mot guilty." was the verdict of
the jury in whose hands rested
the fate of Senator William E.
Borah, and the verdict was render
ed so promptly as to leave no doubt
of its meaning.
The case came to a termination
on Wednesday evening. When the
government had rested, Attorney
Hawley, without putting on a wit
ness TO. the defense, moved that
the court instruct the jury to re-
turn a verdict of not guilty, on the
ground that the prosecution had
failed to make a case. The court
preferred that the jury take the
case and overruled the motion.
Senator Borah then took the stand
in his own behalf He gave a can
did statement of his connection
with the Barber Lumber Co., as
general counsel. He was subjected
to searching cross-examination,
but came through the ordeal
stronger than ever.
The defense then rested and the
prosecution consumed severa
hours in argument. When the
prosecution had finished, the de-
Tense announced that they sub
mitled their case without argu-
ment. There was a delay while
the Judge prepared his instructions.
The jury retired just long enough
to take one ballot and prepare the
verdict, and in fourteen minutes
filed back. The court room was
crowded with friends of Senator
Borah, and when the words "not
guilty" were read, a shout went up
that was echoed and re-echoed.
AS soon as the news reached the
outside, bells were rung and the
city fire department made a run
through the principal streets, stop
ping at the Idanha hotel, where
Senator Borah, surrounded by sew
eral hundreds of his fellow citi-
zens, was escorted. A brass band
appeared and as the senator reach
ed the hotel steps played "Hail to
the Chief"
The streets about the hotel were
crowed with friends of the senator
and others, and Senator Borah was
cheered again and again, Senator

PHONE COMPANY ORGANIZE

Solicitation for subscribers for
stock and for phones was author
lied. 1t is estimated that 40 bust
ness and 60 residence phones will
be taken, indicating a revenue of
$3.50 per month. The expenses of
operation are figured at 800 per
month. If the figures are correct,
it appears like very good invest
ment. These rates are cheaper than
any of the big companies give.
But even should the stock not
pay a cent of dividend at the start,
town pride. to say nothing of the
conveniences an exchange would
afford, should be sufficient to in
duce liberal subscriptions to the
stock.
1t is up to the people of the town
to build local phone system, so
let the men of Bonners Ferry come
forward and show their enterprise
and public spirit, by each taking a
few shares of stock.

INDICATE BORAH
Jury Makes Short Work of Attempt to Besmirct
His Great Name

Borah thanked his hearers for their
demonstration and the confidence
they had reposed in him through
out the trial.
Senator Borah held an impromtu
reception in the court room and
another in the lobby of the hotel,
where he was called upon for a
speech. Wherever he went during
the evening he was cheered and
congratulated.
At the Idanha hotel demonstra-
ton Senator Borah was introduced
by James H. Hawley, his leading
counsel. Mr.. Hawley declared the
indictment and trial of Senator
Borah on "the flimsey evidence
brought before the jury was "the
most damnable outrage and iniqui-
ty ever perpetrated in the guise OF
justice" He was loudly cheered.
Senator Borah said it was not a
proper time for him to express his
opinion of the events of the last
months.
81 have felt the humiliation
deeply" he continued, especially
because of the manner in which
the name of my dead friend, Frank
Steunenberg, has been brought
into the case. l am glad to say ]

who gave up his life for his state
and his country.

trial have come from the other side.

friend of Frank Steuenberg. Again,
| can say to you l am proud OF
that friendship. But there are al
ways some hyenas about who find
their only delight in the defama.
ton of the dead"
The demonstration over Senator
Borah's acquittal was continued
until late in the night, with street
parades, band concerts, fireworks
and a general celebration. Senator
Borah made a second speech, in
which he again expressed his ap.
probation of the confidence of his
townspeople.

He was possessed of sufficient
property to enable him to have
lived comfortably. He had been
offered $500 cash for his ranch.
He had notes in the house upon
which is due $40. 1t is reported
that he has $4,000 in the Hibernisn
bank in San Francisco, but this is
not verified.
He lived miserly and in filth.
The filth caused such stencil that
men could not remain in the house
to care for him in bis last hours.
He was buried yesterday.
His property was willed to John
j. Conway of Butte, first cousin,
who arrived Thursday and took
charge of the remains. The will
was made year or two ago.
