Bates Acquitted.

The case of the State of Idaho
against Thomas Bates is attracting
the attention Of quite large num-
Der of Our people. A short time
ago one Charles H. Foster, a resi-
dent Of Teton Basin, made and filed
a complaint i'll the Probate court
charging Mr.. Bates with the larceny
Of two sheep. Not having tinre to
prepare his defense and secure the
attendance Of his witnesses, Nh.
Bates was unable and therefore
made no defense at the preliminary
examination, and he was held to
answer the charge made against
him by Foster.
The charge against NIr. Bates
grew out OF a dispute as to the
ownership Of two sheep Foster
claimed the sheep belonged to him
and Mr.. Bates claimed the sheep
were his property, and would not
permit Foster to take the sheep out
OF his herd. Mr.. Bates arrest
followed upon the above mentioned
charge.
Shortly after the date of the
above preliminary examination,
Foster instituted a replevin suit
for the recovery Of the two sheep
in dispute. The case was tried
and the jury brought in verdict
for the defendant, Mi Bates, find
ing that the sheep were his pro
perty. During the trial of this
case the testimony disclosed the fact
that OH the 7tll day of January,
1904, Samuel Kunz, Jr., i'll the
presence of Foster, offered to settle
the dispute over the two sheep if
Mr.. Bates would pay over the sum
OF 81, 500 or turn over 500 head of
sheep. And it is said that there
are quite large number Of people
who believe that the claim to these
two sheep was made i'll order to lay
the foundation for criminal charge
against Mr.. Bates and to secure the
sum OF 81 800 or 800 head OF sheep
from him to settle the same. 1t is
gratifying to the friends of Mr..
, Bates to know that he refused tC
, pay the money or to turn over the
) sheep.
Mr.. Bates has resided i'll Fremont
county for about eighteen years anc
won the reputation of being al
, honest, honorable and upright mar
and his many friends will be pleased
to hear of his prompt acquittal o
the offense charged against him by
Foster.
L. NJ. Holden was attorney fol
Mr.. Bates and visited the Basil
last week for the purpose of trying
the suit.

GIFTS FROM Mr.. HILL.
Two Rare Paintings Presented to His
toricaI Society.
From Saturdays Daily.


James j. Hill has just presented to the
Minnesota Historical society two oil
paintings, in quaint frames, represent
ing Saint Anthony's falls before they
wore an apron or were turned to COM
mercial purposes.
The paintings were made by II. Lewis,
who made trip up the river in lS4S
and stopped at points now historic long
enough to make either paintings or
studies. The two paintings in question
are better examples of his work than
some others that have been exhibited
during the past two years. Their con-
dition shows that they were painted
fifty or more years ago and not recent
ly from old studies.
The point of view in each was from
the west bank of the river, near the
old government mills The one which is
reproduced here takes in the full width
of the stream, while the other compass
ses about half of it. Mr.. Lewis became
a resident of Dusseldorf, Germany soon
after he viewed the Mississippi, and he is
still there.

FREIGHT CAR ROBBED.
Many Pairs of Shoes Stolen Last
Night.
From SATURDAYS Dali

From Saturdays Daily.
An Omaha freight car was broken into
last night as it stood near the freight
depot and was robbed. Three boxes
containing nineteen pairs of shoes were
taken out. The car arrived at eight
o'clock last night and remained in the
city over night. When the freight Of
ficials went to check up the contents
at seven o'clock it was found that a
robbery had been committed. The shoes
were two consignments shipped from
Iowa to Gotzian & Co., shoe manufac-
turers of st. Paul. One consignment
was shipped from Sutherland and the
other from Hanlontown.
At $50 O'Clock this forenoon, a
stranger who has had lodging the past
two nights at the city hall found three
pairs of shoes near the culvert over
Warren creek, close to the railroad track.
He reported the find to the police, and a
search resulted in the finding of six
more pairs in the depression in the
ground block from the freight depot.
Ten pairs are still missing. From the
marks on the paper boxes which contain
ed them it has been ascertained that
the shoes were all four and five sizes,
worn by boys.
The robbery is thought to be the work
of tramps, who will endeavor to dispose
of the shoes. Officers in other towns
have been notified, and a search was
made this afternoon for the robbers.
The first three pairs found were mems
size and the poorest of the consignment.
