DISTRICT COURT PROCEEDINGS
Several Criminals Sentenced TO Va.
riOuS Terms in the Pen.

Of the five prisoners who pleaded
guilty to the charges placed against
them, John Grove was sentenced to
one and one-half years in the peniten-
tiary at hard labor for grand larceny;
Carl NOwak to serve thirty days in the
county Jail for obtaining money under
false pretenses; Harvey Smith, to two
and one-half years in the penitentiary
at hard labor for forgery; Chas. H.
McClernand, to two and one-half years
in the pen for grand larceny, and J. c..
Circle was sentenced to pay a fine Of
$50, or lay it out in the county jail at
g per day, for the crime Of forgery.
In the case Of Fannie A. Gustin VS..
Chas. Gustin, a decree Of divorce with
alimony was granted; Francis Otis vs..
Marion Otis, for divorce. the same was
granted.
The case Of Roy Harrison, for grand
larceny, was brought TO trial March
27, and was hotly contested. Prosecut-
ing Attorney Disney was assisted by
a. NJ. Bowen Of Haley and Jas. R.
Boutwell, Of Shoshone and Judge J. C.
Rogers and T. Bailey Lee of Burley
represented the defense.
It was once the rule that stray sheep
belonged to the man who found them
on the range and rescued them
from the coyotes. but customs change
with changed conditions. The prisoner
at the bar was accused of stealing
sheep and it might easily be surmised
that the case at issue was a TRANSIENT
fame from the dying embers Of the hot
conflict once waged between the sheep
and cattle men of the western range.
At any rate the defense made their
first fight on getting sheep men off the
jury. No matter how just and upright
a man may be the human mind IS so
constituted that it is influenced or
biased by environment, and lawyers
are not slow to take advantage Of the
fact. But the defense scored their most
telling point in the charge to the jury,
embodying a decision of the supreme
court asdeliveredby Judge Stockslager,
the present partner of A. NJ. Bowen,
to the effect that the intent of the ac-
cused at the time of taking up the prop
erty in dispute, determines his guilt or
innocense.
The jury returned a verdict Of ac
quittal and the prisoner, q young man
of promise, went free.

Licensed Saloons in ShO-
shOne Another Year.
The Board of County Commission
ers by a Vote of Two to One
Decides to Continue Saloons
at the County Seat.

1t is seldom meeting Of the board
Of county commissioners excites the
lively interest that was manifested
April l, when the board met to consider
the subject of renewing saloon licenses
in Shoshone.
The temperance cause was repre-
sented by an assemblage Of the best
citizens from every walk Of life. Their
petition, signed by 166 voters, was pre-
sented by R. J. Mcmahon, who made a
speech in its favor that for force, clear
ness and comprehensiveness would be
difficult to excel. Rev. c. E. Varnum
followed with additional arguments and
considerations against the issuance Of
anv more saloon licenses in Shoshone,
covering the ground with the skill Of a
trained debater and with the effective
ness of deep conviction. D. W. Yaden
and Edward Pratt spoke briefly for
temperance. when the ladies were in
vited to present their views. Mrs.
Garlock, in polished, incicive sentences,
presented the material side of the ques-
ton and showed how the saloon busi-
ness blocked the further growth of the
city. Mrs. Varnum treated the subject
from mothers viewpoint and made
an impassioned appeal for the purity
and sancity of the home.
Rev. Varnum then called on the sa-
loon interests to present their side OF
the question and Thomas Fay responded
in his direct, earnest manner and spoke
for the taxpayers and these having
vested interests in the city and the city
schools, maintained in part by the in
come derived from saloon licenses. Mr..
Fay did not oppose ultimate prohibi-
tion. but urged the inexpediency of shut
ting off the revenue derived from sa-
loon licenses and running those now en-
oaged in the business of selling liquor.
Mat McFall also spoke on the side OF
license. dwelling mainly on the material
side of the issue. In closing his speech,
Mr.. McFall made the legal point that
the board. under the law. had no juris-
diction in the matter and no discretion
to refuse the granting of saloon licenses
in Shoshone.
1t seems the temperance people We're
prepared for this when Rev. Varnum
called upon Attorney Harvey a. Thomas
to explain and elucidate the law cover
ing the points at issue. It also appears
that Mr.. Thomas made good, ard that
his clear-cut and logical statement of
the legal points involved proved entirely
satisfactory TO the board.
The vote of the board is matter OF
record. Crosse voted for no license
and Curran in favor OF license, thus
throwing the burden of deciding vote
on lines. the chairman. His vote was
in favor of reissuing the license.
In a conflict between material ana
moral forces it is unavoidable that IN
terests clash and that deep feeling is
engendered. But one does not need to
be the son of prophet to foretell the
outcome of a contest between the old /.
and the new.
