proceedings FOR
RECEIVER QUAsHED

All trouble with respect to tha
conduct of the First Bank of Raw
hide is now adjusted, says the Gold
field Tribune. Fred w. Heath, at
torney for John +. Pelton, who ap-
piled to the court for receiver, and
Senator George d. Pyne, attorney for
the bank. yesterday united in a
statement that an agreement had
been entered into by which Pelton 5
suit for a receiver would be dismiss
sed as soon as possible. @
All demands of Pelton, the COM
planning witness. are said to have
been fully satisfied, and he has no
further objection. The First Bank
of Rawhide is declared to be abso-
lutely solvent and enjoying more
business than ever before in its his
tory. Some trouble was expected
during the past two days on account
of the application for receiver to
take charge of the affairs of the in
stitution, but this seems to have been
wiped away entirely. and all court
proceedings will become history ii
a day or two.
The institution of the litigation ia
the courts here gave rise to various
fears on the part of the depositofs
in the Rawhide bank. especially as
the plaintiff made so many and vac
led allegations. but it was commonly
reported that the suit was largely i
personal matter and would be quick.
J. adjusted once the interested par
/ ties had an old-fashioned pow-wow,
This has been done. and the banh
will proceed as of old.

suing from lie Harbor hotel, located

spread with great rapidity to the adj
joining building and was not check
ed until it reached the brick walls

caused by a lighted cigarette which
fell from the hand OF James Burns,
ledger, who had fallen asleep il
the hotel. He was dragged out by
Detective Proll, who was first on the
scene. THE officer also aroused a
number of other men who had re-

Question Do you know anything about the pol
itics of Idaho?
Answer. Yes, sir; am chairman of the Demo-
cratic party there.
Q. You in charge of the campaign last fall !?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. How long, Mr. Jackson, have you given at
tention to political conditions in Idaho?
A. | have engaged in every campaign since 1894.
Q. AS a matter of public and political history,
what subjects have agitated the minds of the people
of Idaho particularly in the last few years?
A The great question with in Idaho has been
the growing power of the Mormon church in its in
reference in state affairs.
Q. And has that been generally or only locally
discussed?
A. 1t made the paramount issue in the last
campaign 1t the subject which the Demo-
Gratis and the independents discussed.
Q. In what particular forms has this question of
so-caled Mormon interference in state affairs ex-
pressed itself?
A. By the visits of the apostles of the church
residents of Salt Lake City, coming into Idaho
and directing the people of their faith how to
should vote such ticket and the desire of the church
authorities to have them do so.
Q. And what legislation has been effected, or
sought threatened by this so-ca1ed Mormon in
vasion?
A. The matter became of vital interest two
years ago. when the apostle, John Henry Smith,
to Boise while the Idaho Legislature was in
session and there procured the passage of resou-
ton through the Idaho Legislature providing for
submitting to the people at the next election the
question whether constitutional convention should
be held for the purpose of taking out of the state
constitution that clause which prohibits polygamy in
the state. During that session of the Idaho
Legislature, John Henry Smith promoted or secured
the passage of act which provided bounty on all
sugar raised in the state during the years 1903 and
1904 (The Mormon church owning the sugar fac
tories) These two measures were, and are today
attributed to the active interference of John Henry
Smith.
Q. Now want to ask you Mr.. Jackson, how do
you know that the purpose of the resolution calling

convention eliminate those provisions from the
constitution and not for some other purpose?
A. Apostle John Henry Smith stated to people
in Boise that he desired from the consti
tuition of Idaho those clauses so Objectionable to
people"
Q. You may state briefly what is the ground of
belief that the Mormon church defeated Governor
Morrison for denomination.
A. In Idaho have twenty-one counties, of
which six absolutely controlled by the Mormons
The Mormon counties voted entirely for Mr.. Good
ing; and whatever the Mormon church desires in
Idaho is carried out 1t is impossible for any man
any party to go against the Mormon church in
Idaho, whether he is Republican or a Democrat.
Q. You mean that it is impossible to go against
them?
A. [ mean that, unless the Mormon church sup
