CHARGE OF MAKING HAND BOOK
Two Defendants to Be Arraigned To-
morrow.

On a charge of making a hand book on
the races Bayard G. Wrenn and Frank
Shore, both proprietors of bicycle repair
shops, were taken into custody shortly
after O'Clock yesterday afternoon by De-
tective Mullen and Sergt. Lee of the first
precinct The defendants furnished bond
in the sum of $500 each for their appear
ance in the Police Court.
Attorney w. E. Ambrose appeared for the
defendants today and an agreement was
made by Prosecuting Attorney Ralph Given
and Attorney Ambrose to postpone the ar
raignment until tomorrow. Then, it is
stated, the men will enter their pleas and
will probably demand trials by jury.
Wrenn is charged with making a hand
book on the races at his bicycle shop, go
9th street, and the information will con-
tain four counts, alleging that he bet "a
with George A. Lashborn on the result of
a horse race, 81 with Augustus Abbott. 81
with George w. Derene and divers sums of
money with persons unknown to the prose-
cutting attorney.
Shore is charged with making handbook
at his bicycle shop, 1911 New York avenue.
The information has three counts, alleging
that he bet $50 with Clarence L. Miller,
$40 on another date with Miller and divers
sums with several persons unknown to the
prosecuting attorney. The preparation of
the lengthy Information against the de-
PENDANTS occupied the attention of Prose-
cutting Attorneys Ralph Given and John
Weyrich during the day.
Inc arrest or Wrenn and Shore was made
yesterday afternoon at Wrenn's store, In
9th street. The policemen visited the store
shortly after o'clock and, they say, their
first look confirmed their belief that the
hand book was being made in the store.
Shore was found there also. When the
policemen entered, 1t Is stated, several of
the ten men in the store were writing
names of horses and amounts on slips of
paper, and a sheet of what appeared to be
bets on the races was found.
Both Wrenn and Shore were taken into
custody and the others were taleen to the
station house to be summoned as Witnesses.
At the station the men in custody were
searched and, it is said. many slips of paper
and envelopes were found on them which
are alleged to be bets.
When the case was presented to Prose-
cutting Attorney Given this morning a large
bundle Of the slips was turned in for pos
sible use as evidence.

work had been accomplished with such sig
nal skill that the municipal officers of the

determined effort has been made 10
keep the matter scret. He insisted
that he knew what the facts are aad
he added that E. H. Hartman know
the facts.
Harriman's Forced Activity.
"An ocular demonstration, he added,
of Mr.. Harriman's knowledge may be
had by takin trip to Huntington.
where work is being rushed on tie
Snake river road to make a north and
south connection. This road could
have been built cheaper a few ysars
ago than now, but Hartman con-
trolled the situation-he had no mead
of spending millions to secure or hold
traf1c that he already monopolized,
but II is different now. He must build
or lose an immense tonnage, and he
Is building as rapidly as men and
teams can be secured to do the work.
"The Hill extension to GrangeviIIe,

be worth If the road were to stop at
the latter place One steel bridge on
the line is one of the largest in the

There is no doubt, he said, but
what the roaI will ultimately be ex-
tended on down the Payette and on
to Boise. That will not be done this
year but II is coming. and the time is
not far distant. Another thing not
generally known is the fact that Hill
people have made survey from weI-
ser southwesterly toward San Fran.
cisco, The survey may not mean that
the road will be built. bur It certainly
means that the company desired the
data for some purpose in the future.

attorneys for the p. & r. N. road, ard

"A man may know some things by

lively that controlling interest in
the p. & /. N. road is held by the Hill
interests and that the north ana south

fact very SOON
General Manager Heigho and Mr..

yesterday. They said new engines

for the road and that a daily train
would soon be put on so that people
