There is more catarrh in this section Of

many years doctors pronounced It local
disease and prescribed local remedies, and

treatment, pronounced il incurable. Sci
ence has proven catarrh to be constitu-
tional disease and therefore requires con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,

Nice old party, simple fellow.

While the breezes fiercley blow
And your fire for lack OF fuel
On the hearth is sinking low.
And he makes his business rhyme
With the good old winter time.
For az six per cord he sells You

Green, Of course, but sim his conscience
Lets him represent it good
And his conscience gathers crime

But he won't come down % dime

That's the way trees grow, he tells you,
And he's not q mite 70 blame;
And not chargeable with crime

fatal. Mr.. Bierly was assisting in un-

GLENN BROTHERS
FOUND GUILTY
Treable Grew Out Of Rasging Of
Stock in the Craig Mosntain
District

\ warrant was sworn ont few days
ago by Mr.. Freepons, charging the
Glenn brothers with using profame Ian
guage in the presence of children. The
offense was committed at Mr.. Free
pon's place near Forest and was the
outcome of the defendants cattle rang
ing on Freepon's premises. 1t seems
which N that time was thought to h.
the only vacant surveyed tract avail
able at that point Glenn brothers filed
a contest suit against Mr.. Freepons and
the case was heard In the local land
office. Receiver CARLY deciding in favor
of the plaintiff and J. p. West giving
decision in favor Of the defendants
The matter was then taken before the
interior department. where decision
is now pending. Glenn brothers are
stockmen and IT seems the land in
question had been used by them to run
their stock upon. The tension between
the parties was further strained when
last May the plaintiff made an amend
ment to his filing taking in about 100
acres more, which he discovered had
been surveyed and joined the 40 acres
previously filed on The defendants
entered a protest against the amended
filings. but. however, the local land
office accepted it and the entire matter
now rests with the interior department.
The trouble. It appears. which resulted
In the arrest Of the Glenn brothers,
originated over this latter tract OF land.
The defendants cattle were grazing on
the premises when Mr.. Freepons at
tempted to drive them Off This action
on the part Of the plaintiff incensed
the two brothers who objected, con-
tending that they had as good title to
the land az did Mr.. Freepons. In the
alteration that followed the language
was used which caused the two young
mems arrest. They were given a hear-
ing yesterday before Justice Coburn.

CONSPIRACY TO DEFRAuD
THE U. S. GOVERNMENT
Grand Jury at Boise lndicts Two Under that
Charge, Two Others for Sub0rnatOn and
Four for Perjury. All Prominent
Lewiston and Asotin People.

The work Of the federal grand jury
called this week at Boise is ended and
the net result Is eight indictments
While the direct assertion Is not given
out the trend of the Investigation at
this time is directed wholly at the Lew
iston land office. or rather to frauds
existing in filings made in this Office.
and the people indicted are Lewiston
and Asotin people, some of whose
names are given and some Withheld for
obvious reasons Associated press dis
patches sent cut from BSise last night
tell of the work of the jury as follows:
Boise, Idaho. July l3.-The special
United States grand jury that has
been investigating the cases of alleged
timber fraud in north Idaho concluded
its work today. and was discharged
after making it's final report which
transmitted seven indictments, making
eight for the session. OF the seven
indictments returned two were for con-
spiracy to defraud the United States
These were brought under section
5440 of the revised statutes of the
United States. 1t is under this section
that Congressman Williamson and Dr.
Gesner of Oregon and others are now
being prosecuted. Two of the indict-
ments are for subornation of perjury
and three are for perjury. While no
official information is given out. it is
known that Geo. H. Kester and W. f.
Kettenbach. the Lewiston bankers, are
among those who have been indicted
and it Is the belief that they viii be
called upon to face the conspiracy
charge The great point supporting
this belief is that all the evidence that
was secured for presentation to the
grand jury has focused on the two
Lewiston men named In general
way the charge against them il that
they furnished the money that enabled
go-betweens to secure through the
filings of the stool pigeons large and
valuable tracts of timber land. The
trend of what is known of the evidence
by reason of the statements made by
witnesses points to the Lewiston bank
ers being charged with conspiracy. the
go-hetweens with subornation of per-
jury and the men who did the filing
with perjury. there being four of the
latter including the investigation of
Cornell. who was the first man indicted.
Lewiston inter-state news. [volume] (Lewiston, Idaho) 1905-1906, 1905-07-14

1t also develops that William Dwyer, a
former state land selector. was under
investigation by the grand jury. He
has been charged for some time with
being go-between in the alleged
kester- -Kettenbach transactions and
has been indicted. At the time Dwyer
was selecting timber lands for the
state it is alleged he was acting in a
dual capacity. reserving choice selec-
tions in the interest of private indi-
viduals and selecting inferior tracts for
the state. This accusation was made
long before there was any thought of
an investigation by the government
Bench warrants for those indicted will
be issued in the near future.
The court today too up the case Of
Ivan Cornell, indicted for perjury, and
ne was granted until August 1st in
time he was arraigned it was agreed
that he might change his plea to
guilty is ne desired.
The setting of the time for Cornell
to plead gives an inkling of the length
of postpOnement Of the trial of the
timber fraud cases which Will be held
in Moscow. 1t is the general belief
that the indictments returned by the
special grand jury are only the be-
ginning of vigorous investigation of
timber and land frauds in this state.
1t was imperative that the cases to
be considered by the special grand jury
he brought up at this time in order that
the statute of limitations might not
run against them otherwise they
would undoubtedly have gone over to
come in with expected wholesale in
dictments. A number of South Idaho
frauds are. it is said being probed by
agents and 1t would not be surprising
if the. grand jury ar the Moscow term
were called upon TO consider them to-
gether with number Of others origi-
mating i'm the northern part OF the state.
Jackson O-Keefe of Asotin and VIM,
are among those indicted. the fist
named for suborna tion of perjury and
Lambden for perjury. No information
| seems available as tn the identity OF
the remaining two Of the eight in
! dicted.
Warrants of arrest were issued on
| the indictments today and the amount
OF bonds to be required was fixed.

TAFT CALLED

Plans to Secure a Raise

F.. Wallace as chief engineer of the

first time the influences back of Wal
lace and presents an enterprise of gil
gantic proportions The story as re-
lated by this authority ls this:

and some high o..cials of leading rail-
roads conceived the plan Of construct
ing electric railways in such portions of
the country as would make their con-
structiOn profitable in competition with
steam roads. When purchased by the
steam road. the line would cease and
revenues would eventually reach the
treasury of the steam road. The plan.
this authority has it. was to force the
sale of present profitable electric lines
by threats Of constructing competing
lines.
Westinghouse. Wallace and the rail-
road men interested in the undertaking
were to get an equal division OF the
profit derived from the sale. 1t was
estimated that the salary and profits
would net Wallace $4,000 annually.
The acceptance of Wallace had a
string to it, He came north and plan
ned to secure from the president and
secretary an increase of salary of
5000 and the appointment OF chairman n
Of t-e canal commission with resi-
dence in Washington.
The president and secretary learned
of the engineers intention and called
his bluff, II is declared.
