The case of the State of Idaho
against Steve Adams was taken up
at Wallace Monday. John H. Wourms
for the defense, filed a demurrer to
he information In the case, based on
the grounds, in the language of the
documents, that "the facts stated in
the indictment do not constitute a
public offense in that 1t is not alleg-
ed in the information the character
or nature of the deadly weapon with
which said alleged assault was made,
or that it was made with any weapon
deadly or otherwise; or that the said
Fred Tyler died as the result of said
assault or from the infiiction of any
wound by any weapon in the hands
of the defendant; or that the said
defendant with malice aforethought
did shoot off or discharge at. upon
or against the said Fred Tyler any
rifle. firearm or other weapon"
Upon these grounds the defense
asks that the defendant be dismissed
from trial upon the information on
Ale against him.
Mr.. Wourms asked that the argu-
ments in the matter be continued
until the leading counsel in the case,
Messrs. barrow, Morrison, Richard
son and Nugent could arrive. The
case was again taken up Wednesday
afternoon, and Judge Morgan post
9oned the case without date, i'm
mediately following Adams plea OF
not guilty to the charge of the muir
der of Fred Tyler.
Judge Morgan will probably ad-
journ court this week so that Adams
cannot be tried before January, when
Judge Woods will be on the bench
the court to-day over-ruled the de-
PENDANTS demurrer to the informa-
ton, which was submitted without
argument. Attorneys barrow. Mug.
emit, Richardson, Miller. Crane and
Wourms were in court in the inter.
est of Adams.

A decision by the commissioner of
the general land Office has been re-
ceived at the Boise office which Is of
great Importance. 1t involves ques-
ion that has not yet been settled in
The courts. 1t is a question of water
right
On June 20, 1902, Sarah E. Keith
made desert entry No. 1878, Final
proof was offered at the Boise land
office July 8, 1906. in which 1t was
shown that the desert land had been
redeemed by means of artesian wells.
The local land office held that title to
all waters in Idaho, whether surface
or underground, rested in the State
and that permit must be obtained
from the State for the use of water
from these artesian wells before title
to the land could be obtained from
the government.
The commissioner of the general
land Office holds that II water be OBJ
tanned from artesian wells located on
the land to be watered no showing of

CHANCE FOR CALDWELL.
Get the Agricultural Department to
Construct Sample Road at This
Point-Men and Machinery Will
BE in Boise i'm Near Future-Little
Cost to Community.

There will soon be an elegant op-
portunity for Caldwell to get sam
pie road constructed near this place
practically free of cost. The Boise
Chamber of Commerce has taken up
the matter of securing sample road
near Boise, and while the skilled
workmen and machinery are SO near
at hand, Caldwell should put forth
every effort toward getting such a
road constructed here. AS we have
the agricultural experiment farm To-
Gated at Caldwell, the government
will be. undoubtedly, more interested
than otherwise. The Business Mems
Association should take the matter
up with the Agricultural Department
at once.
The instructions state that an ex-
pert will be detailed from the depart
ment of agriculture to supervise and
demonstrate the governments meth
DDS of construction and that so far as
conditions warrant road engineers
and experts will be assigned to give
advice and prepare specifications for
the construction of an object-lesson
road. If practicable, the department
will arrange to send modern road
machinery, such as rollers, stone
crushers and road machines.
There will be no expense to the
community for the expert services
and machines furnished by the de-
partment, but the county must fur
nish the right-of-way, all materials,
common labor and teams for the con-
struction and all necessary incident
ais for the maintenance and opera
ton of the machinery. except the pay
of the skilled workmen.
Before detailed estimates of the
cost of improvements can be made 1t
is necessary that plans. profiles and
cross sections of the road be prepared
in accordance with the rules and reg
ulations of the agricultural depart.
