OFFICERS RAID
PAYETTE HOUSE

Much credit is due County Attorney
Van Duyn and Sheriff Thorp for the
successful raid which they, with the
assistance of the Paycttc police, made
on the well-known road house located
near Payette, and which has been an
eye-sore for two or three years. The
building is owned by man by the
name of Duffey, who resides near On

bawdy house and the case is still

Saturday the Caldwell officers, con-
sisting of Attorney Van Duyn, Sheriff
Thorp and Deputy Jack Moore board
ed No. 5 for Payette, but decided to
| get off at Ontario, so as to allay any
suspicious that might be caused by
their arrival in Payette. When the
shades of night had fallen over the
rich and fertile valley and all nature
was at rest, the officers procured rig
and drove to near the celebrated road
house. One of their number knocked
at the door and was admitted While
some of the officers entered others

taken of the interior at the time of the
raid, there would be more business in

Bryan's court than ever before in the
history of the state 1t is said that

besides the regular inmates. One fell

one of the doors and thus escaped
meeting the officers. 1t was found
when the final roundup was COM
plete, that there were business men
and ranchers in the tolls, besides boys
;, under age. -Four women and two men
y were placed under arrest and brought

:, the custody of Sheriff Thorp until
Tuesday, when Ollie Fletcher plead
guilty and was given four days in jail
The remaining three finally decided t.

guilty to the charge of keeping

JAIL CANNOT
Hold COOK
Cook Breaks Jail.

Robert Cook, the fellow who was
arrested in this county for stealing
a gun belonging to Pete Watkins,
living near Middleton was fined
$1,000 in Judge Hagelin's court, but
on being released was Immediately
arrested by the Ada county officers
and taken to Boise where he was
tried for breaking Jail, and senten-
ced to serve 60 days in the county
jail. Cook had made the boast that
there was no Jail that could hold
him. He apparently has made good,
as the following from the States
man of yesterday would indicate.
Three Prisoners Leave.
The delivery took place between
IL and 1 o'clock yesterday noon,
George Koehler, alias George King,
and John McClelland, the dope fiend,
departed.
Sheriff Lane and Deputy Robert
son at the time were in the office
while Deputies Siggins and Howry
were at dinner. Deputy Howry on
his return saw man dodge around
the Fifth street corner of the Yeo-
mans flats whom he did not wholly
recognize as Koehler. His suspic-
ion was aroused, however, and at
once he proceeded to enter the Jail
where upon investigation he found
one of the doors, which had been
securely locked, wide open, reveal
ing the avenue of escape.
Saw Way to Liberty.
The prisoners had first, by means
of hack saw, which had been snug
gled into the Jail, presumably
through some of the callers upoI
Cook, severed a hasp made of hare
steel, giving them an entrance into
an abandoned cell from the large
inner corridor where prisoners arr
permitted to exercise during the da,
time. Once in the cell the saw wa
again brought into play on the bar
of a small window leading out int
a small recess under the front steps
These bars, which were about two
thirds of an inch in diameter, wer
sawed in two at the bottom and the
broken off at the top. A hole wa
soon made in the brick wall at tn
side of the stairway, the brick on
at time taken out and laid on tn
inside SO as to afford the least POI
sible chance of discovery. a
One at time the men made the
way into the open on the west sic
of the building, Koehler evident
being the last man out, as he was tt
only man in sight on the return
Deputy Howry. He was awaitir
trial in the district court on char,
of burglary and at the morning Sc
sion had been arraigned and enter'
a plea of not guilty. McClelland, tt
dope fiend, has had more or less
toriety in the police and JUST
courts since the first recent arres
of "dope" fiends for vagrancy al
was serving a 60-days' sentence.

Crawford met with a painful acc1-
dent at the Independent Planning
Mill. Wednesday. While at work In
the mill his hand came in contact
with one of the many saws In use'

ton of one of his little fingers. The

surveyor and coroner were conferred
on Blakeslee of Emmett and Noggle
of Middleton.
Following the nominations of the
county officers a recess of 10 minutes
was taken to enable the delegates
from the commissioner districts to
select candidates. When the conven-
ton again resumed business the fol-
lowing nominations were ratified:
list district, N. S. Dills of Caldwell;
End district, S. F. CLANCY of Middle
ton; for the 3rd, c. B. Banks of En-
NETT. BY this time the delegates were
leaving the hall, but the chairman an
nounced that a central committee was
to be appointed. The roll was called
by precincts and the following names
will compose the committee: Ed.

