Butler Convicted
Jury Says He Is Guilty Of
Grand Larceny.
Jury Excused Until Next Week to
Give Defense a Chance---Bie
Cases to be Heard This
Term of Court.

After prosecution that lasted a day,
and after the jury had deliberated on
the case for about two hours, Bert
Butler was on Wednesday found guilty
of grand larceny, for the stealing of
horses which were found in his poses
sion. He will receive sentence next
week. Sheriff Jones, who made the
capture at Shoshone Falls, just as But
Ter was about to cross the river into
Twin Falls county and be beyond his
jurisdiction, is especially well pleased
over the conviction. John Mills was
foreman of the jury, the other mem
bers being Riley Blackhart, j. L. Beck
EFT, John E. Baker, Wilson E. Bowlby,
Chas. w. Pinney, Louis Johnson, Chas.
E. McComb, John B. Redford, Louis E.
Harbaugh, A. H. Brailsford and Robt.
McCollom.
Owing to the defense in several cases
not being ready for trial, the judge ex-
cused the jury for the time, until the
middle of next week. Several cases of
interest will then come up, among them
being the Tufield grand larceny case
and the one against Charles Gustin,
who is charged with perjury.
Mrs. Permelia SAVERS was granted a
divorce from her husband, Geo. SAVERS,
and was given leave to resume her
maiden name.
During the latter part of October
testimony will be taken in the Big
Wood river water suit. This is one of
the biggest water suits ever brought in
the state as it involves the water rights
to the whole of Big Wood river, there
never having been a decree issued on
these waters. Judge Walters is dis
qualified to act in this case, having at
one time been employed as an attorney
in the matter, so Judge Bulge has been
called to SIT Judge Bulge has APP
pointed j. F. Cowen to act as referee
in the taking of testimony. Mr.. Cowen
is perhaps the best qualified attorney
in the west to act in such suit, having
had very extensive experience in
water cases. He it was who acted as
referee in the Snake river suit, which
involved the adjustment of all of the
water rights of the upper Snake river
and included more parties than any
other suit ever tried in the state.
Naturalization papers were issued to
Max Pink, native of Russia, and JOS
Carvalha Chaves, a native of Portugal
The former was vouched for by R. J.
Mcmahon and L. C. Jones, and the lat
ter by Manuel Silva and Anthony M.
Comes.
Judge Walters has before him here
in Lincoln county several of the most
suits pending in the district.
The Num- suit involving the power
rights to the water in the Malad river,
the condemnation suits at Shoshone
Falls wherein the Shoshone Falls power
seeks to condemn a small
strip of land to be used in connection
with their power plant claimed by Sen
ator Clarke and others, being among
the number. Next Wednesday Judge

4 HEAVY JUDGMENT
 AGAINST WATfRS-PIERCE

 The defense this afternoon filed a motion for q new tr.dl and the case will be taken to the federal courts. The state filed d petition with Dis trict Judge Brooks for the appointment of a receiver. and also for an injunc- ton to restrain the company from moving any property from the state. The judge granted q temporary in- junction and set the receivership ease for June 8.
 The trial had consumed three weeks in the district court here and its con clusiOn today was merely the begin ming of a long lesa! battle.

Overcome by the Strain of the Trial and
 Want of Exercise
On Account of His Illness an Adjournment Was Taken Until Tomorrow umOrs Concerning the Filling of the Jury.

Boise. June 1.-William D. Haywood was seized with a sudden illness early this morning and was unable to appear in court. His trial was adjourned un- iii Monday. Haywood was restless and i'll most of the night and early this morning he began crying with pain. Two hurriedly summoned physicians announced after examining him that he was suffering from acute intestinal toXemia. Measures for. the alleviItion of the pain in his abdomen and head included the administration of mOr- Ihine and the dizziness and nausea caused by drug. rather than the orig mal trouble was responsible for his inability 10 go to the court room in the afternoon.
 Haywood is a hearty eater and since his trial began he stopped taking ex- ercise and these conditions. added 10 the worry and strain of the trial are believed to be responsible for the at tack. The early suffering by the pris- oner created the impression that he was quite seriously i'll and it was thought an extended interruption of the trial would be inevitable Hay wood responded quickly to the treat ment and by 9.30 when Judge Wood or dered a recess of the court until 1.3O it was believed the prisoner would be able 10 attend the afternoon session He did attempt to dress, but the effort made him dizzy and ill and he return ed to bed. His counsel informed the court that he surely would be able to be present on Monday and an adjourn ment was taken until II o'clock on that day
 The jury was brought into court and the talesmen in attendance were again warned to refrain from discussing the case. Two men must be found to complete the jury unless one side or the other attempts to open the way for the removel of some of the jurors all ready chosen.
 The final movements in the jury se- lection coupled with the unexpected interruption of the trial have given the case greater local interest and more local discussion than it has heretofore had Active friends of the prosecution expressed the belief that the illness of Haywood was a convenience to gain time for further investigation of the talesmen of the venire and others are sure that Haywood collapsed under the strain of the trial These and a dozen other rumors went through the town. One suspicious friend of the de- fense declared that the friends of Hay wood should present a petition to the county authorities asking permission personally to prepare and serve all food to the prisoner. Still another re- port was that the defense. greatly dis satisfied with several men in the jury box. would seek by show of affi- davits to get consent for a reexamina- tiOn. A further report was that the defense has used it's last peremptory challenge.

keno, New, June 1.-The Reno Jour- nal tomorrow will say: Knitted States Senator Newlands who has just re- turned here from trip down the Mis- sissippi with the Inland Water Ways Commission of which he is vice chair man. was today asked for his views on the presidents utterances at In- dianapOlis on Memorial day on the question of the national control of the railways. Mr. Newlands said: MT. Roosevelt is the first president to thoroughly avail himself of the consti- tutiOnal power of recommendation Most of our presidents have been merely executive officials. But so long as Roosevelt's recommendations are good l do not see that any exception can be taken if he sets up a new ideal of his presidential duty as a leader of public opinion and Legislation.

Tiff SfAMtNS' STRIKE
 MOST SERIOUS MATER
The French Government Helpless m t''e Face of the Demands of the Sailors.

Paris. June l.-While the minister of marine says he hopes the seamen who struck yesterday will recognize the logic of facts and come to their senses" the government seems to be almost helpless. The seamen's organ izatiOn is making it clear that they have no complaint against the naviga- tion companies. that the fight is against the government for an in crease of pensions of the men of the naval resrves to which nearly all the striking officers. engineers. seamen, lOngshOremen and even the fishermen belong.
 The justice of the claim of the sea- men that successive French govern ments since Louis XIV have "bOr- rOwed" immense sums from the sea mems fund is recognized. But that the culprits now should be made to disgOrge and with the means at the disposal of the treasury. the minister of marine says it is impossible to in crease. the minimum pension to $250 and S36O for men and officers. respect lively. as the seamen's organization de- mands. The government points out that railroad men must be provided for and adds that the scale asked by the seamen is far in excess of the schedule for the old age workmens pensions, which the government has under consideration.
 In order not to remain entirely pas sive. some of the navigation companies took action against the strikers today. Formal charges of assertion were made against nearly 5000 officers. engi- neers, seamen and others who aban- doned their ships. Under the decree of 1852 they are subject to heavy penal lies
