Judge Greene Rsles That Methods Enl- pIoyed by sheriff HigdOn Are
 Illegal and Charges HF JuPy.

BfrminRham. Nov. 1s.-(Special.)- The general charge was given this af- ternoon by Judge Greene of the crim- 'inal court in the first of the raiders cases to be tried since the sherin's of flee employed that method of reaching alleged violators of tho prohibition law.
 The cases on trial were eleven men who were arrested in a raid on a club on Twentieth Street between First and Secofd Avenues. north. a few weeks ago. Several attorneys appeared in henaif of the defendants and a number of motions were put before the court to ouash the warrants, all of which were overruled and jury was called for and accepted by both sides.
 Tho taking of evidence began and Lucien Brown, chief deputy sherin, was the first man placed on the stand. He told of a raid made on what Is known as A raiders warrant. He brought be- fore the jury a lot of liquor and some beer that was located In sthe so%called club.
 After another witness or two had been heard Judge Greene held that be- fore vendor can be concealed he must not be seen by the vendee or purchas- CT. In other words. Judge Greene held that the. raiders warrant cannot be employed when it Is possible for peo- pie to see the sale of whiskey.
 After the State witnesses had been heard an attorney for the defendants made 6 motion that ali the testimony for the State be excluded.
 Then followed an argument between Assistant Solicitor Aird and the court which finally resulted in Judge Greene sustaining the motion to exclude the testimony offered and a motion was made for the general charge and it was granted.
 There are a hundred and more de- fendants to appear in the criminal court this week and next week having been arrested on raiders warrants, sew eral of which were sworn out by agents of the Law and order League.

Early Mining History Of Idaho.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE)

This last was one of the most re- :.
markable mining stampedes in the
history Of mining. Into a country
without trails or roads save the old
Mullan military road, covered with
dense growth Of cedar, pine and fir,
in the dead Of winter, over or through
snow twenty feet deep. went 5000
men, during the months Of January,
February, March, 1884. With them
scores Of women Of a certain class,
dressed in mems clothing and haul
ing their feminine wardrobes on
sleighs.
The Mullan military road was the
first wagon road built in the state Of
Idaho. 1t extended from Fort
Walla Walla in Washington, through
that state, and entirely across Idaho
to Foft Benton in Montana. 1t was
surveyed, located and built between
1883 and 1868 by military expedi-
ton commanded by Captain John
, Mullan, its construction being the
outgrowth Of the exploration Of the
mountains Of Idaho for the purpose
Of determining the best location
across the Rocky mountains for the
line Of the Northern Pacific railroad.
This history Of this road is most in
: teresting, full as it is Of the difficult
ties that Captain Mulian overcame
and of.his splendid success.
