SIX NEW VOTING
PRECINCTS MADE
Republicans Are Liberal and Will
Have Big Convention

Six new precincts have been Great
ed in the county by the board of
county commissioners and yesterday
the executive committee of the repub-
lican county central committee met,
and in accordance with authority in
vested in it by a prior meeting OF the
central committee, made an appor-
tionment of the delegates for the new
precincts for the county convention.
The new precincts are Spirit Lake
and Hayden Lake. both severed from
the territory formerly embraced in
what was known as Rathdrum pre-
cinct; Fernwood, which Is taken
from Santa, and three in this city
In the city a new precinct was made
of Occur d'Alene which was named
Kootenai. and two from Sherman
one named Lincoln and the other La
Crosse. The dividing line between
Kootenai and Occur d'Alene is Fourth
street and Foster, and between Lin
coin and Sherman, Fourth and Mil
Ter. Occur d'Alene precinct, accord
ing to the apportionment of delegates
made at the meeting of the central
committee this spring, was given 13
delegates, and these remain the same,
and the new precinct. Kootenai, was
given six by the executive committee.
making in all for both precincts 10
delegates Sherman's original appor-
was left the same, Lacrosse given
and Lincoln 6, making for the three
II delegates, and a total for all OF
the precincts in the city of 38. Ae-
cording to the apportionment of the
different precincts of the county the
convention will be entitled to SO del
egates. and with the 3s delegates in
the city. and those in outlying pre-
cincts it is estimated that those fav-
orable to the removal of the county
seat to this place will be In control
of the convention by a large major
ity. The Rathdrum forces. IL is es-
timated. will only be able to control
the delegations from Rathdrum.
Athol and Prairie precincts-all of
them small. and there exists a prob
ability that even in these they viii
not have a solid delegation as it is
well known that many in these pre-
cincts favor and are working hard
for the removal of the county seat.
Spirit Lake was given 8 delegates,
Fernwood l and Hayden Lake /. All
Of these precincts are favorable to
the removal OF the county seat. and
viii send delegations sOlidly In favor
Of it 10 the convention, and the con-
sensus of opinion nov is that the
convention will be almost entirely IN
favor of the county seat removal.
But there are many persons opposed
to bringing the county seat fight in
to the conventions Of either party.

to rebut Steve Adams alibi, the state
yesterday morning rested its case in
Adams trial on the charge of muir
dering Arthur Collins, the mine SUI
perintendent who was shot at Tellu-
ride on November I9, 1909.
The address OF Attorney Hilton,
counsel for Adams, was largely made
up of scathing denunciation OF Gen
eral Wells, chief witness for the pros
ecution. and the Pinkerton detectives.
He declared that a class war" was
on, one side being represented by men
occupying the same social position
as General Wells and others consist
ing Of those who toll with their
hands, He predicted that great
general struggle would soon be on.
Attorney Hilton made fierce at
tack upon the Pinkerton agency. so
blistering, in fact, that Attorney
Hogg for the prosecution made a pro-
test to the court. Hilton turned on
him shouting:
'All that is the matter with you
is that / am getting too close to
your hide.
Judge Shackelford warned the jury
that they must not consider Hilton s
statement concerning the Plnkerton
agency as part of the Adams case.
Arguments OF counsel would have
been concluded last night and case
given to the jury, but the members
of the jury to whom the court left
the matter of holding a night session,
voted against It and adjournment was
taken until this morning, after In
struetions to the jury had been read
and all arguments made except the
closing of the defense.
Late last night James Mcfarland
and six assistants arrived here in com
pany with Warden Whitney of the
Idaho state penitentiary. Il is re-
ported they are here to rearrest
Adams In case of his acquittal on the
charge of numbering Arthur Collins.

Suit Filed Against the Hartman
Companies.

