LY DEVOTED TO APPLES.

The inspection Of the orchards In
commenced the first OF December, BY,
Deputy State Inspector Williams
Mohl, who Is business visitor In

growers generally anxious to co-op-
crate In the efforts to exterminate.
the fruit pests.
The entire central Idaho district
will be inspected during the next
three months and the spraying will
be commenced the latter part OF Feb
ruary or early in March. Growers
in the Lewiston country have learn
ed from experience the benefits of
cleaner fruits and the splendid ex-
hibits offered this year at the Lew
iston- Charleston fair show the results
of the efforts on the part OF the
growers to improve the quality %
the fruit.
Mr.. Mohl believes the Lewiston
valley and especially the bench lands
located east and south of the city
will eventually be devoted to the
cultivation Of apples. and has found
orchardists generally anxious to ex-
terminate all fruit pests and prevent
the spread OF pests among the young
trees In the new districts now being
established.
Mr.. Mohls visit to Lewiston at
this time is In connection with the
sale of his apple crop. grown In his
orchards, located near Mefrose. Last
year the bulk of the crop was mar
keted in Lewiston. but small ship
ments found their way into the
prairie country. The excellent ia
vor Of the fruit grown in the Roset-
ia sections and the rare keeping
qualities of these apples has created
great demand for the Rosetta ap-
pies In all sections OF the prairie
country, and Mr. Mohl will this year
sell 1000 boxes of the best grades
In the upper country.

It to Spokane is for the purpose of
visiting the national apple show that
will be open at that time, and which
will be attended by fruit growers
from all sections of the United

The celebration to be held in

cal character because Of the absence
of proper facilities for entertaining

special train composed Of standard
Pullman sleepers that has been
chartered by the Grangeville people
for their visit to the outside coun-
try
The schedule for this special train
as now being arranged will provide
for a stop of about four hours In

BAChUS TRIAL
STARTED TODAY
WILL BE TRIED FOR MURDER OF
HER HUSBAND - DEFENSE
WILL PROBABLY BE INSANITY
CASE ATTRACTS ATTENTION

The trial of Nancy Bachus for the
murder of J. M. Bachus at their
home near Clifford on the night of
September 4, last, was begun in the
district court this afternoon at 1880
O'Clock. wheh the jury box was fill
ed and the work Of examining the
jury began. Various rumors during
the day before the jury was called
We're to the effect that the trial
might not come on for hearing, but
would be settled on the confession
OF the defendant, but the rumOrs did
not materialize. and the case is now
UP to be heard on it's merits.
The murder of J. M. Bachus oc-
Cured on the night of September
4, 1908, and the story of the kill
Ing in connection with the burning
OF his home was commented on wide
iy by the press at that time. His
Vile and child appeared at the
nome OF a neighbor, where Mrs.
bachus told the story of the acci-
dental upsetting of lamp which
Set fire to the house and of the ex-
plosion Of box of cartridges which
killed her husband. But an exam
lnation Of the premises and the
wounds on the body of the deceased
gave evidence Of unmis,akable foul
play. The skull of the deceased was
crushed and there was bullet
wound in the forehead.
bachus was evidently killed while
removing the effects from the burn
ing house. He was probably hit in
tne head with club and later shot
from behind, the bullet entering low
on the neck and coming out Of the
forehead.
Mrs. Bachus, confronted with the
evidence OF the crime, told many con
nicting stories. duplicating frs
