Washington. Jan. 6.-The supreme
court today reversed the decision Of
the federal court of Oregon in the
case of ]. n. Williamson, convicted
of land frauds and remands the case
for a new trial.
The supreme court held that Judge
Hunt erred in instructing the jury
that a contract to sell claim before
final proof was made was illegal.
The defense had alleged that the
law IN that respect refers only to the
entry before 1t is made and not to
one in process of perfection.
The decision is regarded as a body
blod TO land fraud prosecutions and
as supporting the decision handed
down by Judge Lewis in the Colorado
cases last week. Williamson was un-
der a 10-months' sentence.

Special rates over the o. r. & N.
Off the market days OF February.
March, April and May have just been
requested by the transportation COM
mittee OF the Commercial association
and there is every prospect that the
days will be made the events Of the
months in which they are held.
owing to the near approach Of the
first market which will be held on
next Saturday, January IL, 1t was
impossible to secure rates for that
event, but It is thought that special
rates, or perhaps one and third fare
for round trip, will be granted by the
o. r. & N. for the succeeding days
and Agent F. ]. Quinlan OF the o. r.
& N. company's offices In this CITY,
today forwarded the request of the
association to the officials In Port
land.
Owing to the present strong de-
mand for young brood mares and
other classes of horses, II is thought
that the sales will be well patronlzed
and that an excellent market will be
afforded for every kind Of livestock.
The merchants are doing everything
10 make the days successful and on
next Saturday, January IL. the
scheme will be most auspiciously In
augurated-
With special sales announced IN
all the leading stores OF the city and
with reduced rates on the railroads
there will be every inducement for
country people to visit the city on
the market days aside from the In
terests and dement's to be found IN
the livestock sales which Will take
place on those days.
Farmers are urged to bring IN
their stock to be sold on these days
as there is every assurance that buy
ers from all sections OF the north
west will attend the sales, after they
once become established events.

charge on Saturday evening: Janu-
ary IL, FeDTuuTy o. moiSh -

sam Bittner, of the Alta house
feed yard, is managing the collection
of stock to be offered at the Sales
and is making excellent progress

TO attend the sales and help make

After the sales are once establish
cd. useful articles from the farm as
well as livestock, will be offered Tor

FORTY sALooNMEN IN JAIL.
Saloon Keepers Arrested at Spokane
bonds Forfeited Amounted 10

-BOnuS IOTlcltcu AhhOuhOCu W
S625O.
Spokane, Jan. 6.-Sitting on the
bare benches in the municipal court
room guarded by Chief Of Police Rice
and squad of policemen, 40 saloon
men,. who were recently convicted and
fined SIS and costs each in Justice
]. D. Hinkle's court on a charge Of
keeping their places open on Sum
day, spent over two hours aind half
in confinement Saturday, serving out
the term of imprisonment which
they have chosen in lieu of paying the
fine imposed.
The sentences of actual confine-
ment which were begun Saturday are
those imposed for the first offense
for which the saloonmen were ar
rested. The penalty for the second
offense for which the saloon men
were fined $25 and costs is still pend
ing.
Shortly after o'clock when many
Of the prisoners had begun to COM
plain that the room was getting cold,
Chief Rice addressed the crowd. in
formed them that they were released
on parole and ordered them to report
to him Sunday morning at 9 o'clock
to spend the day in confinement in
the court room. The court room has
been chosen as the place Of incarcer-
alton on account of the crowded con-
dition Of the city jail. However, three
salconmen, H. P. Leid, Frank Parot-
tai and McElvery. were confined in
Jail because they were late in report
ing to Chief Rice Saturday afternoon.
They were released at 5 o'clock along
with the others.
In the superior court Saturday
morning Judge E. H. Sullivan declar-
ed forfeited the appeal bonds,
amounting to $50 each, Of 125 sa-
Icon men who, after appealing from
the decision of Justice Hinkle to the
supreme court, asked last Monday
that their appeal be dismissed. The
total bonds forfeited amounts to $6.-
$50. The effect of Judge Sullivan's
decision yesterday was to prevent
those who had appealed from the de-
cision of Justice Hinkle from carry
| ing their cases back to the latter and
insisting on breaking into Jail to serve
out their time in lieu Of paying the
fine imposed.

and his brother. Josiah Thaw. Dur
ing the balance of this mornings ses-
sion only brief preliminaries were
completed.

torneys to delay the case.
Thaw wore the same dark blue
suit today as he did during the last
trial. Everlyn was dressed as in the
last case also. Harry waved a cheer
ry greeting to his wife and family.
Attorney Littleton made reservation
in the Thaw plea of not guilty so he
could interpollate later the plea of
insanity.

nireman called to the stand. He
said he knew White but had no opin-
ion. He was accepted by the prosecu-
ton but challenged by the defense
and excused. The next three venire-
men were excused. In the afternoon
session Evelyn was given a seat in
side the rail. At noon she visited
her husband.
