The State of Idaho vs Thomas
Eagan, charged with assault with i'm
tent to commit murder, has been
on trial all this week but it looks
as though it will 60 to the jury
either late to night or in the morn
ing. This is the action wherein
the defendant, Thomas Eagan.
attempted to kill his sweetheart
who resides five miles from Cotton
wood, last June.
State Has Strong Case.
The state has made q mighty
strong case against him and County
Atty. Griffith has prosecuted with
vigor and grim determination to
land the prisoner behind the bars.
If convicted he can be given from
one to fourteen years in the stat e's
prison.
Hard Fight for Defense.
Atty. Scales, for the defendant,
is combating every effort of the
state and, while the presumption
is the defense will make the fight
on insanity, it may he along other
lines. To the casual observer it
looks as though Atty. Scales has
the fight of his life at hand. The
defense will be watched with
interest and doubtless the court
room will be filled to hear the
closing arguments of the attorneys.
The Jurors.
The following twelve men will
decide the fate of Thomas Eagan:
w. A. Gillette, G. e. Call, James
Bickford, U. G. Kinkaid, Frank

County Change Hands.

Hon. A. F. Parker reports the
sale last week of two of the finest
and best improved farms on Camas
Prairie to Montana parties. They
are the Lee Wann and Adam Sch

tana, and are connected with the
people who recently bought the
Mcdonald farm north of town.
The price paid for the Wann farm,
Including ten acres Of timber in the
foothills, was; $1,000. Mr.. Scbeleir
sold his farm for $1,000, or $40 per
acre. Both places are highly i'm.
proved, with nice residences, or
chards, barns and drilled wells,
Mr.. Scheleir having only few days
since found generous flow ol
water at q depth of 286 feet. the
east end of his farm has ample
water at q depth Of about 20 feet.
The soil in that neighborhood is ol
the best and deepest and very pro.
ductive, and some Of the finest
grain raised this year is the pro-
ducts of that locality.
1t is not known just wha'
Messrs. Wann and Scbeleir will do
but as they are numbered among
our very best citizens we trust tha
they will conclude to remain in thiI
county, where they have SO many
friends. Mr.. Wann will probably
