NORTH IDAHO CONTESTS
Debating Teams Preparing for
Contests.

The North Idaho and Panhandle
debating teams are becoming active
and are giving trying out contests
In the various towns interested.
Those towns interested In the north
Idaho organization are Grangeville,
Lewiston, both the Normal and the
high school, Moscow, Wallace and
Occur d'Alene. The first inter-
school contest will be held December

fected, being organized by Professors
T.. NJ. Hume, of Moscow, and Cal
houn, OF Lewiston.
The Panhandle association in
cludes Wallace, Standpoint, Occur
d'Alene and Mullen. Those in the
local team held contest Friday, the
subject being "Are Trades Unions a
Benefit to the Country?" Other con
tests will follow. These are proving
very interesting and instructive.
The students are occupied in getting
first class material on these subjects.
Heretofore they have been greatly
assisted in their work by the litera-
ture at their dipsoasl at the public
library; however, there are certain
magazines to be secured to help them
in the work so that the public library
has called for absent numbers in these
magazines. Amy one having any Of
the following numbers will confer
a favor by leaving them at the public
library:

STEVE ADAMS CASE

Rathdrum, Oct. &c. The case of
the state of Idaho versus Steve
Adams, charged with the murder of
Tyler in the Marble creek ooun try,
about three years ago, was called to-
day in the district court. The de-
fendent asked for a continuance Of
the case to the next term of court.
c. l.. Hoffman argued the case at
some length, stating the grounds for
a continuance we're ample inasmuch
as Attorney DaTrow, the leading at
torney for the defense, was absent /;
that he should bs present and that
barrow vas detained at Boise on 40
count of the Pettibone case. Attor
ney knight replied stating that more
time had already escaped than was
good for the cause of Justice; that
the defendants attorneys were able
men, that the Western Federation
was backing Adams; that the Petit
bone case could be postponed; that
Adams was charged with q serious
crime; that 1t Was hard to get Wit
nesses, even at present; that this case
Is one of the most important in the
present term and that il should not
be postponed any longer. II was or
dered set by Judge Wood for Oct. %.

SCOTT is DISCHARGED

Rathdrum, Oct. l6 Today the
case of the state of Idaho versus :.
7. Scott, publisher of the Press,
charged with criminal libel, was dis
missed by Judge W. W. Wood, who
is holding court here. The attorneys
for the defense moved that the infor-
nation be quashed. The court lie
tened to the arguments and then or
dered the case dismissed and the de-
fendent discharged.
This case grew out of an article
which appeared in the Occur d'Alene
Evening Press, attacking the conduct
of Bartlett Sinclair while he was
treasurer of Rigal province in the
Philippine Islands. Sinclair fled a
complaint charging Scott with Grim
inal libel. The case has been long
drawn out, Judge Morgan having dis
missed it ON the failure of the then
county attorney to file an information
after being ordered to do so by the
court. The supreme court later or
dered 1t filed. but very few thought
anything would develop out of the
case. 1t was commended, at the time,
that il was a political move to effect
the results of the last election mas
much as Scott was chairman Of the
democratic county central committee.
The republican leaders denied this
allegation, claiming 1t was a personal
move ON the part OF Sinclair.

