The Idaho Statesman says that
United States Distrit Attorney n. NJ
Ruick expects 20 try the land fraud
cases that have arisen IN the north,
as we'll as those to come up later,
personally, with the sssistane Of Dep
uty Attorney Miles s. johnson OF
Lewiston, no special prosecutor hav-
ing been assigned BY the department
Of Justice to assist him nor to take
chrage Of the prosecutions over his
head.
When asked regarding the matter
by a representative Of the Statesman,
be stated that be expected to take
personal charge Of the matter, as be
had learned that Il was not the i'm
tention Of the government to assign
other counsel, but was on the other
hand relying upon him for the duty.
No intimation even, has been receiv-
ed that the Washington authorities
desired to furnish assistance to him
| The term of court in the north is
30 convene a week from Monday
morning, or on October %, at Mos
COW, and IL lie the expectation in this
city that the timber fraud cases for
which indictments we're returned in
July will be one Of the principal
duties Of that term. II il sntieipat-
ed tbst the attorneys for the various
defendants will raise every possible
objection, legal or otherwise, eight
ing the csses from the FIRST step to
the last, but Attorney Ruick has
something Of a reputation as fighter
in court himself, and the legal battle
will probably be TO q finish.
While nothing certain Is known
regarding the matter, il is stated that
|. n. Smith and James z. Babb 81
Lewiston and W. E. Borah Of Boiss
have been retained as attorneys foI
the indicted men, insuring = higt
class of legal attachments in the fighi
put up by the defendants.
II is the expectation that another
grand jury will probe further intE
the land fraud matters at the time d
the Moscow term. No grand jury,
or a trail jury, either, for that mat
ter, has Jet been drawn. nor will II
be until we'll on in the week. In
deed, it msy be that the jurymeB,
both grand and trial, will be left un,
drawn until the court and the on
eisls have gone north. The FIRST fev
days of the term 20 begin on tbs
card. il is expected, will be devoted
to hearing motions for postponemen
and other legal objections TO the tria
Of the land fraud cases. as we'll a
other matters 60 come up at the Term
This will give time for the jurors Il
reach Moscow, aud incidentally viii
take up the time Of the United State
attorneys, to the exclusion of gran,
