THt IDAHO FRAUD CASE
LETTERS SHOW coMPLiclTY OF
 FORMER GOVERNOR.
B0RAH'S NAME DRAWN Il
Asked Defendant to Get State ment from Steunenberg.

Bose, Idaho, Sept. 2S.-Haif a score of letters, which the government at torreys in the trial of Senator William E. Borah declared go to show the com plicity of former Governor Frank Steunenberg in the alleged Idaho tim Der fraud conspiracy, were offered in evidence late Friday and read to the jury The letters were written by William Sweet, one of the indicted men, who it is reported will take the stand as a witness for the United States. The documents were produced by J. II. Richards, the local attorney to whom they were written, and who acted as legal adviser to Sweet.
 Most of the letters were dated from New York and Boston and several of them were replies to letters or tele- grams urging him to return to Idaho.
 Il can't see why l should return to Idaho. l can't see why l should come back unless 1t is in regard to timber and that is all in the governors hands," wrote Sweet in one of his notes. Then proceeded:
 ''As to the money coming to me, put 1t in the bank; I have absolute faith in the governor. He came to my as sistance and helped me out of mess I never ought to have got in. l don't know what l would have done if it had not been for him..
 In another letter Sweet gave the hO u,ac 'tipb np finn 10 r deal. The total was about $29 ,000, in cluding a $500 note signed by him self and Governor Steunenberg.
 Senator Borah's name was drawn into the case for the first time just before adjournment. when H. s. Workman, another local attorney, took the stand and produced more let ters from William Sweet. In one let ter to Workman he wrote:
 $1o,0oo to Steunenberg.
 Richards used his power of attor- ney to turn all of my money, $10,000, over to Steunenberg. and it is like pulling a eat through a stocking to get it back. l wish you would see Will liam F.. Borah about this and get him to make a little statement of the gov ernor's obligation to me. He is the governors attorney, but is a first-class gentleman and knows a little state ment Is only fair to me. Tell him I have not the scratch of pen from Steunenberg to show that he has s10,- 900 of money belonging to me. He said the copy of our agreement was lost

OBITUARY.

Leslie Albert, son of Albert F.
and Mrs. Maud Webb. died last
Saturday about 9 o'clock p. N. OF
inflammation of the bowels, after an
illness since Aug. Goth, during
which time the child suffered con-
siderable pain but everything pos
sible was done for it that could be
to relieve it's suffering, and loving
care of It's parents and grandmoth-
err, Mrs. Jetfers, of friends of the
family and the medical skill of the
local physicians, all failed to re-
store the child to health.
Leslie Albert Webb came into
this world August %. 1906, to
brighten the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Albert +. Webb and numer-
Gus friends of the family had be-
come attached to the bright little
boy who had attracted friendly
notice and favorable comment.
For three weeks the child strug-
gled with that disease so often
fatal to children and though at
times he appeared to be getting
better, bringing hope and cheer
to those watching over him day
and night, he grew steadily weak
er and finally it became apparent
that the end was near, yet loving
care and watchfulness continued
hopeful for recovery to the last.
The funeral was conducted by
Rev. Connell, assisted by Rev.
3eale, Sunday afternoon at the
home and attended by a large
number of friends and neighbors,
many of whom followed the re-
mains to Mount Hope cemetery
where the body was laid to rest.
The DEMOCRAT, in behalf of
friends and neighhors, extends
sympathy to the bereaved family.

SCHOOL NOTES.
BY PROF. r. II. WATSON.

Oliver Walcott made a pleasant
call at the high school last Sunday.
Miss Bessie Gaskill made brief
visit in Miss Dunham S room one
day last week.
Misses Ruth and Anna Stetter
visited the 18th grade Physics
class last Thursday.
Misses Ennis Boyer and Alta
Dunham visited the 18th grade
English class last Friday.
J. Is. Johnson. former class
mate of Miss Gordon's in the
high school at Hot Springs. S. D.,
is on his way to the Nebraska
State University and stopped off
in Valentine this week. He spent
Wednesday forenoon listening to
to the rccitations in the high school
and grammar rooms. Mr.. John
son is very pleasant young man
to meet and he is now ia his sem
ior year at the university.
We have received several re-
quests during the past year to
state what studies should cOnSti-
tute the work of the first
year in the high school and recent
Iy we received a letter from one
of the smaller village schools Of
this county asking what studies
should be taught in the first two
years Of a gooi high school. We
give below the courses Of study as
now followed in Valentine and the
courses of two other good schools.
Perhaps everyone of these courses
is, too heavy, certainly not single
one is too light. And still we be-
lieve in a good strong course. The
student who goes through high
school course without having to
get down and dig and dig"
hard might just as we'll not take
the high school course at all.
