mont for not moro than two years.
The grand jury reported having in
vestigated seven charges Of violation
OF the federal laws. Three true bills
we're returned and four charges ig-
nored.
In relation to the charges against
Bona M. Whiteley, postmaster at Van
Wyck, the jury reported having found
that the evidence was sufficient to sus-
tain criminal charge but stated that
1t showed the postmaster to have been
negligent in failing to promptly re-
nit surplus money order funds and
in other ways proved his unfitness to
hold the office.
In the cases where the charges were
ignored the evidence was deemed in.
sufficient to warrant the return OF
true bills.
The trial jury reported to Judge
Beatty Thursday. There are two cases
pending, those against A. @. Burnett,
who is charged with taking letter
belonging to another from 1.-The Boise
postoffice, and Emil Hansen 1t il
doubtful if these cases will be tried
at the present term and should they
be continued the jury will probabl,
be dismissed.
