for culpable negligence in allowing
such a theft to be consummated un-
der his eyes. The money stolen had
been used and was tied in packages,
some of which having been marked
for destruction at Washington. Any
of them would readily have passed
anywhere except for their large de-
nominations. None of the bills was
under $500 and some were of the ST.
900 and $4,000 denominations. the ST.
600 ones predominating.

agency. became interested in the case,
at first without official connection, but
later as the agent of Mr.. Boldenweck.
1t had not been intended to arrest
Fitzgerald at this time, as further evil
dence was not only wanted against
him, but developments were expected
which would o~onclusively involve 9th
ers. However, it is stated those under
suspicion had obtained an inklins
that untoward developments were go
ing forward and II was deemed best
to lose no time in making an arrest.
The cast being n properly under
federal jurisdiction, a United States
Judge was first sought, but none could
be found. Assistant States Attorney
Barbour was mex approached. and
shortly after midnight Sunday morn

OIL CASE APPEALED
PETITION CLAIMS APPELLATE
COURT DID LANDS INJUSTICE
NOW GOES 70 the SUPREME COURT
Present Motion is Overruled.
Bonaparte Takes a Hand.

Chicago. lll.-ln accordance with
The ruling of the United States
circuit court of appeals. Chief Clerk
w. 4. Small. in the absence OF Dis
trict Attorney +. W. Sims, Friday filed
on behalf of the government a petition
for a rehearing in the decision revers-
ing Judge Lands imposition of a fine
of S29.2i0,000 upon the Standard OH
Company OF Indiana. Early action on
the matter is expected.
This petition is a perfunctory pro-
cess and the government has no eN-
pectation of having its plea granted.
When the request for a rehearine is
refused the next step will be to get :he
supreme court to vacate the decision
of the appellate court, by the issuance
of a writ of certiorari.
In a caustic criticism of the court
of appeals the government declares its
act has converted the antitrust and
rebating laws into dead letters and
opened wide the gates for all sorts of
corporation abuses in interstate com.
merce.
Holds Fine Reasonable.
1t appears from The record that the
net profit Of the business of the Stand
ard Oil Co. of Indiana for the years
during which the violations of the law
for which il was convicted were com
mitted and including the year in
which ii was indicted amounted to
S3S. 1888, 2OS.S so.
The punishment, therefore" the pc
tition states, lis no more severe than
that is inflicted upon a letter carrier
who steals a letter and is sent to tho
~penitentiary for three years. thereby
depriving him of his earning capacity
for that time.
Court Of Appeals Accused Of Error.
The governments petition in the
Standard Oil case charges:
That the court of appeals in its
opinion did not correctly quote Judge
Lands ruling in the Standard Oil
case.
That the action of the court of ap-
peals would make of the interstate
commerce act a mere phantom stat
ute.
That the court of appeals has mis-.
stated not only the record as to what
evidence was admitted. but has also
misstated the construction the trial
judge placed upon the statute.
That the court of appeals has done
a great injustice TO Judge Lands by
misstating what he did in connection
with the fine imposed upon the Stand
ard Oil Company.
That the court of appeals accused
Judge Lands of assuming to fine the
Standard Oil Company of New Jersey
when in fact the language used by
Judge Lands was in connection with
the Standard Oil Company of Indiana
That on account of the size of the
fine alone there is no necessity for a
retrial of the case.
That the ruling of the court of ap
peals in this case was directly con
trary to the opinion of Presiding
Judge Grosscup in the rule laid down
in the case of United States VS.. Han
ley.
That the effect of the construction
of the statutes announced by the cour
OF appeals is TO nullify the interstate
commerce act as tar as shippers arr
concerned.

OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER
WATCH MOUNTAIN HOME

In a special dispatch from Wash
that representative French has in
trodnced a resolution granting to
Idaho an additional 1000, 600
acres to be reclaimed under the
Carey act. Senator Hepburn has
intr oduced resolution to the same
effect. This in addition to the
1, 200, 600 acre grant received by
the state makes total of 5000, 600
acres that will be opened up to the
state for settlement. Surely the
day of awakening in Idaho is at hand
and that the Gem state is bound to
be an inland empire equal to none
west of the Mississippi river is
prediction none dare deny. The
AGRICULTURAL pos Utilities of the
state are becoming genes ally known
and men are coming from all parts
OF. the country to get piece OF land
in Idaho. Nowhere can such crops
of grain be produced as here in Ida
no and fruit, although CREATE ng an
outside demand is only in its in
fancy. Land at the present day,
in the raw, commands higher
price, even double the price in
many instances than we'll cultiv-
ated farming lands in the Da-
kotas, Minnesota and other CEN
trsl states. Idaho has a bright
future and those who can see the
opportunities here afforded are los
ing no time in taking advantage oil
the conditions.
There is nothing the matter
with Idaho or Mountain Home. We
have the best cana system in the
west and with climate that is un
surpassed we are going to develop
into the best state ia the Union.
