SPOKANE, WASH, March TO-
Thirty-five saloons in Nez Perce and
Idaho counties, in the panhandle Of
Idaho, southeast of Spokane. Were put
out OF business through a decision
handed down a few days ago by the
Supreme Court of the United States af-
firnling the Judgment OF the Federal
Court Of Idaho in tho case against
George Dick. an Indian, convicted on
the charge Of selling liquor on the
Nez Perce reservation. and sentenced to
serve term In the penitentiary.
The decision is sweeping, and may be
interpreted to mean that saloons on
other reservations in the Northwest
are to be put under the ban. 1t means
a loss of $4,000 a year in revenue to
the two counties, and involves the
question as to whether tho treasurers
can be forced to surrender part of the
license fee, fixed at $3.50, for the un-
expired term. Saloons in these towns,

attempt was made to-day to rob the
Merchants National Bank. at Thirteenth

custody. Tests by the police seem to
show that the contents of the bottle
We're harmless.
Entering the bank and asking to
see Mr.. Drake in his private office,
Fee was admitted to the vice-presi
dents room. He began talking In a
rambling manner about having had
$4,000 In the National Bank of Com
merce In Kansas City when that bank

chair.

Drake sat down. but suggested that
they go out to breakfast together and
talk the matter over.

the conversation, and he telephoned to
the police. Plain clothes men were
quickly on the scene and followed the

PRESLEY WAS NOT .LYNcHED

BRISTOL. VA. March 1o.--A tele.

evening states that the report that
jackson PRESLEY was taken from his
home and lynched by mob in con-
nection with the murder of George Call
and John Mutter, at Swords Creek,
turns out to have been untrue and with
out foundation. Such news reached
Lebanon yesterday afternoon, and re-
sponsible people there reported that
such lynching had, occurred. There
was 10 chance to get any further re-
port on account of Swords Creek being
In the mountains and far removed from
either telephone or telegraph connec-
ton, so that no correction of the re-
port reached here until this afternoon.
Responsible persons at Mendoza state
that the story was given to them over
the telephone yesterday as true. 1t
had its origin in the general excite
ment incident to an effort to organize
a mob, which resulted in the hurrying
of Thomas Gross and Fred Dye, who
were under arrest, to the Lebanon jail.

TAZEWELL, VA, March 10.-The re.
port printed in the morning papers
that man by the name of Presley
had been lynched at Swords Creek is
totally untrue. The Times Dispatch
correspondent communicated over the
telephone tonight with parties living
close to Pressley's home, and learned
that he was seen In Russell county to-
day. PRESLEY had no connection what
ever with the murder of the two men,
John Mutter and George Call. other than
that the murder occurred In his home,
where the dance was in progress. The
only reason that can be advanced for
the murder Is that the dancing party
were drinking. Fred Dye and Ton,
Gross. the two men charged with the
murder. are safe in Russell county jail,
