y)RUS GETS five YEARS
For Killing Steve Pastor on
January 18th.
DISTRICT COURT IS BUSY
Jury Cases are Being Rapidly
Disposed of.

Last Saturday morning at 10
O'Clock Judge Woods sentenced
Joe Jurus to serve FIVE years in the
state penitentiary at Boise for the
murder of Steve Pastor. Jurus was
so crippled up with inflamatory
rheumatism that he had to be car
rio d into the court room. Jurus
was convicted last week for man
slaughter. He is Hungarian,
speaks very little English and has
a wife in destitute circumstances,
on which grounds, and the bad
reputation of Pastor, his attorney
made strong plea for leniency.
The court made an order, Feb.
II, to have the remains of Fred
Tyler, used as exhibits in the case
of the State VS.. Steve Adams, sent
10 Mrs. Anna Thomas at Santa,
Idaho, at tie expense of the coun-
ty.
A long list of cases have been
set to follow each other on the
calendar, and the court hopes to
be able to dispose of them at the
rate Of one case day.
On the 18th the court, having
concluded the trial Of Jurus, took
up the case entitled Norman r.
Totten VS.. A. Dugan, an action
on account. The jury was empan
eled and the trial concluded the
same day verdict being rendered
in favor Of the plaintiff, awarding
him $Ioo.
Another jury was at once called
and sworn to try the case of ]. F.
& M. M. Cox VS.. B. r. Lewis
Lumber company, action on &C
count, and on the 18th brought in
verdict for the Cox brothers,
awarding them $e58.82 with inter
est at 7 per cent since April IS,
1905, and costs of the suit.
Before adjourning until Monday
morning, Judge Woods had jury
called to try the action on contrac,
wherein the American Soda Foun
tain company was plaintiff ano
John H. Rice and others of Ceur
d'Alene were defendants. Wher

Bellgrove is not a very thickly popu-

any lumber company. The Lewis
Lumber Co., has been building rail-
road for logging purposes from the

paid any regard for wagon roads. and
In this case they closed up the wrong
road.
They crossed the county road near
Bellgrove and filed the ruad up so no
one could get across. The county
commissioners were notified, and they
sent word back for them to tear the
railroad out. That was enough. A
gang of men armed with Is Winches.

proceeded to the crossing last Mon
day, and In less time than it takes to
tell 1t they had the railroad in the

]. h. BRADY FOR, GOVERNOR
Republican State Chairman Makes
Formal Announcement.

tOrm0l announcement.
James H. Brady of Pocatello
last Friday formally announced his
candidacy for the gubernatorial
nomination of the republican party
of Idaho, to be decided at the con-
vention to be held at Boise on
September /. In his announce
ment Mr.. Brady says in part:
"During the past two months
there have come to me from every
portion of the state so many kind
suggestions with reference to my
candidacy for governor that l have
concluded to announce at this time
that if the Republican party in
state convention assembled shall
see fit to name me for that high
Office, l will accept the same with
proper realization of the honor,
dignity, labor and responsibility
involved.
alt is but fair to the people and
to others who may be aspirants,
that this announcement should be
made at this time, and | therefore
put it forth for what it may be
worth, asking only that due con.
sideration be given the same and
that the party shall pass upon the
question in the manner that to it
may appear best for the interests
Of the party organization, and for
the welfare of the state. If my
fellow Republicans think it better
to select some one else for the ex-
