MUNTER CHARGE
IS DISMISSED

One the grounds that the evil
dence submitted failed to sustain
the charge, Judge Chadwick, sitting
for Judge KEENAN,. yesterday dis
missed the proceedings brought by
County Treasurer Erwin to disbar
Judge AdOlph Munter. The latter
was accused of fraud in connection
with fees in civil case. He with
drew 5000 deposited with the treas
urer to cover costs in the case and
later withdrew the amount when
a decision was rendered in favor OF
his client. An appeal was taken to
the supreme court and the treas
urcr then demanded return of the
cost security.
Judge Munter cOntended that he
had a right to withdraw the de
post on the superstition that the
case was concluded and that he
did not receive notice of the APP
peal. He did not have the amount
necessary when it was demanded
and held that he was not legally
bound to return it. The court
ruled that Judge Munter is morally
bound to return the deposit, but
found no evidence of fraud.

TO PAY NURSE
So A DAY

Within the next few days DR..
Charles V. Genoway, head of the
board of health, will address a com
munication to the city council ask
ing that it provide for an extra
nurse at the isolation hospital at a
salary Of S. day. A salary of
$3.50 a day is already provided for.
This sum goes to Mrs. A. S. Hosler,
wife of Superintendent Hosler. But
with the numerous cases of con.
tagious diseases which the hospital
is now accommodating, another
nurse will be needed, and DR..
Genoway says 1t is impossible to
get competent nurses for the
handling of smallpox and other
cases for $3.50 day.
The health board is expected
soon to recommend to the council
that new hospital building be
added to the present isolation
building. AS DR.. Genoway puts it,
Spokane is city and not a town,
but the present isolation hospital
is large enough only to accommo.

KOW BYRNE WAS
ABOLISHED

Was Mayor Daggett responsible
for keeping DR.. p. S. Byrne out OF
the race for the democratic nomina-
ton for mayor? This question is
being asked by those who know
that the mayor called on Byrne
when it became noised around that
the doctor would make the race.
After the conference that follow
ed. Doc Byrne announced his with
dvawal. But maybe that was
merely coincidence. .... =
Il is known that DR.. Byrne had
made up his mind to declare him
self and had been pledged consid-
cradle support. The city hall ma

Keep all other democrats but Mayor

dsuocratic vote that can be spared

Ii is claimed the Butte printers
who have been locked ont for some
time past will return to work at
the terms offered by the publish

camp say this action has been rec

they have no information, but be

have been left to a board of ar
bitration. The Butte publishers
are members OF the Newspaper

HIGHLANDER HAS DOUBTS

There should be no trouble in
securing pledges from the demo-
cratic candidates for Office in the
coming city election for NUM-
cipal light and power plant" sal:
a Highlander today. The only
question is how much dependence
can be placed in a promise, written
or verbal, of the city hall democrat.
The party was pledged for the
direct primary and fought it. The
initiative and referendum law is
another party pledge that was dis
regarded.
The Central Labor union should
be able to get all the democratic
pledges desired, but what assur-
ance is there that reliance can be
placed on those promises?'

TELLS WHY He
OPENED HER
LETTER

That he did open Miss Crooks
letter. read the remarks therein
concerning himself. and place
ouestion mark on the offending
mage with his initials. was ad-
mitted by Prof. Cloyd last night in
the high school hearing. In de-
Tense Of his action Prof. Cloyd said
that the letter had come in his
mail on account of being enclosed
in a high school envelope, and that
he opened it without noticing to
whom it was addressed. When he
learned what it contained he con-
suited with Superintendent Tormey
and several members of the board
before he forwarded it to Miss
Crook.
Prof. Cloyd denied ever seeing
the other letter Miss Reed believes
he opened before it reached her.
He claimed that all he knew OF this
missive was what Miss Crook her
self had told him. He admitted be-
lief that Miss Crook was disloyai
to him as head of the high school,
but told of a time when school
opened last fall when she promise:
to do better and agreed to call the
opened letter a closed incident.
The professors admission to
opening the letter was the source
of several sarcastic passages be-
tween Attorney Post for the com
plainants and the witness. Cloyd
held that under the circumstances
he thought he had a right to keep
the letter in his possession until
he had consulted with his superior
officers.
Superintendent Tormey, as a
witness for the defense, asserted
that he considered Miss Crook dis
loyal as a teacher and strongly sup
ported Pro-. Cloyd. He asserted
that his attitude was non-partisan,
however, and only in the interest
of truth. The subject of Mr. Cloyd's
election by the board came up in
the course of his examination, and
later President Phair had letter
Of endorsement of Cloyd from a
member of the school board OF
Wheeling read. 1t was sent to the
board in reply to inquiry before
Cloyd was chosen.
w. J. Trimbe, of the history de
partment, took the stand and testi
fed that Miss Kate Reed had ad
vised him to go direct to the board
for supplies and had endeavored tc
enlist him against the superinten
dent and principal. uBt he put
away all temptation to join an in
surgent movement and after thai
he noticed that Miss Reed didn't
seem to like him any more.
Miss Grace Moore, also of the
high school faculty, testified to be

with Miss Reed. for the reason that
he did not approve Of dancing anG

Wrists With Jack Knife Sunday
Morning. Dependent Because Of
illness. Did Not Awaken Man With
Whom he Was Sleeping.

L y Z +
/ Ole GermanSOn, wealthy Nor
Iwegian farmer, residing a short dis
lance north Of Sawyer, cut his
throat from ear to ear with dull
knife and fearfully cut both wrists,
lsevering the cords, in an attempt to
take his life about O'Clock Sunday
morning. The man did the fearful
act in his bed in the Sawyer hotel,
and SO quietly did he go about his
work, that Ole Dalager who was
sleeping with him, did not know that
anything was wrong until some of
the hotel employees ran into the room
occupied by the two men, A surgeon
was called at once and the wounds
of the man attended to. The fact
that the knife had not severed the
jugular alone is the reason that he
is alive and on fair way to re-
covery today.
Germanson had been about the
hotel all day and did not seem to
be in gloomy spirits. True he had,
been i'll for some time of rheumatism,
but was growing better. He had re.
turned from Minnesota recently
where he was operated upon for, ap-
pendicitus, and it is thot that on
account of his illness he became de-
mented. The man was removed to
the county hospital in Minot where it
is said that he will recover. German
son is unmarried.
A minute after Germanson. cut his
throat, he was sorry of the act and
tried in vain to wake Delager, who
is a sound sleeper. The noise which
he made aroused the SER

Germanson does not like to talk Of
the subject and in referring to says
only, "It's a bad mess"
He is not drinking man. 1t is be-
lieved that Germanson will attempt
the deed again if he gets well, and
he will be closely watched.
