EAU CLAIRE MEN, INDICTED WITH
BORAH, IN FEDERAL COURT
TOMORROW.
EVIDENCE NOT SUFFICIENT.
Defendants Frame This Defense and Will
Also Declare Action Outlawed
by Limitations Statute.

MADISON, Wis, Nov. 5.-[Special.l
The sequel to the case of Senator
iBorah, indicted by the grand jury in
Idaho, but afterwards acquitted of con-
spiracy in land fraud, will be enacted in
the United States district court here
Wednesday afternoon, when two Eau
Claire men will be given hearing.
At the time the indictment was re-
turned against Borah, indictments We're
returned against Sumner G. Moon and
J. Z. Barber of Eau Claire. The
charge is that individuals took up land
out in Idaho and turned it over to the
Barber Land company, it being alleged
that the whole plan of taking up the
land was not that the individuals should
be homesteaders but that they ultimate
by expected that some company owning
Il large tract might cut the timber.
May Have to Go to Idaho.
The hearing here before Judge Quares
is to determine whether the Eau Claire
men will be compelled to go to Idaho to
stand trial.
When Barber and Moon were indicted
Abe papers were sent to United States
.District Attorney w. G. Wheeler Of
GAINESVILLE. He got out warrants. AS
a man cannot be taken from one United
States court district to another with
out a preliminary hearing, or requisitiOn,
this was given them at Eau Claire.
They were held and technically are in
;the custody of the United States mar
shall. Barber and Moon appeal by suing
out Il writ of habeas corpus.

On Wednesday District Attorney
Wheeler will make his return at the
same time asking an order of the court
40 take them to Idaho for trial. The de-
PENDANTS Will demur to this and then
there will be arguments. The defend
ants will contend that there is not suf-
1icient evidence to hold them and that
the statute of limitation applies. The
district attorney will argue that it is
not three years since the last alleged
overt act was committed.
If the writ of habeas corpus is granted
the district attorney may appeal the
ease. II on the other hand the writ is
denied the defendants will then ask
leave to introduce evidence to show their
Innocence Of the charge. Attorney Bun

season, although shorter in number of

1t is true the season has not been so
favorable as other seasons, but this con-
dition is widespread. The corn crop in
the States of the Union, where it is the
premier crop of the farmers, is subject
to frost. Frost has undoubtedly material
ly reduced the total yield in places this
year, but after every allowance has been
made for this and other causes the fact
remains that the total grain in Alberta
will be the largest in history, while in
the other provinces the yield will not fall

BOARD TO ~STAND PAT"
Pewaukee School Directors May Refusc
to Reinstate Teacher-Mass
Meeting November 8.

PEWAUKEE, Wis, Nov. 4.-[Spe-
cial lin accordance with the petition
signed by many residents of the village
the school board has called special
meeting for Friday evening, November
s, at the high school, at which their ac
ton in calling for the resignation of
Miss Helen Roberts, the assistant prin-
cipal, which caused a walkout of the
students, will be considered. The indi-
cations are that the room will not be
large enough to hold the crowd that
will attend. The impression prevails
that the board will ''stand pat" on its
action in dIscharging Miss Roberts and
interesting developments are expected.
If the board fails to reinstate the teach
er it seems likely that their designations
will be demanded.

NEW COUNTY OFFICER.
Highway Commissioner Must Be Chosen
by All Boards Except That
of Milwaukee.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Nov. f.
W. o. Hotchkiss, CHIEF of the highway
division Of the Wisconsin State Geologi-
cal survey, has sent a circular letter to
all the county boards in the state except
that of Milwaukee county, explaining
the new good roads laws The letter i'll
part is as follows:
According to these laws it is the duty OF
each county board at its next meeting:
L. 10 lay out prospective system OF
county highways, which, 50 far as possible,
shall be the main roads to market, which
must connect with each other, and extend
into every town.
>. To elect some competent engineer OF
experienced road builder as count highway
commissioner, and fix his compensation.
3. To levy a county tax Of not less than
one-fourth nor more than two mills on the
assessed valuation of all county property
for the county road and bridge tund.
These laws change the method of securing
county aid for highway building Under
the. Old law the towns raised the tax, kept
it i'll their own treasures. and lad direct
charge of the work. The county money
was turned over to the town upon salts
factory completion of the road. Under this
county treasurer, and the county highway
commissioner has charge Of the work. The
towns will petition for aid through then
board of supervisors exactly as heretofore
1t is evident that the Office of highway
commissioner will be one of the most i'm
portant in the county. If the proper men
are selected they will spend these large
sums with efficiency, and also exert a great
influence on road building in the county
outside Of their jurisdiction. Consequently
it will be q wise thing first to select a MAI
him salary enough to get him. An incapu
bic or inexperienced man can easily waste
more money than the salary of a good mar
would amount to.
The county board is given power to pur
chase such modern road building machin
cry, quarries, gravel pits, as are needed.

Most of the States of the Union felt

spring were everywhere apparent. Corn
had been planted two and sometimes three
times, the winter wheat suffered, and
generally there was a nervous feeling as
the retarded growth was in evidence. From
the Dakotas to Texas the feeling Of dread
existed, and the fears were entertained
that the crop of corn, wheat, oats and
barley would be a distinct failure. How
far this was the case is best left to those
