men who expected this way TO secure
filings on choice timber and home
steads in townships 80 and IS, east,
learned that the time thus spent was
all In vain. Decisions received By
Register Bartlett indicate that the
government never intended this land
should be open for entry for any but
actual settlers who had filed before
the land was included in the forest
reserve. The impression prevailed
ct that time that said townships were
Withdrawn from the forest reserve,

sirable selections.

that it virtually settles the whole

Alene.
STATEMENT OF CONFERENCE.
The following statement was fur
nished by those attending the confer
ence:
Those participating in the confer
enee feel shat it 10 time for the re-
publicans of Kootenai county to act.
That inasmuch as the socalled repub-
hcan county ticket put up at Occur
d'Alene six weeks ago was dictated by
one man, and that inasmuch as such
methods are un-American and contrary
to the principles Of republication,
and the further fact that various can
didates named on the ticket were not
chosen by the boss on account of
their qualifications to fill the various
offices, but on the contrary they were
chosen because they were men whom he
could best control, and that these
candidates are all members of the
ring, that seeming to be the only
necessary qualification for them to
have in order to receive nomination
at the hands of the boss.
For the above reasons and for the
further and paramount reason that it
appeared to those present, after hav-
ing made a careful Investigation of
the feeling throughout the county,
having Spent Ave weeks time in
cleaning information on the subject,
that there was q large percentage Of
the republican voters Of Kootenai
county who demand that ring rule
be broken and bossiam crushed in
this county for all time, it is the
unanimous opinion of all those pres
ent that decisive action be taken to
defeat the socalled republican ticket,
and that in taking such action no
principle of republication will be
violated. =

Spokane, Wash, Sept. 1.-That
Sidney Sloan's mother has determin-
ed to stand by him, and to employ
the best obtainable legal talent to
save his life, was the understanding
of her most intimate friends last even

Insanity viii be the defense.
When the youth is arraignd it is un
derstood plea of not guilty viii be
entered, and he will be defended on the
theory that sudden attack Of insan-
ity caused him to commit the terrible
crime. 1t will be argued that moth
ing in his past life will warrant the
belief that he could possibly have
slain his father while in his right
mind, and it will be argued that he
was not intoxicated.
Detective McDermott has succeed

murdered man on the night proceed

said he last night, ''that Mr.. Sloan
was not drunk when he reached home,
though he had been drinking consid-
erably. / have found the men who
were with him, though am not at
liberty to give their names. !"
'"The theory that Sidney Sloan had
assistance in committing the muir
der, !" said Chief Waller, "does not
impress me favorably. / think he
acted alone, and / do not think any
woman inspired or suggested it in
the least. -
This statement was in response to
the suggestion that it would have
been impossible for boy Of IL to
have carried the body Of Mr.. Sloane,
weighing more than 200 pounds down
the stairway from the room in which
the murder was committed without
assistance. 1t had also been suggest
ed that some Of the immoral women
with whom the prisoner was reported
to have been associating had inspired
the crime.
Dr.. Hilda A. Simon, an intimate
friend Of Mrs Sloane, was admitted
to the cell Of the young murderer late
yesterday afternoon but remained
only a short time as she didn't wish
to satisfy the morbid curiosity Of the
throng that had gathered about the
cell door in the hope Of catching
