ROBBERS GOT TIE WRONG MAN
Laid for McLannan and Got Charles
Cox at Kamiah.

Kamiah. Idaho, Jan. 15.-The rob-
berry of Charles Cox here yesterday
morning was a mistake. The robbers
were after bigger game, or this is the
firm belief OF the people of this COM
munity. Billy McLannan, we'll
known blacksmith of this country,
who had recently sold his shop and
had over $500 on his person. was
their intended victim. The robbers
thought he would come down to catch
the early train, but he slipped away
the evening before and went down
10 Kamiah without their knowledge.
No arrests have been made as yet
on the robbery, but suspicion is CEN
tering around a character in Nez
Perce.
Cox was within half mile of Ka-

In the court this afternoon a plea
of guilty was entered by Teeters, ac.
cused of horsestealing. However
sentence was not passed upon him by
Judge Ellis.
Sidney Warren, accused of perjury
has entered a plea of guilty. and the
passing of sentence was postponed. 1t
is not probable he will be sentenced
for some weeks yet.
Charles Sands pleaded guilty to
pointing a gun at another party and
was fined $50 and also sentenced to
60 days i'm the county Jail. However.
sentence was suspended during his
good behavior.

SEVENTEEN ADULTS ARRESTED.
Since January I, of Whom Twelve
Were Indians.

That the sale of liquor to Indians
Is becoming quite a business, is in
dicated by the number of drunken In
dians arrested by the police. So far
this year there have been II adults
arrested by the police, and of this
number IL have been drunken In
dians.
This morning the record of arrests
showed that seven Indians had been
arrested since Saturday afternoon
Six of the number were picked up by
Officers Manning and Stephen on
Saturday night. Two of the number
were charged with being disorderly
as well as drunk, while several of the
others were found asleep in back
yards or on porches where their pres
ence was not appreciated by the oc-
cupants.

TWENTY MILL TAX LEVY.
County Court Decides on Two Mills
More Than Last Year.

This afternoon the county court
named the tax levy for the coming
year and placed the amount at 20
mills.
Although it was generally supposed
for some time past that the levy would
be in the vicinity of 20 mills. it was
not formally decided until this after
noon. The levy this year is two mills
higher than that of last year.
Now that the levy has been made.
the work of making out the tax will
be rushed by the county clerk, as 1t
is not long before the same must be
turned over to the sheriff.

Between now and the first of the

furnishing goods department of the

partment moved to the north side of
the main store room, where 1t was
formerly located for many years.
