County Division.

AS minated in these columns
heretofore, county division will be-
come a very live issue this winter.
The following from the Ceur DIAL
enc Journal serves to show what
steps are being taken in order to
accomplish division:
"a meeting of the committee on
county division was held at the
Office of McClear & Burgan Monday
evening to listen to the report of
the committee of attorneys, Messrs.
Goode, Burgan and Whitla who
had been appointed to look up the
law and report upon the legality
of the proposed measure.
Mr.. Burgan, of the committee
reported that he had gone into the
matter Thoroughly and had con-
suited with his colleagues on the
committee who concurred with him
in the opinion that there was no
question but what bill abrOgat-
ing the county of Kootenai and
creating two new counties out of
the territory comprising what is
now Kootenai county would be
perfectly legal and would stand the
test of the courts. He also stated
that it would be perfectly legal for
the legislature to divide the present
county of Kootenai creating a new
county in either end. He reported
that in either case the legislature
had the power to designate the
county seat in each of the counties.
1t was thought by the committee
that the moet feasible plan was to
abrogate Kootenai County and
create two new counties and it was
suggested that they be named Lewis
and Clark respectively. 1t was also
decided to send Mr.. Burgan to
Standpoint to consult with the peo-
pie there and he was instructed to
inform them that the people here
would insist upon measure
embracing one or the other of the
two plans outlined above or else
they would drop the whole matter.
1t was decided by the committee
to call a public meeting OF the bus
mess men and property owners OF
the city for next Tuesday evening
at McClear & Burgan's office at
half past seven at which time Mr.
Burgan is to report the outcome oi
his meeting with the people OF
Standpoint.
This question of county division
and whether Ceur d'Alene should
have county seat is of the utmost
Importance to every business man
and property owner in the city and
every one of them should turn out
to the meeting and, if it is decided
to push the matter at this session
be prepared to give it the necessary
support"

Father PurceII,s vindlcation.

ratner furCeIl'S VinolCauon,
The Supreme court of Idaho has
been called upon during the past
year to pass upon a number of
questions of sensational interest to
Kootenai county. Not the least of
these was the appeal of Father I.
j. Purcell, the well-known Catholic
priest, to collect for money expend-
ed in prosecuting his case in rela-
tiou to the guardianship of the
Brady children. The supreme court
recently handed down a decision
reversing the district court and
allowing him the fees for which he
invoked the aid of the courts.
This decision recalls tragedy
which occurred in 1901 and sensa-
tional events which followed.
1t was one evening in July of
the year 1901. John Z. Brady was
probate Judge of Kootenai County.
He was sitting in his office at
Rathdrum writing when there en-
tered the room one Wilhumbussy
who drew a gun and fired at Brady,
intiicting a wound from which he
died about a week later. Wilhum-
busy had been adjudged insane
by the judge year previous, but
had taken French leave at the
asylum and returned to his home,
and having acted rational to a
safe degree had been allowed to
remain at his ranch. When Will
humbussy was taken to Blackfoot,
it was claimed that there was on
the ranch work horses and cattle
and farm machinery and grain to
the value of no small sum. All
these had disappeared. AT the time
of his incarceration, Wilhumbussy
also claimed to have several hun
dred dollars in cash secreted on the
premises. This also was missing,
according to his story. These cir
cumstances preyed upon his un-
sound mind and he craved revenge.
He sought it against the man who
committed him to the asylum. He
was afterwards captured, tried, con-
victed and sentenced to a long term
in the penitentiary.
But the scene shifts to no less
sensational circumstances. Judge
Brady, upon his death bed, made
will in which he made Father T.
j. Purcell the guardian of his two
small children, who were to inherit
his life insurance amounting to
$4,000. This guardianship was con-
tested by Frank Pine, of Iowa, an
uncle of the children. Brady's COT
fin was hardly covered with the
clay before there was one of the
worst mix-ups ever witnessed in
Kootenai county, politics and reh-
gion superceding law. In some
surreptitious manner Pine was able
to take the children out of the state
and remove them to Iowa. 1t has
been claimed that the officials of
Kootenai county aided in this sur
reptitious removal. There was also
clash between Protestants and
Catholics. Father Purcell took the
matter into the courts. The machin-
cry of government was decidedly
against him. He lost in the Pro-
bate, District, and finally in the
Supreme court. The case rested
for while and then he brought
suit for expenses incurred, includ-
ing attorney fees, court expenses
and personal expenses. He again
met with defeat in the Probate

to swell the output of Southern Ore

rights and the hydraulic operators
can complain Of nothing worse than
an over abundance of water.
While there have been few times
during the month, when the wind
blew with more vigor and chilliness
than was absolutely pleasant, and a
few times when the falling rain was
mixed with very wet snow which
melted as it fell, the weather in
general has been warm aud not un-
pleasant in spite of the almost contin-