latest date is effective. neither side
knows exactly where it stands.
Neither will give out figures.
Mr.. hartman arrived in the city
yesterday, but did not attend the
court proceedings. Mr.. Fish was in
court throughout the day.
Chief interest in the struggle cen
tered in the court room of Judge
Ball. where both sides we're lined
up at the opening of court for and
against making permanent the tenn.
porary injunction issued Monday in
response to the petition of MIR. Fish,
whereby 2s6, 731 shares of stock we're
for the time being withdrawn from
the Hartman voting strength.
Mr.. Fish was in the court room In
person, attended by bis attorneys,
Messers Lehman, Y. Culvett and
Farrar, while William Nelson Crom-
we'll of New York led the fight against
the injunction in behalf of MIR. Har.
riman.
PROPOSES COMPROMISE
As the court opened, the Hartman
attorneys moved for the setting aside
OF the temporary injunction.
Attorney Herrick, acting for Presi
dent Harahan of the Illinois Central
railroad, asked that Judge Ball 80
far modify the injunction as to per-
NIT the voting of the enjoined stock
at the meeting, it being agreed that
il the decision of the court should
later make the injunction permanent
the vote in which that stock was cast
should be void.
Mr.. Leman, for Mr.. Fish, opposed
this idea with vigor, and after some
debate Judge Ball ordered a recess
of 80 minutes for consultation be
tween the attorneys.
At the conclusion of the long con-
ference of the attorneys, MIR. Herrick
fled an affidavit by President Hara-
han to the effect that the application
for the injunction was without merit
and was in fact part of the design
of Stuyvesant Fish to secure his own
election to the presidency of the
Illinois Central. MIR. Herrick then
commenced his argument for dissolu-
tion of the injunction. 1t was de-
Clared in court by the attorneys for
President Harahan that of the $780,
900 shares of outstanding stock of
the Illinois Central, President Har.
ahan holds proxies for 500, 600
shares. 1t was further declared that
others representing %, shares OF
this stock will be present at the
stockholders meeting and will vote
with President Harahan.
Judge Ball declared that be would
be compelled to modify the injunc-
tion issued Monday in favor of Stuy-
venant Fish. He advised the two
factions to reach an agreement.
By agreement of both parties the
shares of stock enioined Monday will
not be voted at today's annual meet.
ing. 1t was also agreed that the cleo
ton shall he considered regular with
ont voting these shares.

HARRIMAN=FISH
FIGHT NEAR END
Both Men Claim Victory in To-
Days Contest

Chicago, Oct. &c. e. H. Harri
man was yesterday by an order of
court deprived of the voting power
of $50, 731 shares Of illinois Central
stock in the annual meeting Of that
railroad company, which opens here
at noon today. The order of the
court was practically Identical with
the MODIFICATION asked by the at
torneys of Mr.. Hartman Both sides
claim victory, Mr.. Fish because
the enjoined shares will not be effee-
tive at the election, and Mr.. HarIi-
man because his modification was
secured.
The shares of stock ruled out are
those held by the Union Pacific rail-
road company, the Railroad Securi
ties company of New Jersey, and the
Mutual Life Insurance company of
New York, againt which a temper.
airy injunction was Monday issued
by Judge Bell in the superior court.
The court yesterday modified the
injunction by permitting the sharAs
to be voted under the condition that
if any one of these shares should
have a decisive effect on any voter
requiring the entire vote, it is the
to be null aud void.
In other words. Mr.. Fish is given
by the court handicap of $50, 73l
votes and in order to defeat him on
any motion or resolution which comes
before the annual meeting, MIR. Har-
riman and his friends must cash 2S6,
73l votes more than are cast by Mr..
Fish and his friends
The decision of Judge Ball was the
result of an agreement reached be
tween Thomas Nelson Cromwell,
representing Mr.. Hartman, and
Judge Farrar of New Orleans, who
acted for Mr.. Fish.
Attorney Herriek, in speaking in
support of the modification, declares
that President Harahan of the Him
OILS Central held proxies to the amount
of 100000 shares, and that other
stockholders representing $4,000
shares would vote with Mr.. Harri-
man. This included the use, 731
shares enjoined yesterday, leaving
the claim of the Hartman people of
their voting strength at 308, 900
shares in round numbers.
Mr.. HerriGk declared that Stuy-
vesant Fish had voted by proxy the
Railroad Securities shares and the
5000 shares of the Mutual Life
Insurance company of New Jersey,
proceeding which he claims is
illegal.
BELIEVE THEY WILL WIN.
AS the matter stands tonight,
both side believe that victory is
in their grasp. Both are of the opin-
ion that they hold the greater num-
Der of proxies, hut the actual facts
in this connection cannot be guessed
with any accuracy. 1t is admitted
in this connection by the attorneys
on both sides that many stockholders
have issued duplicate and even tripli-
cate proxies, and as the proxy of
