tai
When the hearing was resumed, Dep
uty Prosecuting Attorney Alley, who is
conducting the case for the state, called
Justice of the Peace Bliss to the stand.
He told of the scene in his court room
during the O'Donnell trial and said
Mrs. Jones came in and accused Marsh
of having received from Fisher 5000.
She made a very noisy demonstration
and told Marsh he would have to pro-
