suit recently instituted in the local
courts under which three carloads of
animals en- route to Boise were seized
in this city is being reached at a gath
ering of the victims this afternoon at
the office of District Attorney Phelps.
The settlement is only insofar as it
relates to n W. Thompson. manager
of the Palo Alto Stock farm at Boise.
who was named as a co-defendant
with the Idaho swindlers in the suit
and who was accused of conspiring
with them to secure the possession of
500, 600 worth of animals after an
attachment against them issued by an
Idaho court was dissolved.
Already some of the parties inter-
ested most heavily have agreed to the
settlement, which includes in the first
instance a dismissal of the case against
Thompson-with prejudice. and will
eXonerate the Boise man to the extent
that of the charges brought against
him originally in the case On the

men are to receive their horses from
Thompson and are to pay him a GER

An Instrument of Oppression
Everyone who realizes what an
Instrument Of oppression and destruc-
ton THIS law can be i'm the light OF re-
cent judicial decisions, ought to be
willing to concede something to Sc
cure its early modification. one
thing goes without saying, whatever
modification of the law Is made to
apply to combinations Of capital, must
apply equally to combinations of la
Dor and whatever amnesty as to the
past is given to the capital must be
given equally TO labor. If all the ele-
ments concerned approach the ques-
ton in this spirit OF adjustment, it is
possible that some amendment may be
devised which will command suffi-
cient backing to be successful. Ex-
cept In such a spirit | apprehend that
nothing can be done.
