JURORS DENY AFF|DAV|TS
CroSbie and Hancock Call Sto-
rieS of Dalton and Film
derS Untrue.

Several days ago when counsel for ex-
Councilman Fred W. Chambers were
making such a hard fight for a new trial
and stay of execution, great stress was
laid upon two affidavits coming from
Isaac Flinders and Fred r. Dalton, both
of whom asserted they had had conversa-
tons with certain jurymen during the
course of the trial that would tend TO
show they were prejudiced against the
defendant
Flinders made oath that Juror Crosbie
u. Vance from the police force was
shame and an outrage; that he said
thousands and thousands of dollars of
the peoples money had been squandered
and the jury was fishing" to see where
10 lay the blame. Yesterday Mr. Crosbie
stated that the affidavit was untrue. He
asserts that Flinders, who is the father
in-law of the dismissed officer, met him
on the street and endeaVored to engage
MIN in conversation regarding the trial
CroSDie says that he told him not to do
so because he was a juror and he was I'M
DER instructions from the court not to
c0nVerSeS on that subject. He SAYS that
Flinders did not deSiSt. but followed him
into the shop and in the presence of an
other witness remarked that Ito convict
Chambers would be a shame"
Yesterday also the other accused Juror.
NJ J. Hancock, volunteered the infOrma-
ton that he had no such conversation
as that related in the affidavit of Fred
f. Dalton. and declared that beyond
meeting Dalton on the street and pass
ing the time of day, he had not conversed
with him since 1904.
These statements have been called TO
the attention OF the district attorney, and
II is quite probable that something fur

LOST IN CLERKS OFFICE.
Story Comes Out With Filing of In
formation in Court.

That some one other than the dis
trict attorney is at fault for failure
to file informations against criminals
within the thirty-day period prescribed
by law was evidenced here by a case
that was brought to light yesterday. 1t
is upon this specific ground that the
accusers of District Attorney George
Halverson expect to have him ousted
from his office.
Henry Peterson was bound over from
the municipal court on Jan. e. The
information against the prisoner was
filed yesterday, and when arraigned Pc
terSon pleaded guilty. This was over
the specified legal time and an inves-
ugation shows that the papers binding
the prisoner over from the lower court
were found IN the files of the county
clerks office only after diligent search,
and when they were found it was dis
covered that on the outside cover was
written the word Dismissed The dis
trict attorney himself had never before
seen the papers referred to, according to
his own statement, made yesterday, and
only secured them when he did through
the matter being called to his attention
by n friend Mr.. HalversOn stated that
he had not received a transcript from
the county attorney Of the case when it
was up in the municipal court, as he
should have done.
It is stated that the enemies of the
district attorney were watching this
case so as to bring up an additional al
legation Of derelictiOn of duty. This will
hardly occur now.

REFUSE THE LEHI SCALE.
Beet Growers Vote Down One of MIR.
EccIes' Propositions.

By a vote Of fifteen to eight, the
farmers assembled at the county court
house turned down the Lehi sliding scale
price for sugar beets. This scale pro-
vides for a payment of from $425 to
$4.75 per ton for sugar beets, according
to the grade of the product. This was
one of two alternatives given by Mr..
EccIes, acting for the Amalgamated
Sugar company, to farmers who de-
manded a flat rate Of $3.50, which was
paid last season. When the motion to
adopt the sliding scale was lost the
meeting adjourned without any further
action being taken; hence 1t is expected
that the matter will resolve itself back
to the old flat rate of $3.50 per ton.
Two weeks from tomorrow, providing
the weather permits, the beet farmers
will want to commence work preliminary
to the raising of their yearly crop. In
some settlements only a few farmers
have made contracts with the sugar peo-
pie while in others quite number have
signed up. An officer of the Amalga-
mated Sugar company stated yesterday
that the company did not propose to
plant beets for any Of the farmers I'M
less they had signed contracts There
remain, therefore, but two weeks for the
farmers to sign the necessary agree
ment
