Says Arrest Is Job.

Attorney Litzinger. for Fitzgerald declares the arrest of his client is a job. He says an immediate hearing will be demanded. The char ges against the prisoner are based on the following:
 That he began speculating in eggs within two months after being dis. missed from the government service and at a time when he had not more than $1,700 altogether and that the speculation involved over $25,000.
 That he proposed to dispose of two S1,000 bills to Col. Harry C. Gano for $500 each.
 That he expressed ability to put up $500 in escrow on a proposition to buy dockage rights at South Haven and lake steamer
 That he recently bought a dwelling valued at $S.500.

A COURT HOUSE
County Can Now Keep House in its
Own Building.

paid in installments of $500 per
month, with interest at z per cent.
Mr.. Clark was opposed to the
purchase, but stood on previous
declaration that he was willing to
leaving it to the taxpayers.
Petitions representing about 400
leading taxpayers were presented
ia voring the purchase, while only
about dozen signed against it.
Believing that the taxpayers favor
ed it, Mr.. Clark yielded his own
judgment to the petitioners and
voted to purchase.
The HERALD thinks it should
congratulate Bonner county on
this disposition of the court house
problem. The building is ample
for all present needs and when the
county wants a better one, the
property they have just bought
can be sold at an advance OF what
it cost. 1t will take only five years
to pay for it, in such small pay
ments that it will never be felt.
On the other hand it would have
been necessary to pay $3.50 to 5000
per month rent for which the
county would have had nothing to
show at the end of five years.
AS to the bridge at Standpoint,
the people there and across the
river have subscribed $4,000 OF
their own for the enterprise, SO
that the county will get $3.50 for
every 800 that it puts up, malx-
ing the improvement good bar
gain for the county. That it is
needed, there is no question. While
there is a pronounced feeling grow
ing that Standpoint is inclined to
hog everything in sight, and that
the old Rathdrum crowd was not a
marker in comparison, for avarice,
vet the HERALD and its readers in
North Bonner will not begrudge
Standpoint this particular appro-
priation, backed as it is by their
own good hard cash. We shall
want some help up here by and by
on bridge and it is by the whole
county pulling together that the
necessary public improvements
can be secured.

The board of county commits
sioners held two interesting SEES
sions this week. The usual month
ly meeting took place last Mon
day and Tuesday, and an adjourn
ed meeting was held yesterday.
After disposing of the usual rou-
tine business at the first session,
two interesting matters were pre-
scented to the board One was con-
corning the court house building,
erected by Ignatz We'll, and rented
of him by the county for a court
house. The other proposition was
to appropriate $4,000 to aid in
constructing ferry with long APP
proaches, across the Pend d. Oreille
at Standpoint.
All members of the board were
present, but it is related that at
about the time the board reached
the consideration of the above
mentioned matters, Commissioner
Dunn recalled that he had import
ant demands on his time at home,
and hastily left the Court house.
Although he did not catch a Spo-
kane train for several hours, he
left Messrs. Clark and Roth to
wrestle with these weighty quest
ions.
Mr.. Roth and Mr.. Clark soon
disposed of the bridge matter by
calling for bids, which will deter
mine the cost, and when these bids
are in, they wall arrive at a con.
clusion, relative to the appropri.
alton.
On the court house matter, MI
Clark insisted that it be postponed
until Mr.. Dunn's presence could
be secure. 1t was put over until
yesterday, when the board met
and Commissioner Clark and Com
missioner Roth voted to purchase
the court house building and Com
missioner Dunn voted against.
The terms of the sale are that
the county is to pay Mr.. We'll a
sum equal to the actual cost of the
building, and fair valuation on
the grounds, the whole estimated
at $4,000. The amount is to be

HORRIBLE DEATH
John Sohweizer Mangled and Killed
by Train.

AS the section men went out To
work on the Great Northern, last
Wednesday morning, they made a
CHASTITY find at point just beyond
the west end of the wye. 1t was
the body of a man literally cut to
pieces by a passing train. The
body was almost unrecognizable,
but from letters found in his cloth
es it was learned that the dead man
was John Schweizer, bridge car
penter on the Great Northern,
working in A. j. Ruck's crew.
Just how the accident happened
will never be known. The man
had been drinking the day before
and it is thought that he must
have started for the crews car. He
was found some distance beyond
where the car was located, having
wandered down the track, where
he was struck by a passing train.
The remains were picked up and
taken to Alexander's undertaking
rooms and prepared for burial.
Schweizer was an Oddfellow, be-
longing to lodge in Buffalo, N. Y.
He had evidently been we'll
thought of at his home as he was
at one time at the head of his lodge.
He visited the local lodge last
Saturday evening. Members of
the order at once took up the mat
ter with his lodge in Buffalo, and
at the time of our going to press
communications were being wired
between the two lodges as to the
disposition to make of the body.
The deceased was about 35 years
of age. His father and other family
relatives are living in Buffalo.

REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE CALL

before the meeting of the first
State convention. AS the first
state convention meets May IL,
this would necessitate having the
county nominating convention not
later than the first week in May,
and the primaries not later than
the last week in April. This course
is seriously opposed by others as
being entirely too early to nomi-
nate county ticket, prefering to
follow the method of former years
and hold the nominating conven-
ton in July or August.
There is no contest on, relative
to the first State Convention. II
is conceded that Idaho is for Taft
and if Taft can not get the nomi.

Important Meeting at Standpoint
on March Is.

The call for a meeting OF the
Republican Central Committee of
Bonner County was issued today.
The date fixed is March 20. There
are now thirty precincts in the
county and each precinct is repre-
scented by one member. The COM
mittee, when it meets, will fix the
time and place of holding the
county conventions, and afportion
the delegates thereto.
One of the most important mat
tiers that will come before the COM
mittee will be in relation to the
action to be taken in reference to
sending delegates to the first State
convention which meets at Wal
lace on Nav 18th to send dele
gates to the National Convention.
1t was customary in the old county
to have the central committee
select these delegates, thus avoid
ing the trouble and expense OF
holding two county conventions
Some opposition has developed tt
that plan this year, and those. OPP,
posed are advocating only one CON
vention, held at such time as will
enable the convention to selec'
delegates to both State Convent
ions and nominate a county tickle
