LEGAL PHASE
IN new LIGHT
Prosecution Denies Reserve
In liver Case Has Meets
and Bounds

The prosecution of the case of the
state of Idaho VS.. Edward Raboin ct
al, charged with malicious destruc-
tion of property by tearing down
fences and buildings erected on a
tract of land near Spalding, claimed
by the government as an indian re-
serve and held by Ziver by a United
States patent, promises to bring new
phases into the action when the pre-
liminary examination is held on June
%.
One of the legal contentious of
Ziver will be that the land now claim
ed as an Indian reserve is not desig-
mated as such by metes and bounds in
the act of congress by which the re-
serve was created
On the other hand, it is claimed that
the act of congress provided for the
establishment of the reserve formerly
known as "the old BOOM" and this
ground was a narrow strip along the
river and does not include the tract
to which Ziver secured a patent and
over which the trouble with the gov
ernment representatives has arisen.
Another contention Of Ziver is that
after the government had issued him
a patent to the land he was entitled
to a hearing to show why he should
not vacate the property on account
of the same being an Indian reserve,
but instead of being summoned to ap-
pear before such a hearing he was
peremptorily ordered to vacate the
land and In default of complying with
the demands of the government rep
resentatives his buildings and fences
have been destroyed.

Their Views on the
Panel

James H. Hawley, leading counsel
statement respecting the jury:
We are thoroughly satisfied with
the jury. We have 12 fair minded
men who will do even justice between
the state and the defendant. They
are all good citizens of Ada county
and the state of Idaho. They are men,
l believe, without the slightest preju-
dices, and we will await their verdict
in confidence after the evidence is all
in,'
ardson of counsel for the defense, ex-
pressed themselves in this manner on
the same subject:
"The Haywood jury is made UP of
eight republicans, three democrats and
one prohibitionist. 1t consists of nine

building contractor and one foreman

OFFICIAL CLASH:
GREEN RESIGNS
Interesting Session of VII
lage Council at
CuldeSaC
Special to Evening Teller.


CULDESAC, Idaho, June 6.-The
village council met last night in spe
cial session and had a rather inter
estlng meeting. Mr.. John. Green pre-
sented his written resignation as vol
lage attorney, and gave as his reason
for resigning that the police magis-
trate avs brin3ng criminal cases and
trying the same without his being no.
tined or advised, and that he did not
wish to take a salary from taxpayers
OF the village unless his services were
needed
In discussing the matter it was as
certained that there had been certain
cases before the police magistrate in
which the attorney had advised the
dismissal on the ground that there was
no evidence sufficient to convict, but
the police magistrate went on and
tried the cases and then dismissed
them.
Mr.. Harmon, the police magistrate,
said in defending himself, that he had
misunderstood Mr. Green, and apollo
gized for what he had done, and Mr..
Green finally withdrew his resignation.
Another interesting feature of the
meeting was that it had been reported
during the day that the meeting was
for the purpose of deposing Mr.. Rich
ard Conwell as marshal, and this re-
port prompted a lot of ladies to get
up a petition which was signed by IL
ladies of the town, asking the village
council to retain Mr.. Conwell in the
office as they thought he had made
good officer, and it was also under
stood by the signers of this petition
that If Mr. Conwell was retained he
would put all the women out of the
saloons. and also out of town and
across the railroad, but when the pc
tition was read there was no one to
make charges against Mr. Conwell and
was done only to read the pc
tition and the names of the signers.
After discussing the matter Of clos
ing the saloons promptly at 12 o'clock
and regulating the dance halls up to
that time the meeting adjourned to
meet again next Monday night

MOSCOW, Idaho, June 6.-Mrs.
Kittie e. Dwyer, wife of defendant,
william Dwyer, was called to the wit
ness stand just before the noon re-
cess. Her testimony was largely con-
t~adictory to that given by the entry
men who testified against her husband
and the other defendants.
While Register r. H. Bartlett was
on the witness stand the defense pro-
duced the letter of dismissal of Joseph
Molloy from the Lewiston land office
The defense tried to make it appear
that MoIloy had lost his job because of
mi9pHnduct and that the government
was trying to convict the defendants
BY man whom 1t could not trust.
Attorney Ruick said he had a hand
IN the dismissal Of Molloy and that
the government agents who reported
against Molloy were in court and If
the defense persisted In its demands
to have the letter Of dismissal intro
duced as evidence the government
would place these agents on the stand
and show that the defense was mis-
taken as to the real reason why Mol
10y was dismissed.
The court refused to permit the let
ter to be introduced evidence. Bart
lett was called largely to identify rec
ords, his testimony being largely docu-
mentary.

UNDER BONDS
Held to Answer for Murder
of Rankin at
Sites
Special to Evening Teller.

Special to Evening Teller.
| Sites, Idaho. June 6.-Sam Ellen
wood, charged with the murder of Sid
ney Rankin, was held to the district
| court by Justice of the Peace Roberts
and his bond fixed at $4,000, which
were furnished.
The preliminary examination was
concluded last night and while the
evidence in the case was largely cir
cumstantial the court held that Ellen
wood should make his defense before
the district court. The matter Of
bonds was referred to County Attor-
ney Griffith and upon his recommen-
dation the defendant was allowed his
liberty upon the furnishing of salts
factory bond in the sum of $4,000.
The only direct testimony connect
ing Ellenwood with the crime was
given by John Samuels and this was
practically impeached by the witness
es placed on the stand by the defense.
The testimony of Samuels' wife was
also contradicted by two Indian wom-
en- and it is suggested that sensational
developments may change the COM
plexion Of the case before the trial
before the district court.
Ellenwood was placed on the stand
and told minutely the circumstances
leading up to the assault and claims
that Samuels is the person who struck
the blows. He states he was sitting
on his horse talking and that Rankin
was standing by the horses head. He
told Rankin to get away when, with
out warning Rankin struck him on the
chin and knocked him from his mount.
AS he arose from the ground Rankin
rushed upon him and while they were
struggling Samuels approached from
behind and struck Rankin in the back
of the head, Telling him to the ground.
He says it was just getting dusk and
he could not tell whether Samuels had
a rock in his hand or not, but as soon
as Rankin was struck his body became
limp and he sank to the ground. FL
lenwood then got on his horse and
went home, near Kooskia, and the next
morning Samuels came to him and
told him he had some bad news for
him, that Rankin was dead and that
he, Ellenwood, had better run away
as the officers were looking for him
He says that he told Samuels that he
had not struck Rankin and would not
leave. He then caught his horse and
tied the animal near his house and
awaited the arrival of the officers.
A bloody rock, which is supposed to
have been used in the assault upon
Rankin, was found in the possession
of Samucls' wife. who went to the
spot where Rankin was lying early in
the morning.
When placed upon the stand Mrs
Samuels stated that she went to Ran
kin during the night and covered him
with blankets and returned early in
the morning to see IL he weH still
there. She stated she followed the
main highway in going and coming
from Rankin's side. It was proven by
two witnesses that Mrs. Samuels crept
along the river bank and through the
brush to reach Rankin and did not
appear on the public road
II Is these features OF the case which
We're brought out by the defense which
are expected to develop new phases
OF the case before the trial of Ellen
wood takes place.

tered his feet. BY series of ques-
uons Mr.. Ruick brought out the fact
tnat this was not the first time Benton
nao failed to take parties upon their
Claims, saying at the time that It was
mot necessary for an entryman first to
so upon his claim prior to filing.
10 this manner OF cross examination
attorney Moore objected. saying that
'nere is no law requiring an entryman
70 make personal examination of the

pheo that in the famous Van Gesner
