always been accustomed to write out
his first name in full, but he finds that
it will save him about 80 per cent OF
time and trouble to make it simply T..
Roosevelt. Where q man has to sign
his name about 1000 times day it
makes a big difference There is
man in the Office Of the auditor for the

DISTRICT COURT.
Adjournment Was Had After a
Long Session.


Long Session.
The district court adjourned Sat.
urday after prOtracted session
during which two cases coming up
under the 'two-mile-limit law"
were disposed of by jury trial. The
first was the case of Moughmer Va.
Riggs Bros, in which the Jury
awarded the sum of $3.50 and costs
to the plaintiff. The second was
the trial of Swarts vs.. Davis, for
trespass under the same law, and
the jury gave the plaintiff $115 and
costs. 1t is expected that these
cases will go to the supreme court
for final decision.
Several new citizens were adj.
mitted to full citizenship; attorney
McDnffie representing them.
Several attorneys left for Lewis
ton Monday to attend the fall ses
sion of the state supreme court.
Judge Steele will hold another
term of court here in November to
hear several cases in chambers.

from Grangeville was also pushed

JURY FAILED TO AGREE
Trial of Richard Crea at Mt.
Idaho Last Week.

The trial of Richard Crea for the
killing OF Tom Mcleod took place
before Judge Steele and trial jury
in the district court at Mt. Idaho
last week. Some difficulty was
had in getting q jury which was
acceptable to both the prosecution
and defense, but this was finally
accomplished and the case proceed
ed with. No evidence additional
to that heard at the coroner's in
quest was introduced by either
side. The jury retired at 4 O'Clock
in the afternoon and returned to
court in the morning with the an
nouncemcnt that they could not
agree and asked to be discharged
from further consideration of the
case. The judge ordered them to
again retire, and after being out all
day they again reported no agree
ment and they were thereupon dis
charged. 1t is understood they
were seven for conviction on the
charge of manslaughter and five
for acquittal.
Prosecuting Attorney Wallace
N. Scales made what is said to be
the best speech ever heard in a
criminal trial in this county, and
the fact that he secured hung
jury, when everybody who heard
the evidence anticipated an acquit-
tai, speaks volumes for the way in
which he conducted the prosecu.
ton. A new trial will doubtless
be had at the next spring term.
The jurors in the case were: w.
A. Newman, J. +. Smith, Isaac
Chapman, B. p. Quivey, Thomas
Eddy, Charles PEBBLES, John Will
son, Robert Harter, G. M. Butler,
John Powers, N. G. Williams, b.

WATER CONTRACT CASE.
Decision May Be Rendered in
About 60 Days.


The trial OF the case involving
the validity OF the water contract
made by the first board Of trustees
of the village of GrangevilIe with
Orchard Il Jack was heard before
Judge Steele in the district court
last week and was taken under adj
visement by his honor, who may
be expected to render q decision in
about 60 days. Counsel for Mr..
Jack, the owner of the water sys-
tenn, introduced testimony showing
the necessity from q physical, ma.
terial and moral point of view that
the trustees were perfectly justified
in making the contract. Both sides
have agreed to share the cost OF
transcribing the testimony Of the
witnesses and argument Of counsel
for presentation to the supreme
court, for it is a fOregone conclu-
sion that whichever side gets de-
cision from the district Judge it
will be appealed to the supreme
court of the state.
The contract was made under an
old territorial statute which the
present board of village trustees
claims had been invalidated and
superseded by subsequent statutes
enacted by the state legislature
which require water companies TO
furnish free water for fire protec-
ton and other necessary purposes
to village, town and city corpora
tions. Under the contract made
by the first board of village trust
ees they agreed and contracted I'M
der the territorial law to pay the
water company the sum of $1,000
annually for the use of what water
the village required. The present
board refused to issue warrants for
the payment OF the water company
and the present proceedings have
been instituted for the purpose OF
ascertaining which is the right and
which the wrong construction Of
the laws.

The Lewiston land officials assert
that there are large number OF
homestead filings on the reserva-
ton on which no move to make
final proof has been made, although
the seven years Of time between
the filings and making proof has
nearly elapsed. Homesteaders on
the reservation should look into
this matter and protect themselves
or they are likely to lose their