ANA~AAAAN1a
SAN FRANCISCO, July 15.-A
suit involving $4,000, 900 worth of
bonds with interest was filed in the
United States court here yesterday
by the estate of the late Charles
Durkee, former governor Of Utah.
against the Southern Pacific Railroad
company, the Union Pacific, Central
Pacific and subsidiary companies, the
Central Trust company of New York,
Farmers Trust company of New York
and E. II. Hartman.
The plaintiffs ask the court to re-
quire the Southern Pacific company
and others named in the suit to make
an accounting, and also that a re-
ceiver be appointed for the holdings
of the defendants. Durkee was chief
executive of the territory of Utah in
1865. 1t is alleged in the complaint
that during the period of construc-
ton of the Union Pacific railroad he
acquired 100000 worth of con-
struction bonds, and that later he
took $27,OOO,0O0 of the first mort
gage bonds. The plaintiffs claim no
accounting was made for these, bonds.
It is alleged the claim of Governor
Durkee to the bonds was acknowl-
edged by j. c. Folger. a former Sec
rotary of the treasury. Another
charge is that an effort to defraud
Governor Durkee out of a just claim
was made when the Union Pacific
railway was merged into the Union
Pacific Railroad company.

ARRESTED FOR TIMBER FRAUDS.
Scene of Operation In Baker
County, Oregon.

County, Oregon.
BAKER CITY, Ore, July IS
Arriving in Baker City at noon yes
! terday Deputy United States Marshal
Nicholson took in custody H. e.
Cooke, who has been in the Baker
county jail since last Saturday with.
out any charge against him on the
records of this county. 1t was moi
long after the marshal arrived that
the charge of attempting to defraud
the government was made known and
Cooke was arraigned before United
States Commissioner C. A. Moore of
this city. He waived his right for
examination and his bond was fixed
at $4,000. He refused to try to OBJ
tain bondsmen and last night he was
taken to Portland, and from there
will be Immediately delivered to the
federal officers in New York city.
Up to the time of arrival of the

of which Cooke was the moving spirit.
They stood by Cooke until after he
was brought before the commissioner
and maintained that his transaction
with them had been straight and
square. Since then, however, they
have been freer to talk and are anx-
1ous for the public to know who they
are and that they came west with
the best of intentions. Several have
succeeded in getting work here.
They are apparently good people
who knew nothing of the manner in
which it is necessary to proceed in
order to get timber lands in regular
form. AS evidence of that fact
Cooke sent a number of the parties
over the Sumpter Valley railroad to
Austin, where he had arranged with
a liveryman to drive them to some
timber lands. Cooke did not accom-
pany them, but when they returned
each of the New York people thought
they had met all requirements and
were ready to file on the land Some
of them did make trip to La Grande
and file on certain sections.
There is more or less concern over
the fact that the city is alive
with federal officers. Every man
who has proved up on a timber
claim seems to be going over the
transaction in his mind, endeavoring
to trace every detail, so as to be sure
that he has not compromised himself
with the laws. 1t is reported that
the presence of numerous federal Of
ficers means that there will be a gen
eral shakedown of all timber tran
sactions in Baker county, some of
which have been long standing and
frequently talked Of

Ould give the democratic party

lat no good Mormon would vote

Notes Of the Political Field.

The Republican state convention of
New Hampshire Tuesday tabled resolu-
tion favorable to Taft by vote of 1853 to
25. The delegation goes uninstructed,
but it is likely that most of the delegates
will support Taft.
Minnesota's entire vote is for Taft, the
state instructing for him.
The Democratic state convention in
New York last week was a turbulent
affair. The Bryan boom was soon
squelched, and the big four go to Denver
uninstructed. The attempt, finally
successful, to drive Senator McCarren,
the Brooklyn leader, from the conven-
tion, led to almost riot. He left de-
claring that Tammany would never elect
another mayor. Finally, a new state
committee was named so constituted as to
do the will of Charles F. Murphy, and
was empowered to reorganize the Democ-
racy in any county, with authority supe-
rior to the local organization. The Nc
Carrenites propose to keep up the fight.
