rhourh Witness AOllOy Prosecution Shows Collision
of Defendants in Ownership Of Timber Lands

and timber claims acquired by the de-

By a series of objections the prose
cution prevented the defense ga ming
from the witness whether the $3.50 per
acre was minimum or maximum. And
the defense was also prevented from
stating whether or not the records
show any Irregularities in the taking
up the claims in question. The prose-
cution also blocked an answer to the
question whether there is any limit to
the number Of contests which a single
individual may bring or be interested
in.
At this point Attorney Tannahill
made an effort to bring out who every
person was who was in the famous

work OF securing a jury TO try Mayor
Sehmltz is proceeding slowly today.
Forty -one persons responded to their
names from the special venire of so
wh-n the court opened this morning.
During the examination of Talesman
j. Il. Blanchard, street contractor, it
deve oped that Blanchard had paid to
Frank Maestretti $4OO, comm ssion for
collection of one of Blanchard's claims
against the city. Maestretti at that
time was president of the board of
public works, but later was removed
by Mayor Schmitz.
Discussion as to Blanchard's quail
fications led a heated argument and
counter accusations of falsifying be-
tween counsel, Judge Dunno finally
threatening to send Lawyer Barrett
for the defense to Jail for contempt.
On Heneys insistance Blanchard
was declared untitled to act on a jury
trying Schmitz.

laid before the president and Secretary

Special to Evening Teller.
SITES, Idaho. May 2s.-Wlth his
skull fractured and in an unconscious
condition, Sidney Rankin, Neg Perce
Indian, was found this morning lying
PROSTATE at the mouth of the Cotton
wood creek. about one mile above town.
Rankin died about two hours after
being found. The body now lies at
the mouth of the creek awaiting the
arrival of Coroner Blake from Reuter-
vile.
From the appearance OF the skull,
Rankin's head was beaten in by rock.
He was not able to speak after being
found and no one, as consequence, is
being he'd on suspicion.
Because Of the body being found
near the home Of Jesse James, one OF
the most notorious of the Nez Perce
Indians, 1t is believed that that Indian
knows much OF the circumstances lead
ing up to the killing. Rankin is the
Indian who in a cutting ARRAY with
Jesse James several months ago, Sc.
verely stabbed and bruised Jesse. He
has a reputation Of being one Of thu
meanest Of the tribe when under tn,
influence Of liquor.
Parties living in the upper end o

Yesterdays Proceedings.

MOSCOW, Idaho, May 2S.-Reglster
r. II Bartlett, of the Lewiston land
office occdpied the witness stand
throughout the morning session, ana
we'll into the afternoon session. Dur
ing the morning session his time was
taken up with the identification of
documents and entries in the land office
books, all having a technical but vital
" important bearing to the prosecu-
ton in it's proving its conspiracy
charge.
He also identified several state land
selection lists. The apparent purpose
Of this was not stated, except in a gen.
eral way, to the effect that they would
have a bearing upon the ultimate prov
ing of the conspiracy charge. 1t Will
be recalled that the claim has been
made that while he acted as state land
Inspector he was instrumental in as
sisting the defendants in securing val
liable pieces of timber lands that
should have ogne to the several state
school funds. The lands in question
are said to be in Gloss proxim ty to
government lands acquired by the de-
fendants.
When court convened at 2 o'clock
Judge Dietrich said it had been brought
to his attention that some members OF
the jury desired to attend lecture at
local church this evening, while 9TH
ers did not. His honor asked If there
was any objection to the Jury being
divided for a short time during the
evening.
Chief of Counsel Tannahili said he
had none, and District Attorney Ruick
said II was agreeable to him, but rails
ed the point as to the ability Of the
defense to waive such right, adding
that he did not want anything in shape
Of an error to creep into the records
by such procedure. The court said
he would look the matter up and rem
der his decision before court adjourn
ed
Judge Dietrich then excused for the
term all trial Jurors other than those
hearing the case at bar. He said there
was no indication of the present case
being disposed Of for some time, thai
new panel would have to be drawn
for the next trial, and that there was
no necessity Of keeping the Jurors here
for practically nothing at an expense
; to the government of about $35 day
Receiver T. H. Bartlett was then re-
called to the witness stand, and witt
the aid of the land ofiice records. read
the list of deeds to timber claims which
had passed into the hands of the de-
fendants or the co-conspirators to thi'
case, during the year 1904. In thu
