Boise, Idaho, May 90. The Steun-

was iocularly asked for by the de
tense in the hope of changing the
luck that had logged the even num-
Der used. The work Of jury illing il
stopped at the vacancy created by the
seventeenth peremptory challenge, so
thaf there remain three more paremp-
tory challenges. Besides there Is a
