BURGLARIZED
DENTAL PARLORS
Took Gold, But Overlooked the
Cash

Some individual wearing a long
slender shoe, tried his hand at burg
larIzing the vAriona local dental par
lor last night. At least two were
broken into and quite thoroughly
ranscked. DIR. Burnett's rooms
we're unlocked and much gold was ex-
tracted from the drawers of the lab
ratory room. He had taken a skele-
ton key and unlocked the door, which
he did not consider worth his time
to lock again. He had to unlock two
doors before be could gain admit
lance into the labratOry room. Be-
fore unlocking the last door, he evi-
IDENTIFY climbed upon the sofa In the
waiting room, which was more or
less filled with dust, In order to look
through the window into the labra
tory and while there left very plain
mark Of the size OF his shoe on that
piece of furniture. His shoe meas
ured IL by three and thIee-fourths
inches. The shape of the shoe would
indicate he was a we'll dressed man.
About s16 worth OF gold was TAX
en-. Had he been more careful he
might have secured $40 in cash be-
longing to the Methodist church, be-
sides s25 more in other gold, the
property Of DIR. Burnett.
The same man evidently visited DIR.

making his entrance. The
front door was also unlocked. He
placed his loss at little over e5 In

L. Fl. Burnett of Aberdeen, who

before leaving for the west:
''The last Legislature authc rized
county officials to levy a tax not ex-
ceedlng half a mill for the purpose
Of raising funds to pay the expenses
Of providing an exhibit at the fair.
With the wealth that has grown up in
Spokane it would require only a
small ilevy indeed to raise enough
to erect a building that would not
only be a credit to the city but to
the state and the fair itself.

am amazed at the development in all
directions in Spokane in the five
years since l have been in this city.

Aberdeen will draw it's supplies from

COUNTY SEAT FIGHT TO OPEN
Prominent Men Will Hold a
Public Meeting.

1t is determined to take steps in
the near future to open up the county
seat fight. Several prominent citi-
zens, especially business men have
determined to have a mass meeting
called at once They maintain the
work must take definite shape and be
pushed with vigor from the start.
They contend this is not a faetional
or individual struggle bat one that
interests every good Occur d'Alene
citizen that as a matter Of justice
the county seat should be in CEN
trail point of the county and one
easily accessible from every portion.
Naturally enough Occur d'Alene &C
cupies this unique and commanding
position and besides deserves il
rather than a little towT' placed off
along the north boundary. II i:
probable that the meeting will HI
called by the mayor to make it de
void of any partisan professional Oh
other flavor.
The business men are particularly
] interested in this effort because i
will bring increased trade to then
and make it very much more conven
lent for every business transaction
which they must place on record
The real estate men present a soli'
phalanx on the matter. This is ais
true of the little real estate holder
who now must go or be sent to Rsth
drum to pay even their taxes. 1t u
claimed the meeting will be larg
one.

GRAND JURY
TO INVESTIGATE
Report that Western Federation
of Miners Mixed in BOrah Case

Boise, Idaho, Sept. 30.-The Sc
cond week of the trial Of United
States Senator Borah, charged with
conspiracy in the Idaho land fraud
began this morning before Federal
Judge Whitson.
During the first six days Of the
trial the evidence adduced in behalf
of the United States dealt
with the acts of former Cover
nor Frank Steunenberg. Witnesses
testified that a partnership existed
between Steunenberg and capitalist
named William Sweet to acquire,
hold and generally deal in timber
land. According to the statements
of certain entrymen. John l. Wells
and John Kinkaid furnished persons
with money to prove up their timber
claims. 1t has also been developed
that Governor Steuenberg was intro
duced to Albert K. Palmer, and Pal
mer introduced the former chief OK
ecutive of Idaho to James I. Barber
and Summer f. Moon of the present
Barber Lumber company. One group
of entrymen testified that they deed
ed their property over to Palmer.
The purpose of the prosecution is to
show that Palmer drew the money,
some $4,000 in all, from Barber
and Moon, and turned 1t over to
Frank Steuenberg, agent, who in turn
gave it to Wells and Kinkaid Bor-
ah as attorney for the Barber interests,
attended to details concerning the
land.
Attorneys for Borah will contend
that if conspiracy did exist Senat-
or Borah did not know anything OF
it's formation or existence, and that
he acted in good faith as attorney in
handling some of the land matters,
upon the assurance of his clients
that the purchasers we're the result OF
bona fide bargains and sales.
Great interest is displayed by
prominent members of the Western
Federation of Miners, Senator Borat
having been one of the principal
prosecutors In the Haywood trial,
and still being retained as state at
torney in the Pettibone and Meyer
cases, the first of which is set fol-
trial on October Is. Meyer, tht
president of the Western Federation
has been a frequent visitor to tht
courtroom, as have two of the looaI
attorneys for the miners organiza
tion. An interested spectator of the
last few days has been "Bill" Easter
ly, one of the men who Harry Or
chaTd declared assisted him in som'
of his misdeeds in Colorado. East
erlY was a witness at the Haywood
trial.
The special grand jury, which i,
investigating charges of misconduc
against United States District Attor
ney Ruick, has decided to take ~
and make an inquiry into the rumor
which have been current here TO
some time in the effect that the West
ern Federation of Miners had some
thing to do with the indictment O
Senator Borah. Fred Miller of Spok
ane, Washington, one of the Haywoo
attorneys, arrived here yesterday i
repsonse to a grand jury subpoena
One witness before the grand jury, q
Borah's friends tell it, is said t
have stated that he heard Miller sa
the federation had spent sl5, 600 i
securing Borah's indictment.
