nesday al Fair Grounds

John s. Boa, a marksman of world
wide reputation, arrived in the city
yesterday to attend the Northwest
shooting tournament which begins
Wednesday. He came direct from New
Haven Conn. where he represents

ment such well known men as Pete

the great body of contestants to the
number of several hundred will flock
in tomorrow.

being able to win a good share of the
prizes this year as there are five
teams in the big shoot and the nim-
rods have been practicing more than
ever before, this year. A close con-
test for the Globe trophy may be ex-
pected as some of the best known
shots in the Northwest are entered for
the event.
Pete HOlOhan, who won the valuable
medal last year. is not eligible for
this contest as he has gone into the
professional class and Fred Dryden.
the man who lost to Pete" only after
a tie had been shot off, and then by
but a few points, is perhaps the most
likely man to pick for the winner.
Pete LOmax who will manage tho
meet came down from Lewiston this
morning and is making all the pre-
liminary arrangements necessary IT,
insure a successful tournament.
Spokane sends a team of Is to the
tournament this year and the Falls

peated Thursday and Friday. the big

fense is holding the prosecution down
to the exact language of the criminal

strict language of the Indictment, and
thus shorten the trial, and prevent the

Jury Panel Dissatisfied.
When court convened this afternoon
the sheriff presented 81 names from
which list an attempt will be made to
draw a jury. Many members of the
panel Immediately sought excuses
from Judge Wood. Nine tenths of
the panel are farmers and stockmen.
They urge that their interests would
suffer if compelled to remain away any
length of TINT. Only few were per-
mitted to go home.
The advent of the panel, which is
the largest ever summoned in this
county. caused for the first time the
court room to be comparatively well
filled. The women seem to lack ,-.-
terest in the trial. Only two SO faI
have been present outside of the Hay
wood family.
Eleven men who have been locked
up since Thursday knowing they are
unlikely to be retained, feel they have
been imposed on. The court listened
to their excuses.
The examination of talesmen has
begun. Attorneys on both sides think
the jury will be obtained from tn:s
panel. A number of witnesses on both
sides have arrived and others are en-
route.
