5ioifls ACQUITTED at Caldwell.

Caldwell, April 17.-After being
out four hours, the jury in the case
of the state of Idaho VS.. Perry Stoffle,
accused of rape committed on the
person of Lulu May Miller, brought in
a verdict at about 4 O'Clock this morn
ing, acquitting the defendant.
The case has been on trial since
Friday, and from the attendance and
attention it has aroused great interest.
Mr.. Stoff1e is man about 40 years
of age and unmarried, and farmer
residing near Star. The girl, Lulu
May Miller is about 13 years old,
small of her age, and practically an
orphan, her mother having abandoned
her.
On the first ballot it was under
stood the jury stood to for acquit-
tai. The reason given by the jurors
for the verdict was that the evidence
was not sufficient to convict, although
very damaging in its character.

hbtdke Almost Proved fatal.

Lenora O'Leary, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. A. ]. O'Leary, formerly Of
this city but now of Midvale, came
near losing her life Wednesday even
ing through the error of the Midyale
druggist. During the evening she
went to the drug store to purchase
some borax with which to prepare a
mouth wash and the druggist sold her
some strychnine instead. Thinking.
of course, that all was right she pre-
pared the wash and proceeded to use
it with almost fatal results. DIR.
Schmitz was summoned from Cam.
brige and worked over her for some
time before she was declared out of
danger. She is now recovering nicely.
Her brother George left for her bed

5Off Old pR0pHEI6
AR[ BEING FULFILLED

r. e. Wilson, who was down from
Cambridge and Salubria this week,
tells Of how an old prophesy of the
Signal is being fulfilled. Ten years
ago the Signal expressed the opinion
that in course Of time the rolling
hills in the central part of the county
could and would be successfully dry
farmed. Mr.. Wilson states that
since December no less than twenty
five to thirty heads of families have
come in and located farms on the low
hills east of Salubria valley and in
dustriously going to work to make
homes and preparing to send for their
families, those not already here. In
fact the hill country from Salubria
and Indian vallies to Crane creek is
fast settling up and some farms that
have been established for three or four
years have fully demonstrated the sue
cess of farming that section without
irrigation. On some two good crops
of alfalfa has been raised without wa
ter, and on all one good first crop can
be cut and the second growth yields
such an excellent crop of seed that it
is far more valuable than if cut for
hay. Cereals are also successfully
grown and satisfactory yields OBJ
tanned. The late families coming in
are some from the state of Washing
ton, where they have been renting
farms, others are from Michigan and
elsewhere.

E. E. Dodd, the demented man
who has been stopping with the fam

Of the Salmon river for some time
past, and who suddenly disappeared
at the time Of Mr.. Shelters drown
ing, was brought TO this city Wednes-
day by Mr.. Cooper of Meadows. His
examination was held Thursday by
Probate Judge Ayers who committed
him to the asylum at Blackfoot. The
unfortunate man has been demented

TON BUTTLEfS MINES
ARt SHOWING UP WELL

Tom Butler, an old-time miner
and prospector of Snake river and
adjacent Idaho and Oregon mining
districts, was in Weiser short time
ago doing a little business and noting
the changes since his last visit-and
his visits are entirely too few to suit
his friends. Mr.. BUTLER has been
working all winter on his Home
stake Mine down Snake river, which
mine he has now been developing for
16 years. He has pushed the tunnel
in 136 feet and has crosscut for SO
feet in iron carbonates. The ore runs
from So to SIG and the property is
fine one. He hopes to induce some
one with capital to take hold and put
1t on producing basis. On the Iron
mine he has a 20-foot cut and 16-
foot tunnel showing a fine copper
vein 18 feet wide.

@. L. Hathaway. secretary and
manager of the Portland & Ida.o
Mining Co., arrived in the city We'd
nesday from Portland and is arrang-
ing to forward supplies to the com
pany's properties near Resort. The
company owns 1440 acres of placer
on Secesh creek. In addition to the
placer ground the company owns val
liable water rights which are to be
developed during the summer and on
which work will be commenced as
soon as the men CAM get in. Mr..
Hathaway stated that during the
summer the company would operate a
50-foot Bucyrus dredge with capac-
ity of 800 cubic yards every "a hours.
Last season the ground averaged bet
ter than so cents per yard.
Mr.. Hathaway is still interested in
the Golden Rule Placer Mining COM
pany which owns 500 acres located
near Resort, on Grouse creek, trib-
utary to Secesh creek. 1t is hy-
draulic proposition, the ground go
ing better than sc cents. The COM

N BLACK LAKE MILL

The 0Te and Causes Break
d0un--Fd(e5 Increased
in The Mines.

Q. L. ellison, for some time past
mill superintendent of the Salzer---
Ford mill at Black Lake, arrived in
the city Wednesday afternoon from
the property. Mr.. ellison stated it
had been the company's intention to
operate the mill until May / when it
would be closed down for the sum-
mer and operations confined to de-
velopments in the mines until fall,
but owing to an unfortunate accident
which occurred to the rock crusher
the mill was closed much sooner.
In some way sledge hammer became
buried in load of ore in the mines
which was conveyed to the crusher
with the result that the jaws Of the
big crusher were badly demolished.
The crusher will be repaired and
the mill otherwise put in splendid
condition during the summer ready
for fall run. The closing down of
the mill necessitated laying off sew
eral men, but the forces at the mines
we're increased and extensive develop
ment work will be prosecuted.
Among the work to be carried on
1000-foot drainage tunnel will be
driven to carry away the immense
water surplus which is encountered
especially at this time of the year.
Mr.. ellison has severed his connec-
tions with the company and will 60
to other fields. He left on the early
Thursday morning train for Salt Lake
to visit with his family for short
time and Will then go to Nevada and
California mining districts. He will
be joined at Salt Lake by Sim Ford
who will also make a visit to the
southern gold fields.
