people are as dissimilar as il is posi-

no is an arid country ard must be

BOLD BURGLAR
LOST HIS HAT
S. c. Bonner Frightened Man Who
Tried to Enter His Home

s. @. Bonner, of the Occur d'Alene
Furniture company, has the hat and
is looking for the owner in hopes Of
finding the party who attempted to
burglarize his house last evening.
About eleven o'clock Mr.. Bonner
retired for the night and had been in
bed but few minutes when he heard
some one trying the door. He called
to his wife and asked il she had been
out of the house and was informed
that she had not. He then went to
the door and asked what was wanted,
but received no answer. On opening
the door cautiously he was greeted by
q gust of cold air but no person was
in sight. A few minutes watching
at the window did not reveal the
prowler, and Mr.. Bonner again re-
tired. This morning ON entering
his wood shed he found a black soft
hat lying directly in front of the door.
The proWler evidently had stepped in
to the wood shed to escape detection
and lost his hat, which will be re-
turned should he call at the store Of
the furniture company. MIR. Bonner
stated that this was the second Prov
Ter within the month and is seeking
an explanation.

DIR. McEuen. The board acted ON
his verbal statement hut erring as the
law requires a written resignation.
George Harding, Of the Consumers
Company, stated also that Campbell

one committee to visit the state in
stitut'Ons in the north and another to
visit those in the southeast.
Among the bills introduced was
one by Smith of Nez Perce providing
that railway companies shall furnish

In the senate the business was of
routine character. Some time was
devoted to the discussion of hill by
Butler respecting responsibility for
deaths caused by the careless use Of
firearms. Tho bill provided that such
carelessness should be classed as muir
der in the second degree when it re-
suited in death, but 1t was agreed
that the grade of the crime should be
reduced.
The anti lobby bill was placed on
the calendar. Truitt introduced two
bills, one diverting funds coming into
the state treasury for the agricultural
college to the university and the
other turning similar funds for the
scientific schools into the general uni

pended and he thought people should
know about it. This motion carried.

w. A. Andrew explained TO Mr..

JUGGLING WITH
LOCAL OPTION
House Would Like to Be Rid of it
Without Too Much Fuss

Boise, Idaho, Jan. 24.-Lonal op
ton and anti trust occupied the at
tention of the house yesterday with
the net result that the local option
measure was referEAd to another COM
mlttee, which is supposed to be unfa
yorable to it, while the antitrust bill
uassed the committee Of the whole
and was recommended for passage,
With one dissenting voice only.
The local option Aght was precipi
lated by q representative from the
Judiciary committee recommending
its passage and was accompanied by q
minority report from Conners asking
that the bill Be referred to the judi.
eiary committee solely to pass upon
some legal points, but that the CON-
mittee had assumed authority to take
the bill up on its merits and re-
commenced it for passage. A motion
was made to adopt the minority report
and McCracken moved as substitute
that the majority report be adopted.
During the debate McCracken said
that three OF the speakers against the
measure were on the committee ON
elections and we're a majority Of that
committee. Three Of them, he said,
had spoken with q show Of heat.
Lovesy said chat as a member of

tee, which should have charge Of such
hill, he had promised his constituents
to give them a chance to be heard on
the bill.
A motion 10 adopt the majority
report was finally defeated by 81 %
II. Many friends Of the bill voted
for the motion to send 1t to the cleo
tons committee, but, 1t 10 claimed
BY the OppOnenta. that the vote indi-
Gates an adverse majority. The fact
seems to be that many felt there had
been some sharp practice and that
the vote does not indicate anything
as to the sentiment Of the house.

An extended and highly interest

asked as to its effect upon one or

by a number Of protesting property
owners on that street who made .
most vigorous complaint. alleging
that the street was not benefited in

they were called ON 20 pay for the
grading had been thrown away and
spent In damaging the property In
stead Of benefitting It.
A protest in writing was presented.

covering the ground IS to the worth.
lessness Of the grading, stated that
the actions Of the council In grading
this street were In direct violation
of all laws. Following the reading
of the protests, W. A. Andrew stated
that as It was claimed that the actions
Of the board did not meet with the
requirement OF the law and that the
laws we're constitutional, the board
would have to take some time for the
consideration OF the matter and be I'd !.
vised by the city attorney.

lengthy speech In which he danuuna-
ed the actions Of the board ~ not BE-.

had been made upon the figures COM
piled by an incompetent engineer.
He stated that IL the board knew 20
what extent the property was damag.
ed, he felt sure 1t would not demand
the payment Of this assessments. Us
ing the first 100 feet east Of Fourth
street as an example, he stated that
he had been assessed In the neigh

been neither cut nor all 20 justify
this charge, and had that amount Of
work been done on the street there
would either be q hole OF q knoll ou
the street that would render tFafElC
difficult. The fault he laid with
former Engineer James Edwards,
whom he stated was iucapacitated b
his booze fighting habits.
Il. l.. Gerrish, present engineer
stated that he had computed the m
sessment charges ON the basis Of dR
ures left by Edwards with City CleFl

by w. A. Andrew. He stated thai
they had figured proportionate pric'
