his guards yesterday as he left the
courtroom after being under cross
fire for two hours.
Darrow's method were more ex-
acting than that of Richardson in
the Haywood trial. He is devOting
himself to picturing the worst side
of the state witness to make the
jury hate and therefore disbelieve
him.
Senator Borah stated last night
that it is not the intention to use
Adams as a witness in the Petit
bone case and he will not be
brought to Boise.
Darrow and Borah exchanged hot
words because of Borah's Interrupt
lions. Borah was in fighting mood
all day. The greater part of the
examination related to the Bradley
affair.

BOND SALE NOT
YET CERTAIN

VIII the 100000 worth of Az
per cent bonds, bids for which will
be opened Dec. 16, be fioated?
Mayor Moore this morning express
ed his doubts. He said that during
his trip to Chicago he was told that
the bonds which were then being
offered for per cent could be sold
at Az, but that was before the
money stringency came on. This
is the reason given for doubling
that there will be any bidders at
Az. Eastern cities have fioated
bonds recently at per cent. and
have found ready market at that
price. If the bonds cannot be dis
posed of at Az per cent there is
nothing to do but offer them at
ga or 5.
Meanwhile. the work of con-
structing new bridge at Washing
ton st. is being paid for in warrants
drawing 6 per cent. Unless the city
dsiposes of the bridge bonds soon
it will be considerably loser The
interest on the warrants issued in
payment for the Washington st.
work already amounts to more
than $4,000.

months ago, the Occur dAlene

have got around to provide a city
water supply other than from the
river into which the Occur d'Alene
sewer empties. The Costello con-
tracing firm has just about finish
ed the work and many residences
are already connected with the new
Occur d'Alene system.
Meanwhile it will be three

PRESSMEN CHEER
BOXER OF CRAFT

A number of printing pressmen
attended the boxing contests at the
S. A. A. c. last night. They secured
seats around the ringside and put
in most of their time cheering Al
Hammond on to victory. Hammond
is member of the local printing
pressmen's union and was for sew
eral years secretary of the local
union. 1t is needless to say that all
the members of his craft watch
with interest his performances as
an athlete and are proud of his
ability.
Hammond takes great care of
himself and Is total abstainer and
so mild hammered that the average
man would be deceived into feeling
at liberty to abuse him with i'm
punity,
Hammond's performance last
night, when he bested Earl Ritchy
of Portland, Is pronounced his most
clever exhibition as boxer. He
will participate in the contests in
Portland in about two weeks, when
local athletes will meet the best
athletes Of that city.

VOLUNTEERS TO.
CLOSE DOORS
FRONT Av. SALOON MAN SAYS
LAW OUGHT 10 BE OBEYED
AND WILL DO NO BUSINESS
ON SUNDAY.

NJ r. Bowman, proprietor of the
Nez Perez saloon at Gil front av.,
will close his place at ~ o'clock
and keep it closed all day Sunday,
Notwithstanding the fact that the
breweries and liquor dealers are
willing to continue their support
to saloons that remain open in spite
of the Sunday law enforcement in
movement in this city. In giving
his reasons for so doing Mr.. Bow
man takes a position rather novel
among saloon interests.
Regardless of the merits or de-
merits of the law" he says, lit
ought to be enforced while it is a
law, and it ought to be obeyed
without the necessity of enforce
ment. Saloon men us well as
others are governed by the will OF
the majority, and the majority
makes the law. That leaves moth
ing left but to obey while the law
is in force, | am going to close up.
in the three months | have been
running the saloon no man has got
drunk there, and no man shall in
future. No drunken man will be
sold liquor in my place. There is
no reason why saloon should not
be conducted in an unobjectionable
and law-abiding manner. 1t can
be run that way and should be.
True we are assessed a heavy IL
cense for every day in the year,
but if there is a Sunday closing law
on the books we ought to OBJ
serve it."
Mr.. Bowman is rather unique
character in the saloon business.
He is past GO years of age and has
only been in the business for three
months. He takes the view that n
saloon should be conducted exactly
as any other line of trade and
should be 50 regarded by the pub
lie. His rule that no drunken man
shall be sold liquor in his place is
what makes him unique figure.
The general limit on the amount
of liquor sold a man Is gagged by
the amount of money he happens
to have The NeZ Perez license is
held by the Schade Brewing Co.