Prescott, G. w. Lamson, Fred Davis,
M. r. Lasson, d. 0. Castator, A. II.
| Albertson, G. r. Fulton, w. r. Fitch,

Riggs, Dave Murray, s. d. Riggs, Ed
| Vahlberg, E. S. Moss, E. e. Morton
and C. b. Ross. 1t will be observed
that but two Dubois representatives
are on the committee, viz Fred Da-
Wis of Nampa and Mickey Morton OF
Stewart Following the appointment
of the committee the convention stood
adjourned.
The ticket nominated is, on the
whole, fairly good one. None of the
candidates for the legislature are mel
who will be the authors of any grea
measures for the benefit of the coun
ty or state. The sheriff and treasure
are competent men. The NOMINEE

Business Devoted Largely to Closing

New York, Dec, 24-With q closed interval of three days in prospect on account of the holiday from tonight until next Monday, there was little disposition to operate on large scale in stocks and the days business was largely devoted to closing up contracts already open. This seemed to operate both ways in the market, serving to illustrate the decided confusion in which speculative sentiment stands at present Short covering was in evi- dence at small points, and in other quarters there was liquidation of long accounts In the case of some of the stocks which have figured in the weeks deal rumors this selling devel- oped a very unstaple condition of prices

 the Cause.

Volume of trading fell off sharply, doubtless on account of the coming holidays, A quiet opening was fol- lowed by a little bidding up, set back, with Smeltlng offered down to s1 1-2, ex-diyidend of per cent, and then a midday spurt, with the highest prices of the day for some stocks, Equipment stocks were generally firm, with Pressed Steel and American Car and Foundry the features. Kansas City Southern Alton, Chesapeake and Ohio, and the local fractions, again advanced to new high prices for the year. The weakness of the closing hour simply showed what the specu- latlve position was Professional speculators dislike to remain too eX- tended over long holiday, and the extended speculative accounts yester- day were obviously for the rise, Three days ago, stocks would have risen on the eve of a holiday, The tipping" business was again worked overtime yesterday as 1t has heen all this week New York central was mentioned as Sure to go above 195 before the end of the year; the equipment stocks and local fractions were promised to have to 10 points each Low priced stocks were chief ly heard from in this way; they are favorites with people subject to bar gain-counter instincts, similar to those women shoppers who buy shoddy goods when the price Is marked down in the advertisements of an lem porium" When a group of traders se- lect a certain stock to buy, their very purchases serve to put t up 1 or more points. case in point was the vio- lent upbidding of Chicago Subway on the curb yesterday.

Those who waited to see whether Subway would go up or not before buying will be tho last holders.

Yesterdays rise in the equipment stocks was due to current statements that some of them would begin Op- erating on much larger scale after January f. in order to handle accumu- lated orders, and on expectation that there would be an thrush of new bus- ness after that date, as there was after election. This may turn out to be true but Wall Street is so determined to fix date after which all will be well, that new assignment by the old authorities gives a sense of weari- ness The story of 1908 chronologi- cally told from the standpoint of these oracles would be as follows; January, "ENerything will be booming again In February" February: "The great boom has come" June; We shall have real trade in July" July: ''The real trade boom has come.' October: We shall not have one un' til after election" November we are now back in 1906 again" Decem- Der: "Wo have had no boom, but one is coming after the turn of the year" Such an experience opens a long vista of dates such as "after tho April settlements" "when the Ways and Means committee reports" when we know something about the har- yest" and 'after the summer inactiv- itv is over"

The Raymonds added another to their long list of successes at Eastlake park last evening. A fair midweek audience was at hand and showed it's appreciation in a manner which augurs well for the success of the play the remaining days of the week.
 Captain Swift was the vehicle on which the company rode into the good graces of the audience. The scene of action is laid in and near London. It has to deal with the story of an Aus tralian outlaw, who having made his escape to London. there saving the life of an English gentleman (nOted for his generosity and absent-minded- ness) receives an invitation to visit the home of the party whom he had saved. While there a number of things take place. He falls in love with the niece of his host. Discovers that the wife of the aforesaid gentleman is his own
