IN BORAH CASE
Trial Attracts Much Public At
tentiOn

Boise, Idaho, Sept. 24.-William
f. Borah, at the threshold of career
in the United States senate, having
been elected to take his seat at the
coming session o. congress, was placed
ON trial yesterday before Judge Ed
ward Whitson in the federal court,
charged with conspiracy to defraud
the United States government out of
title to many thousand acres of tim
Der land in Boise county, wooded
with giant pines.
Indicted with Senator Borah are IL
other persons, while it is claimed the
conspiracy also extended to 108 resi-
dents of southern Idaho, who acted
as entrymen in taking out the timber
claims.
Cloaked under the title Of John
Doe, the attorneys for the government
today disclosed in open court the fact
that former Governor Frank Steunen-
berg was included in the indictment,
and is alleged to have had a leading
part in the so-called conspiracy.
The announcement came as a COM
plete surprise to the community at
large, several of the talesmen exam
ined for jury duty declaring that they
had never even heard 1t intimated
that the ex-governor assassinated by
Harry Orchard, and for alleged parti-
cipatIon in whose murder William ID.
Haywood was recently tried and ac-
quilted. had in any way been connec-
ted with the land frauds investiga-
ton.
Little or no progress was made at
the morning session of court, but dur
ing an extended afternoon sitting the
government attorneys temporarily
passed II men into the jury box. All
of these are subject to further exami-
nation, and to complete examination
by counsel for the defense.
ON HAYWOOD JURY
Additional interest is given to the
case by the fact that one of the men
passed into the box ia Thomas
b. Cess, a loeal-1eal estate dealer
who served as foreman of the Hay
wood jury at the case in which Sena-
tor Borah served as state prosecut-
or. Several of the jurors, TEMPORARY
ly accepted, claimed acquaintance
with Senator Borah, and one declared
openly he held the defendant in high
esteem. He felt, however, that he
could deal out justice to him. Three
proposed jurors, who declared their
belief in Senator Borah's innocence,

WATER FROM
THE RIMROCK
New Company Proposes to Supply
City from Springs

Steps have been taken to give
Occur d'Alene another water system
in which the water will be brought
about nine miles from Rimrock to
the city, where, It is said, an abund
ance Of good, pure water is found.
There are fully % springs of choice
water, some OF which yield 1000 gal
Ions a minute. The chief advantage
is in the fact that the water is Of
such a high grade and an ahund-
ance of IL.

neer Wiley went out to investigate the
water supply and the feasibility of
the gravity system and the cost Of
transportation. II was estimated that
the supply of water was more than
enough for several places like
Occur d'Alene aud the gravity sys-
tenn could be used with the greatest
advantage, Occur d'Alene being over
256 feet below these springs, allow
ing fall of over 25 feet 20 the
mile. The civil engineer made APP
proximate estimates, considering that
$4,000 a mile or less would bring the
water TO town, which would make the
transportation cost ESQ, 600. The
plant, in every detail, 1t was claimed,
need not exceed $3.50, 900, guarantee
ing the best Of water at less than one
half Of the present cost to Occur a.

The company, when organized, pro-
poses to push this with vigor Many
Of the citizens have expressed desire
to take stock in the company.
Those interviewed stated they felt
at the present water rate, a plant

leave no stone unturned to bring It
about. II is stated that they will

District Attorney Ruiek conducted
the juror examination and questioned
the jurors closely as to any feeling
of prejudice against him for his ac-
tive part in securing the indictment
of Senator Borah, and whether they
believed he had acted from personal
motives or In good faith as a public
prosecutor. Nearly all said they had
given the matter but little thought.
They also declared they would not
permit their reverence for Governor
Steunenberg's memory to interfere

ATTRACTS INTEREST
The prominence Of Senator Borah
In the politics of the state, his per-
sonal popularity in this, his home
city, the leading participant in the
trial of W. D. Haywood, who was
charged with the murder Of former
Governor Steunenberg, ana the fact
that more than q. hundred well-known
residents of south Idaho are alleged
to be involved with him in the So
called conspiracy, combined to at
tract an interest to the proceedings
against him practically equal to that
which marked the first of the Wes-
tern Federation of Miners trials.
The courtroom was crowded to
overflowing when Judge Whitson took
the bench at 10 o'clock.
The array of COUNSEL on either side
was imposing. The government,
whose representatives here have been
freely predicting a hearing of sensa-
tional interest, has practically taken
its case out of the hands of the local
district attorney, Norman NJ. Ruiok,
against whom charges of improper
conduct before the grand jury have
been fled, and assigned the matter to
special attorneys trained in timber
law from successful prosecutions in
the western states.
